The project is an office for a developer in Hyderabad. It sits outside a larger 7-acre construction site for an upcoming apartment complex. The client's requirement was to have an open office with ample space for parking. Though the project was supposed to be a temporary built form, it fulfilled requirements so well that the clients decided to use it as their base office instead of its intended function as a site office.
The project site was surrounded by unwanted construction noise and the movement of heavy vehicles throughout the day. Two sides of the site were high-traffic roads, while the other two sides overlooked debris from the under-construction project.
Working within these restrictions, the design creates a striking, seamless structure without making an overstatement. Solid walls are only used for services and toilet areas. The ground floor accommodates workstations, reception, conference, and discussion rooms. The first floor is largely kept open, with a few cabins and a courtyard. Openings from both the outdoor and the inner courtyard keep the interior spaces well-ventilated, limiting air conditioning requirements to only summers.
The compound wall functions as a visual barrier from the ongoing traffic activity outside while still allowing ample light to flood the interior areas. Inside, the use of transparent glass partitions makes the office visually unassuming and open. It also lets in light and views from the lush green courtyard outside.
All spaces spill out into an outdoor deck covered in plants and landscaping. The roof extends to the compound wall, restricting light and making the space below more usable. The roof and floor frame the green backdrop all around, emphasizing the mystical dialogue between the indoor and outdoor spaces through the material, usage, and functionality.
The design artfully maintains a visual connection to nature throughout the space. The roof is cut out to accommodate an existing tree. The interior space spills out into the outdoor deck with plants and landscaping, which is designed to take over the built form at one point. Over time, the office is intended to disappear into its lush green surrounding.
The material palette is, accordingly, kept simple. The same materials are used indoors and outdoors to unify the spaces, with natural wood and corten steel adding richness and character to the roof. The boundary wall is clad in limestone, while the indoor and outdoor spaces sport black limestone.
