Architecture+DesignSummary: As the studio enters its teenage years of existence, it demanded a fun yet ‘architecturally charged’ environment to conduct business. Moving out of a busy commercial surrounding to a quiet piece of land amidst the blooming mustard fields, hidden within the commotion, that is, Delhi. The studio is located within the quaint boulevards lined with ficus foliage often hindering views to the randomly placed non-descriptive black gates.
One moves down a gravelled pathway to be greeted by a deep red, shipping container floating on a mound of earth surrounded by token greenery. The insides host a white Saarinen-esque table with a deconstructed polder couch upholstered in grey and military green. Turn away from the red box, and we come across ‘the studio’, a white box oriented east-west, nestled within the dense foliage of ficus trees. The entire east façade is glazed, farmed within ‘super’ thin black metal sections. All workstations are aligned perpendicular to the length of the built in the open studio space. The studio offers spaces that are varying in character and volume such as the mezzanine level, music room and the break area that act as different emotive spaces. The scaffold lattice structure is another frequently used space for retreat along with the badminton court. The idea of the scaffold is to indicate continuity and construction.
