India Glycols Corporate Office
Sector 126, Noida, India
The office design for the corporate office
for India Glycols embodies the issues concerning the workplace today, and
explores the paradigm of the office space as a social activity. Sited in a non-contextual suburban area of
Delhi, the setting, led to the development of an introverted scheme that would
address environmental and socio-economic issues from first principles.
As is the nature of most custom designed
corporate developments, the building had to exemplify the identity and
corporate ideology of equity and transparency in the workplace as an integral
part of the architectural vocabulary. Conceived as a solid perimeter scheme
with a more fluid interior, the morphology blurs the interface between the
inside and outside. The site surroundings and context along with an optimum
enclosed square volume enabled a built form with minimum exposed surface area. The
built form configured of 8m wide office bays optimizes the natural day lighting
and helps to define the programmatic requirements of the office. A stacking
system is used to generate a variety of open spaces; courtyards, verandahs,
terraces, green roofs etc. that help to structure the office spaces. A central
spine traversing the built volume serves as the common activity zone, with
other departments branching out. The design’s conceptual strength comes from
the spatial organization which creates overlaps between the exterior and the
interior and between the various programmatic requirements, hence creating a
vibrant and creative work environment.
Energy Consciousness dictates the internal
spatial and programmatic composition through a series of open and semi-open
spaces. Instead of an overlay of an environmental layer, Passive design
techniques are employed throughout the scheme and takes into consideration the
importance and relevance of energy conscious design within the modern work
culture. Solar exclusion is achieved by means of a solid external perimeter,
which only permits diffused daylight into the office environs. The reliance on
artificial Lighting is substantially reduced as courtyards are created to
increase natural light levels on the floor plates. The courtyards help to keep
the solar ingress out and control the temperatures of a multitude of spaces
throughout the building while also allowing for sufficient day lighting into
the workspaces. External Spaces are tempered using courtyards and terrace
gardens that facilitate thermal insulation. Shaded Outer façade with air cavity
construction, very small slit windows on the outside, courtyards with
microclimate controls (shading and mist gardens, water bodies and plantations)
all aid in reducing the solar ingress. Green Roofs and terrace gardens also
provide a high level of thermal insulation. Water bodies aid in evaporative
cooling thereby reducing dependence on artificial means of cooling and also create
a microcosm of the civic environment rich with the potential for social
transactions.
he underlying principle was that ‘The work
place should manifest itself as a more flexible and integral part of an
employee’s life rather than a separate entity of specified hours of
confinement.’ Rhythmic articulation of volumes and spaces generates a scheme
that is a radical departure from the structured differentiated spaces of the
traditional office and the monotony of the open plan halls that have dominated
office planning. The IGL campus makes a cultural statement through the
importance and relevance of energy conscious design within the contemporary
Indian work culture paradigm.
