The magnificent Symbiosis University Hospital and Research Centre (SUHRC) in Pune, India by IMK Architects was declared the Supreme Winner, at the annual Surface Design Awards in London. The firm has also won in the ‘Public Building Exterior' category for its design of SUHRC. The hospital fascinated the hearts of all judges.
