Based on the discussion held and the revised submission made, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The Commission observed that the proposal for additions/alteration has been received at the formal stage but an insufficient number of 3D views of the proposed design scheme has been submitted. Annotated 3D views of the design scheme from all sides with better viewing angles (including the birds' eye views, terrace, public interface areas, night-time views to understand the lighting mechanism better etc.) shall be submitted for its judicious consideration.

b) Also, elevations, sections, and other detailed drawings of the design scheme appear to be missing in the submission. Since the proposal is at the formal stage it shall be complete in all respect with elevations/sections/3D views etc.   

c) The area accommodating the DG set, DG exhaust pipes, AC plant etc. shall be suitably screened using appropriate architectural mechanisms so as not to remain visible, and mar the aesthetics of the complex, a design scheme in this regard shall be submitted.

d) Extensive modifications have been envisaged for the hospital complex; the existing photographs show a lot of exposed outdoor air-conditioners protruding out from the façade spoiling the external façade. The air-conditioners could be an eye-sore to the building façade. To avoid the same, the provision shall be made to screen all those outdoor air-conditioning units, so as not to mar the aesthetics. A comprehensive design scheme (drawings/elevations/3d views etc.) shall be submitted for the review of the Commission.

e) Installation of Solar photovoltaic panels shall be maximised and help reduce the carbon footprints. Sustainability features shall be as per point no. 7 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

f) All plumbing pipes, service equipment, water tanks, air-conditioning units, solar panels, DG set, DG exhaust pipes etc. should be camouflaged appropriately (in terms of point nos. 10, 11 & 12 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

Building plan proposal for additions/alterations in respect of Holy family hospital at Okhla Road. (Conceptual Stage)

1. The proposal was forwarded directly by the Architect (online) for consideration by the Commission.
2. The Commission approved the building plan proposal for additions/alterations (layout plan) at its meeting held on January 14, 2009, and specific observations were given.

Based on the discussion (online) held and the submission made, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The Commission observed that a New Superspeciality block has been proposed (B+G+10). The architect has envisaged providing requisite car parking requirements (1281 ECS) out of which 1019 cars have been accommodated in the 4 levels of fragmented open puzzle parking and the rest 262 ECS on the surface both of these options covering a substantial part of the open surface which could otherwise be put to judicious use including open landscaped permeable green spaces etc.   Also, considering the visual & urban aesthetics this option appears to be not acceptable to the Commission.

b) In view of the above, it was suggested to explore two/three alternative options to accommodate statutory requisite car parking requirements including the possibility of creating basements for parking and the freed-up open spaces being put to judicious use including open landscaped permeable green spaces etc.

c) The Commission opines that not addressing parking requirements realistically & futuristically could spoil the overall visual, urban, environmental, and aesthetic quality of the hospital campus. Existing parking and parking from additional FAR (proposed) are to be shown clearly on the layout plan with a bifurcation of two (current + proposed).

d) The Sustainability features shall be as per point no. 7 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

e) All plumbing pipes, service equipment, water tanks, air-conditioning units, solar panels etc. should be camouflaged appropriately (in terms of point nos. 10, 11 & 12 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.
