Challenge
Create a healthcare environment that meets hospital requirements while offering a calmer, more comfortable and hotel-like stay for patients and their companions.
Interior design of the Gandhi Hospital hotel-hospital in Tehran, combining patient comfort, companion support and hospitality-inspired healthcare planning.

The brief, context, and coordinated thinking behind the work.
ESPO developed the interior design of the Gandhi Hospital Hotel-Hospital in Tehran as a hospitality-led healthcare environment focused on patient comfort, privacy and efficient clinical support.
The project translates the hotel-hospital concept into a warm and organized interior language where patient accommodation, companion comfort and support amenities are integrated within a coherent healthcare setting.
Based on the available project information and the approved visual set, the design includes patient-room and suite environments, companion seating, integrated storage, bed-head service walls, workspace elements and supportive kitchenette-style areas. Spatial planning was organized to balance calm residential character with healthcare functionality.
The project uses warm wood finishes, neutral palettes, indirect lighting and carefully controlled decorative elements to soften the clinical atmosphere. This approach helps the space feel more welcoming and dignified while preserving a clear care-oriented layout.
Integrated seating, artwork, writing surfaces and support functions contribute to a more comfortable patient and companion experience, reinforcing the hotel-hospital identity of the project.
A central objective of the design was to improve the emotional quality of the stay for both patients and companions. Privacy, visual calm, ease of use and supportive amenities were treated as essential parts of the care environment rather than secondary additions.
The result is a patient-focused interior concept that combines healthcare requirements with a warmer hospitality-led experience.
