“Nagvekar Hospital and Nursing Home” in Kankavli, Sindhudurg, has provided specialist healthcare to public and private patients. A well-needed extension primarily houses technology-intensive functions such as surgery, x-ray and sterilisation, but also adds new entrances, staff facilities and a restaurant. By echoing the original plans, the new design of Hospital respects the landmark building's well-known atmosphere and expression yet displays its own unique character. Using the same type of materials – red brick and a copper roof – for the extension as that of the original building has unified the new with the old, as have the coloured joints and medieval-inspired brick pattern, ensuring that the new structure naturally blends into the setting.
