Article source: DCA Architects The design brief called for a corporate office for this renowned Indian fashion brand in order to represent their contemporary design ideology and their core values while crafting a simplistic yet dynamic and flexible work environment. The challenge was to create a cohesive space and maintain the conventional appeal as defined in the design brief. Inheriting a low building height, and a very odd floor plate that is apparent in the plans, the challenge was also to optimize the spatial arrangement. At DCA, we believe that every challenge has to be converted into an opportunity. Thus, the challenge of a very spread out floor plate has been converted into an opportunity by creating two separate entrances-one for the overall office and the other for the top management. The two wings house the main office and the top management separately, and hence enable ease of access from the two entrances. The intent is to maximize the daylight penetration as well, and hence most rooms barring a couple, get sufficient daylight.  Image Courtesy © DCA Architects

These colours are played and diversified in form, spaces, and through accents. The walls are all grey and to enable the creation of a seamless space, the grey continues into the corridors as well. Exposed Light fixtures and Robust-looking Chairs add to the conventional look and feel of the office. All materials and finishes including carpets, tiles and wooden flooring are locally sourced in line with the local approach to craft ethos of Group DCA.

A conscious effort is made to use local, made in India, sustainable materials/ technology, that reinforce traditional crafts and skillsets of the craftsmen, while minimizing the impact on the environment as much as possible. Each project is therefore not a cookie-cutter solution, but is instead climate-appropriate and designed to meet specific needs and contextual conditions that create an exclusive, yet relevant product.
