Floor area

The leading elevator-manufacturing company’s lead design center in Hyderabad reflects a pristine, yet symmetrical look that makes a lasting impression. The design ensures that the 6038.6976m2 (65,000 sq ft) space is maximized in terms of potential and scores exceptionally in the areas of innovation, creativity, functionality, sustainability and inclusivity. The design also meets and maintains the high standards of sustainability--and LEED benchmarks. The well-let interior space logically separates the service areas (lift block, service block etc.) and the central workspace, allowing for increased emphasis on each—as well as a smooth, undisruptive flow that inculcates a unique, creative, flexible and spacious vibe. The 5,000 sq ft space is designated to the R & D section--with a sleek, minimalist lab--placed transparently within the floor, and a strong floor showcase. The “Exhibit Space” offers a formidable demonstration of the company, it’s ideas, thought process, vision and mission, featuring a showcase that includes a live-scale lift model, VR demonstration and various other elements. The working area in itself is state-of-the-art—with both a symmetrical structure that removes hierarchy barriers and a healthy, steady supply of natural light. Corridors provide symmetry to the floor. Collaboration and Training rooms provide avenues for people to learn and work together. Expertly used branding colors and materials helps make the area feel more uniform, while also displaying creativity. Innovation: The symmetrical division between workplace and service areas creates a smoother workflow. The Exhibit space inculcates an accessible, yet strong sense of organizational presence. The R&D section is expertly designed to be iconoclastic, yet very task-intensive. Creativity: Expertly used branding colors and materials to create a uniform vibe. The exhibit space and research labs act as standout design elements. The place overall has an attractive, eye-catching, and perfectly balanced look. Functionality: The office is multi-purpose. The workplace has a high-wellness quotient. It also meets the requirements for it being an organizational showcase as well as a thriving ground for culture. Sustainability: The design reduces annual energy and water consumption by 20% and 40% respectively. It also features an overall 10-15% improvement in the ecological footprint. Inclusivity: The design, which removes barriers, helps aid to the hierarchy-free environment that makes each employee feel included. The flexible, spacious areas of the office are also more suited for differently-abled employees.
