The Regional office of the Laurus Labs represents the humble attitude of the company known for its research & development and production of medical drugs. Considering it is located in a small port town of Visakhapatnam, we have kept a restrained expression so that it is not jarring from its context. The intricate details of the stone facade become apparent as you come closer to the building. The Dholpur sandstone of two different finishes, sand blasted and polished is used to highlight the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the façade.
The small town has some impressive picturesque views of the surrounding hills. Our design process started with the internal planning of spaces to make sure that each area gets the framed view of the hills. The internal planning formalized the grid system that got translated into a simple and grounded façade.
The ground floor is dedicated for accommodating larger functions such as the induction halls, cafe, reception and parking as it has a larger floor to floor height. The first, second and third floor was divided into quadrants and designed as per the need of every department. All these floors have guest rooms on the West facade for visiting employees from other cities. The fourth floor is dedicatedly kept for senior management and to accommodate their needs for meetings and lunch sessions. The terrace on the east serves as an extended cafe as it gets cooler by evening.
The planning maximized the day light, thus all the cabins and break out spaces are provided towards the glazing edge and the services are tucked into the central space. The materiality is kept natural with finishes in wood, grey and whites. The graphic patterns of flooring and art is worked out reciprocating the façade by having a geometric approach.
Considering the site is located in hot tropical climate, we looked at reducing glass by introducing thick and wide solid stone cladded frames around the glass respecting the internal planning grids thus giving a picture window to every space with reduced heat gain. The inside-out experience respects and celebrates the context of Vishakhapatnam town, with each room offering a connection to the outside.
The celebration of the town, its daily functioning and rituals as a picture window for the interior space is a reflection of the value of the company that wanted a grounded and transparent connection with the town where it chooses to have its establishment.
