这座办公大楼位于瓦多达拉市的一个3800平方英尺的地块上,四面都是平房和其他办公室,每天都是一个非常平凡的包围圈。我们坚信,工作空间更像是第二个家。这是一个单一的空间,我们往往在这里度过一天中的大部分时间。在像瓦多达拉这样的城市,气候一年四季或多或少都是炎热和干燥的,看到大多数的办公大楼都是玻璃盒子,这是毁灭性的。它们往往呈现出很好的视野,但却限制了对新鲜空气和外部环境的接触。

Set on a plot of 3800 sq. ft. amidst the city of Vadodara, this office building is surrounded by bungalows and other offices on all sides presenting a very mundane envelope to look upon every day. We strongly believe, workspace is more like a second home. It is that single space where we tend to spend most hours of the day. In a city like Vadodara, where the climate is hot and dry more or less throughout the year, it is devastating to see majority of the office buildings as glass boxes. They tend to present great views but restricted access to fresh air and outside environment.

因此,这个办公楼的设计试图打破传统的办公楼类型,通过将自然融入建筑的体验中,实现一个对周围环境和城市气候做出一致反应的工作空间。衍生品是一个简单的灰色盒子,外围有一个常设阳台的元素。这些阳台上种满了绿色植物,作为屏幕,模糊了内部和外部的界限。这些绿色植物的屏幕可以减少热量,并允许大的开口,以获得充足的自然光和通风。

This office building is thus a design attempt to break the conventional typology of an office building and achieve a workspace which cohesively responds to the immediate context and the city’s climate by overtly integrating nature into the architectural experience of the building. The derivative is a simple grey box with an element of standing balcony running along the periphery. These balconies are filled with green plants to act as screens, blurring the boundaries between the inside and the outside. These screens of greenery cut the heat and allows large openings for ample natural light and ventilation.

客户是特许会计师,希望有一个非常专业的工作空间。他们表达了他们的要求,即建筑的一层是他们自己的办公室,另一层留作未来的扩展。在讨论这栋办公楼的典型楼层时,我们确定了合理的空间比例流线,以一种自然的方式接待客户。多个合作伙伴的参与产生了一个公共区域,容纳了接待、等待和会议室。此外,它将人们带入一个半私密的工作人员区域,最后通向主任的小屋。这种层次分明的分区为各个空间的不同类型的互动提供了理由。

The clients are Chartered Accountants with a desire of a very professional workspace. They expressed their requirement of a building with one floor housing their own office and the other left for future expansion. While debating a typical floor plate for this office building, we settled upon a logical flow of proportionate spaces to receive the clientele in a natural manner. Involvement of multiple partners gave rise to a public area accommodating a reception, waiting and conference room. Further, it takes one into a semi-private staff area leading finally to the director’s cabins. This hierarchical zoning opens grounds for different kinds of interactions in individual spaces.

Exterior is a simple geometry comprising of bold mass in grey texture with a dash of vertical striped texture in the balconies producing a bold minimalistic façade in contrast to chaotic surroundings. Exterior and Interior both were kept simple and minimal giving more importance to architectural experience and nature.

灰色、白色、木头等材料和阳台上的易于维护的植物给建筑的内部和外部都带来了自然的感觉。 通过纯白色的墙壁和白色的内置家具,我们构思了一个呼应客户职业精神的室内空间。巧妙设计的木制家具被引入,为空间增添了温暖。其异质的纹理与中性的白色并列。在一般意义上,我们保持了材料调色板的自然,没有任何化妆品的分层,以增强现实感和舒适感。

Materials such as grey, white, wood and balconies populated with easy maintenance plants render a natural feel to the building both internally and externally. With plain white walls and white built-in furniture, we have conceptualized an interior which echoes the spirit of the client’s profession. Tactfully designed wooden furniture pieces are introduced to add warmth to the spaces. Its heterogeneous texture juxtaposes the neutral whites. In general sense, we have kept the material palette natural, devoid of any cosmetic layering, to enhance realism and comfort.

所有的空间都有细长的窗户通向阳台。这些开口使人们能够看到绿色植物,允许交叉通风,以及出去享受一些新鲜感。它们或多或少地给原本简单的办公室设置增添了许多活力,产生了一个与外界环境相隔绝的室内环境。总而言之,这个办公室努力表现出一种内在的真实性,通过保持外部和内部的最小化,更加重视通过功能与自然的融合来创造建筑体验。

All the spaces have elongated windows opening into the balconies. These openings enable one to view the green plants, allow cross ventilation as well as go out for some refreshment. They more or less add a lot of life to an otherwise simple office-like setup generating an interior which is isolated yet connected to the exterior environment. To sum it up, this office strives to exhibit an inherent truthfulness, by keeping the exterior and the interior minimal giving more importance to architectural experience created by merging functionality with nature.
