Nursing College, Lauhati

Desun asked for a nursing college at Lauhati, Kolkata, that would bring teaching rooms, practical training and the support facilities of healthcare education into one compact block.

The college has 34,389 sq ft of built-up area over ground and four floors, on a site of 54,864 sq ft. At 62 ft it is the tallest building in the studio’s portfolio. Banded brick runs between stone piers, dark vertical fins order the long façades and shade the windows, and a portal frame marks the entrance.

The project is ongoing and is shown here in visualisation.
