Architect's Office in Noida
A small boutique architecture firm’s office needs lots of natural daylight, efficient and generous work spaces and a place to meet and discuss. These are all the things that comprise of the office for Rationale de Design architects in Noida.
Design
The design was envisaged for maximum space utilization, therefore the entry was placed in the center and two parallel rows of workstations were created to seat the maximum number of people in a workstation layout. A central round discussion table was put in the center that doubled up as a reception, additional seating and space for any short discussions where people could just turn their chairs around for a short meeting.
Comfort
High interior ceilings were the first intervention to make the volume bigger, which required the movement of the air-conditioning services as well as the proper planning of ducting and other services above the false ceiling. The result was a very well lit space that allowed the body’s circadian rhythms to be in sync with the natural daily cycle of the sun’s movement.
Performance
The use of LED lights and an efficient air-conditioning systems control were key to reducing the electricity use in the office. Access control, and CCTV cameras were also added for added security. The materials used in the space were all highly durable and environmentally friendly materials with minimal impact on human health while maintaining the aesthetics of the space.
