該項目位於印度昌迪加爾的衛星城默哈利市（Mohali）。昌迪加爾作為一座由柯布西耶所設計的城市，在一定意義上成為了印度現代化的一個符號象征。項目基地則處於莫哈利市其中一個最繁忙的商業中心的主路旁。該項目旨在為長期與建築師所合作的建造商設計一個辦公場所，不光要呈現出其建設的高超技術，還要能體現建築師和建造商對該項目所持有的共同思考。
The project is located in Mohali (Punjab) a satellite town of Chandigarh. Chandigarh a is a city designed by le Corbusier located 250km from New Delhi and is a symbol of modernism in India. The site is located on one of central sector road facing one of the busiest commercial hubs of the Mohali. The brief was to design a working office for a builder who is closely associated with our practice. The office had to be a reflection of both the builder’s execution skills and the design philosophies behind our projects.
項目主要旨在回應狹長細小的基地現狀。建築師設計了一個封閉的盒子，但同時盡可能多地進行了開口上的設計，以讓天光可以透過這些縫隙進入空間的內部。此外，建築師還設計了一個庭院，並將其作為內外空間的一個過渡。建築師借助強烈而又清晰的幾何線條和橢圓形，在解決複雜場地現狀的同時，還營造出了一係列的空間序列。總的來說，建築師試圖在這個有限的場地中，將各種必備的元素進行最大化地詮釋和設計，以滿足業主的各類需求。
The concept was primarily a response to the narrow & small site located on one of busiest roads of Mohali (a satellite town of Chandigarh). The central idea was to design a closed box opening mostly skywards but with careful gaps looking into the street and using the courtyard as a buffer between the exterior & the interior. The strong & clear geometry of intersecting lines & an ellipse resolve a complex brief and create the requisite spatial sequence. The idea was to utilize the small site by building the bare Essential number of elements with each element achieving its maximum efficacy.
業主希望在空間的一層能有一個小型的接待台，一個巨大的辦公空間及其一個配套的會議室。而在空間的二層，業主則試圖創建一個可供各個團隊共同協作的共享空間，也就是第二辦公空間。此外，業主還希望兩層的空間能分別前往室外的露台，來為辦公室日後的擴建提供可能。
The primary requirements were a small reception, a large office with an attached meeting room on the ground level and a work-space for the accounts team along with a second office on the second level. A significant requirement was a separate access to the terrace to allow for future expansion with ever increasing floor area ratios in these commercial hubs.
建築師為了實現這一要求，設計了一個巨大的中心體塊，並將剩餘的一係列空間圍繞其進行依次分布。兩堵交叉成L型的牆壁將內部的空間入口導向了外部繁忙的商業中心。而另外一堵隔牆則提供了前往主辦公室衛生間的獨立通道。建築師所設計的橢圓形體塊主要被用於封閉的會議空間，並同時與中心的開放體塊和主辦公室空間相連。
All the requirements were met with a clear thought of spaces flowing into one another along with a large central volume. Two intersecting walls that form a sort of “L” allow reorienting the entrance towards the main centre of the commercial hub which is located just after a plot on the left of our site. The other wall allows us a separate access to the third level & also the washrooms for the main office. The central ellipse on the ground level is the closed meeting room (required for all cash transactions prevalent among builders) which is attached to the main office as well as the central space.
而內部庭院的引入和天光開口的設計，則試圖給內部的用戶營造一種自然之感，使他們可以感受到外部的微風、光照和綠意。而建築的立麵則被設計成一張空白的畫布，以讓陽光可以透過一旁行道樹的葉隙，自由地灑落在這一麵板之上。建築師對整體的材料色調進行了高度的把控，隻使用了白色大理石，sivakasi黃金花崗岩以及簡單的白色烤漆表麵，旨在營造一個簡約的自然之感。
The interjection of courtyards & skylights is a strategy that allow us to experience the fragments of nature like the wind, light &greenery & break the powerful geometry of the elements of design. The facade is like a blank canvas for the light to manifest its magic filtering through the foliage of the tree right in front of the site. The overall material palette is limited to only white marble & sivakasi gold granite along with simple white painted surfaces.
