3 A Design Fort Architects: Archohm Consults, Noida Archohm's head office in India, often labelled as a design fort, reflects the 'mad and fun' design philosophy of the architects. The site is located in an extremely dense suburban area within the vicinity of the NCR. Amidst the urban city conditions, the triangulated plot is flanked by the 'Jama mosque', industrial factories and a large slum development. Photo Credit: André J Fanthome ARCHITECTURE+DESIGN January

4 Architectural Studio Spaces A Corporate Entity Architects: Ajit Nair Architects Atelier Pvt Ltd, Vadodara Located on Sama Savli Road, the freestanding office building aspires clarity, simplicity and precision of architectural expression. This was the architect s dream to have an office reflecting its corporate entity, the craving for opulence in details and emphasis on theme quality. The office space is sectioned into a reception lobby with waiting area, studio and an outdoor studio on the ground level, director s cabin, conference room, a small pantry adjoining the meeting room and an open office space for lease on the first floor. The second floor contains additional space of 260sq m for future requirements. Underground parking of 210sq m forms a part of this 800sq m area. 60 January 2014 ARCHITECTURE+DESIGN

6 Architectural Studio Spaces Melting Whiteness Architects: Studio Frozen Music, Nasik While designing the work studio on the ground floor, the architect intended to reflect the character of the studio that synchronised with the overall character of the building in which it resides. The design brief for the work studio was to have a simple, fresh, cozy, well lit space for working, studying and the exchange of ideas. Due to the limited area, all the rigid compartmentalisation was avoided in order to enhance the continuity of the space. Though the actual floor area of the work-studio was small, the outdoor court adjacent to the studio does not make the indoor area look cramped and dull, because of its well lit character and landscape. 80 January 2014 ARCHITECTURE+DESIGN
