Healthcare Architecture

We understand the complexities and requirements of the ever-evolving healthcare market, ensuring that our projects meet regulations and accommodate the latest advancements in technology and changing patient demographics.

With dual accreditation from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH), SharpMinds is prequalified to design and deliver high-performance medical facilities that meet the UAE’s most rigorous healthcare planning standards.

Recognized by the DHA as a Health Facility Design Consultant across all six Role Delineation Levels (RDLs), our expertise spans the full spectrum of healthcare infrastructure—from specialized clinics to complex hospitals. Each project is engineered to elevate patient care, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure full regulatory compliance within Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s evolving health ecosystems.

Patient-Centered Design

Our medical facility design services support a comprehensive model of care, from emergency rooms to operating theaters, intensive care units, laboratories, and specialized outpatient clinics. Each journey of care is unique, and our architects, engineers and interior designers create spaces that support this model.

At the heart of our approach is patient well-being. Our project experience is recognized within the healthcare industry for our ability to listen and respond with solutions that not only follow international guidelines, but truly reflect each client's vision through the eyes of patients, families, medical staff, and the surrounding community.

When patients have a positive experience—whether it's through clear wayfinding, easy access, comfort, or privacy—they are more likely to choose the same healthcare provider again. This positive experience encourages them to seek care sooner, avoiding delays perhaps due to unpleasant memories of disorganized parking, sterile interiors or cramped waiting areas. Ultimately, this approach benefits both patients and providers.

Our designs enhance the commercial success of healthcare facilities through improved patient and staff retention, operational efficiency, and a positive brand image due to many of the design considerations.

Every healthcare environment should be as unique as its context. We embrace a deep understanding of our clients' missions and design with empathy for patients, families, and staff experiences. Our projects transform simple, strong ideas into lasting and meaningful building concepts that reinforce our clients' commitments to compassionate care. By integrating advancements in technology, innovative design thinking, and patient-centered approaches, we craft healthcare spaces that prioritize personalized care, efficiency, and sustainability, ultimately shaping the future of healthcare delivery.
