The extension of L.V.P.E.I was a dream for Dr. G.N. Rao, founder of the Institute. His vision of providing internationally comparable eye care, to the group of individuals who constitute the driving force in this country so as to save their time as well as resources, had to be matched by the ambience and quality of facility in all aspects. The building was to attain its completed appearance, by rising to match the credibility of the institute’s eye care.

In the VIP patient care area to provide the ambience and the facilities that is expected for the patients who represent the principal decision makers in the country, who have opted to come for treatment to L.V.P.E.I. instead of going abroad. To introduce the use of local craftsmanship in textiles as well as other interior aspects to make the ambience more contextual as well as exclusive.

In the interiors of the Exclusive Patient Wing, two distinctly different options of ambiences, the Classical and Scandinavian, were created as per Rao’s brief through the use of local traditional arts, crafts and textiles. They are reflected in the elements like the openings, the flooring, and the toilets as well as in the screens, the furniture, the soft furnishings, the paintings, the lighting, the artworks etc. Local craftsmen were also used in development of textiles and other interior aspects to make the ambience more contextual as well as exclusive.

The options of the contemporary as well as classical areas, along with the lounge in the Exclusive Patient Wing, has lived up to the expectations and created an ambience which has been widely acclaimed by the national and international visitors to the hospital.
