Located in a tony neighbourhood of a Delhi suburb, the brief
was to create an in house conference facility for a multi-national company. The
building would have to accommodate several sizes of conference spaces, training
rooms, a large dining area and several guest rooms.
A large existing tree at the site entrance provided the
inspiration to create a naturally shaded entrance area. Planned to be an
extension of the garden, this space leads on to a central spine along which the
various facilites are distributed. The training rooms are situated below
ground, to allow for better sound insulation and privacy.
The approach was to plan the building to make each space as
naturally lit as possible, especially the subterranean spaces. This was
achieved by carving out a long sunken area on the western periphery of the
property. This brings in light to training rooms and a large dining area at the
rear, which can also be approached via a stair from the rear garden.
A unique
glazing detail was designed specifically for the lounge space that overlooks
the front garden. Double glazed insulated panels are fixed edge to edge with
custom designed stainless steel vertical supports. This detail allows for a
seamless integration of interior and exterior space. The exterior of the
building is finished in a beige sandstone, local to this region.
