Architecture+DesignSummary: The brief was to design the interiors of the company whose product was a solar panel. Positioned on the sixth floor of a corporate building–Palm Springs–in Gurgaon, it exemplified the quintessential glass-clad container architecture of this typology. The challenge was to not only provide the work environment that people but to feed their explicit desire to do away with the frills of formality and office hierarchy and opt for more egalitarian openness that encouraged interaction. The brief also expressed a need to facilitate a generic invitational gesture towards the numerous and frequent visitors. And the budget constraint was a determinant in the design ideation and process.
The glazing that enveloped the office, making it a receptacle for an enormous quantum of sunlight generated the spatiality, both literally and allegorically. The ‘sun’ which symbolized the core of the company’s product line became a concurrent theme guiding the design through its shape (circular and oval), colours and hues and definitely for illumination.
