位于艾哈迈达巴德的Laxcon Steels ltd的18,000平方英尺的办公大楼的设计是为了回应一些关键问题，例如：为什么办公大楼觉得需要在工业综合体中脱颖而出？为什么我们对建筑材料的选择是由什么来驱动的，而不是对工业材料性感到自豪？为什么工业建筑不能互相赞美对方的身份并融合在一起以创造一个有凝聚力的环境？
The 18,000 sq. ft. office building for Laxcon Steels ltd, located in Ahmedabad, was designed to respond to pivotal questions such as; why do office buildings feel the need to stand out in an industrial complex? Why are our choices for building materials driven by what’s fancier instead of feeling proud of industrial materiality? Why can’t industrial buildings celebrate each other’s identities and blend in to create a cohesive environment?
位于高达45度以上的高温下，最大的挑战是设计一栋办公大楼，在炎热干燥的气候和工业活动中创造出一片绿洲，并继续保持与邻近的不锈钢生产单位的联系。该建筑的设计克服了法律规定的12米宽度的限制。它创造了一个带有庭院和三层高空间的线性结构，并有连接桥将空间连接起来。
Located within soaring high temperatures that range up to 45 degrees and higher, the biggest challenge was to design an office building that creates an oasis nestled amongst the hot and dry climate and industrial activity and continues to remain connected to the neighboring stainless steel manufacturing unit. The design of the building navigates the limitation of a 12-meter width mandated by the bye-laws. It creates a linear structure with courtyards and triple-height spaces with connecting bridges that bring the space together.
该建筑的概念是受古吉拉特邦的Pol房屋的启发，其街道狭窄，通过内部庭院采光和通风。同样地，办公大楼作为一个中庭，以固定的间隔分布在整个建筑中的多个通向天空的庭院。这有助于保持用户与外部环境之间的联系，同时也为居民遮挡刺眼的阳光。
The concept for the building is inspired by the Pol houses of Gujarat with narrow streets and light and ventilation through internal courtyards. Similarly, the office building works as an atrium with multiple open-to-sky courts distributed throughout the building at regular intervals. This helps maintain a connection between the user and the outside environment while also shielding the inhabitants from the harsh sun.
工厂创造的产品的诠释被广泛用于室内的镶板、门把手和家具，以及工厂收到的大量废料或旧家具。这是对过程的赞美，也是对成品的原材料的认可。内部装修是极简主义的，采用棱形橡木镶板和暴露的RCC工作。不锈钢是工厂的原材料和成品材料，被用于主楼梯、桥梁、门把手、镶板和家具。
An interpretation of the product created by the factory is extensively used in the interiors in paneling, door handle, and furniture along with a lot of the scrap that the factory receives or used furniture. This celebrates the process and acknowledges the raw material for the finished product. The interiors are minimalist in nature with ribbed oak paneling and exposed RCC work. Stainless steel being the raw and finished material of the factory is used for the main staircase, bridges, door handles, panellings, and furniture.
