Bernousis Hospital.

Bernousis Hospital is a visionary healthcare proposal located in Uttara, Dhaka, designed to blend advanced medical care with the healing power of nature. The concept emphasizes natural ventilation, with 90% of spaces benefiting from cross-ventilation, and maximized daylight through light wells and reflective shelves. Orientation and local shading devices reduce heat gain, enhancing energy efficiency while creating a comfortable indoor climate.

The hospital’s vertical zoning ensures clear functional separation and efficient circulation. The ground floor includes parking, an information desk, emergency services, and a pharmacy. The first floor hosts ambulatory surgery and diagnostic labs; the second features consultation chambers; the third offers a coffee shop and multipurpose hall. The fourth floor includes administrative spaces, a prayer room, and a library, while the fifth supports wellness with yoga, meditation, and a gym. A rooftop garden with solar panels crowns the building, promoting sustainability.

Green spaces and water features are seamlessly integrated throughout, offering moments of calm and connection. Local materials and cost-effective systems—such as rainwater harvesting and intended solar energy use—further reinforce the hospital’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Bernousis Hospital redefines healthcare architecture as a holistic experience where healing, nature, and technology coexist.
