Mankind Pharma is one of India’s leading and fast-growing pharmaceutical companies. Their new Head Office at New Delhi is situated right in the heart of Okhla Phase III which is the hub of industrial and commercial activity. Spread over seven floors the new company headquarters has been designed as a state-of-the-art corporate office space.
Ultraconfidentiel Design was commissioned to develop 125 000 Sq. Ft. of office space for the company’s employees across various hierarchies. The idea was to seamlessly carve-out spaces for the various brand divisions of the company, common areas for gatherings, collaborative working and spaces to relax and rejuvenate.
Trilegal, a leading full‐service law firm in India, recently inaugurated its new office in Delhi. With over 600 lawyers across existing offices in Mumbai, Gurugram and Bengaluru, the firm holds a reputed stature in the legal industry.
After the successful completion of their Mumbai office project, Trilegal entrusted Ultraconfidentiel Design with yet another branch for their growing team.
Trilegal acquired a space of 40,000 Sq.Ft. on the first floor of a corporate facility in the bustling business neighbourhood of Saket District Centre in New Delhi. Drawing inspiration from the firm’s value systems of diversity and inclusion, meritocracy and transparency, the workspace carves out two sections connected through a central circulation core. One‐half of the floor is dedicated to meeting rooms for confidential client meetings, while the other side offers the users an open‐plan workspace and cabins.
An unorthodox retreat nestled in a newly rediscovered and revamped urban market space. Aesthetics splashed with Pan Asian flavours, firmly rooted in the idea of bringing the vigour of izakayas to the heart of the country’s bustling capital. Akachōchin is Studio Dangg’s eccentric endeavour to capture the essence of Japan’s age-old street bars, and curate a space conducive to casual conversations and mirth over endless courses of food and drinks.
The unchallenged grandeur of a city that still draws breath, confined to a space that emulates Roman architecture, Baardos La Citta , a fine dining venue is weaved into the urban fabric of the city – Delhi, India. The design identity being inconsequential to its surroundings, creates an ecosystem within, to disconnect its users from the outside world.
With rudimentary elements encompassing the site, the artistic language of this spatial magnificence mimics the inward-looking Domus to avert the user’s eye from the crummy view. The nonchalant viewer experiences serenity through this unconventional milieu offering exquisite food, refreshing greenery, a grand waterfall, and natural sunlight, all while being indoors.
As the name evokes, the house is hinged around a Mulberry tree that was the only feature of a barren site. This Mulberry tree was a very old and mature landscape element when the site was first visited. The placement of the tree became the paramount device to configure the residence design that gave the house its unique identity.
The design of the studio for Urbanscape took shape with a designer’s proclivity to chart his own path and a resident’s sense of nostalgia. Establishing the need for continuity, the eccentric setting of Shahpurjat, an urban village in Delhi, packs a motley of spaces, figures and their interactions. Complimenting this eccentricity, the studio space offers a sense of continuity along the street: housing a commercial store and steps to seat the passer-by along the storefront- which lends way to a central entry point for the architectural office above.
Founded in 1953 by Late Shri Wazir Chand Khanna, Khanna Jewellers is house to one of the finest collection of exotic handcrafted jewellery.

The newly minted ITO Skywalk, a foot over-bridge in New Delhi, connecting four principal streets offers a ground-breaking solution to decongest and facilitate safe and seamless pedestrian flow amidst the heart of the city. Roughly 535m long, it spans across Sikandra Road, Mathura Road, Tilak Marg, and Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, while catering to the ITO as well as Pragati Maidan Metro stations.
Being Delhi’s longest skywalk, this integrates numerous nodes in one of the busiest stretches of the metropolis, that sees office goers commute to various corporate and government buildings in the vicinity such as the ITO, Police Headquarters, PWD Headquarters, GST Office, Supreme Court, DDA Vikas Minar, Lady Irwin College amongst others.
