The facade of the studio area has been divided into two halves, with terracotta blocks on the highest and cement panels on the underside.
As a part of the uncovered body, a horizontal bar runs between the 2 supplies of the facade, additional dividing it into two halves.
“A daring uncovered framework varieties the structural skeleton of the constructing and reinforces the juxtaposing materiality of the 2 halves of the facade,” mentioned the studio.
Alongside the bottom flooring, arched openings are organized at common intervals alongside the facade throughout the borders of the steel body, whereas rectangular home windows let gentle into the higher degree.
Inside the primary constructing, staggered ranges together with the cantilevering of the higher degree over the bottom flooring on steel frames improve the alternatives for connection between completely different studio areas.
On the primary flooring, a mezzanine space acts as an area for dialogue, with a parapet-like area branching off it to miss the bottom flooring. Additionally featured on the higher degree are convention rooms and assembly areas, together with non-public areas for the founders of the studio.

Varied options had been produced on website, together with terrazzo flooring on the bottom degree that had been solid utilizing recycled stone chips, and furnishings with birch ply tops and steel legs, akin to work desks, chairs, and tables.
To create a focus for the inside, the studio added a sage inexperienced steel spiral staircase that was chosen to mirror the colors of the encompassing panorama.
“The skeleton of the sculptural staircase is fabricated with a single stainless-steel steel sheet that’s curved and folded to brace the primary construction,” mentioned studio co-director Shalini Chandrashekar.
Within the backyard, a discarded delivery container sourced from the closest port has been retrofitted into a cloth library to be used by workers.
“The delivery container is sourced from a reseller in Chennai, which is the closest port from Bangalore,” mentioned Chandrashekar. “The reseller provides discarded containers from the delivery trade.”
“Essentially the most difficult hurdle in its conversion concerned altering the container’s dimensions and treating the outside and insulating it from the within to keep up thermal consolation,” she continued.
On a decrease degree beneath the raised library is a lined area that the studio envisions as turning into a courtyard for eating and socialising.
A winding path made out of stone tiles has been added to the backyard, becoming a member of the fabric library to the primary constructing.
