Designing Commercial Buildings for New Age India

Maximise Efficiency for the User 

User experience derives from the ease of access and a sensory experience while moving through the buildings. Creating a user-friendly experience is paramount in modern commercial buildings. Careful planning ensures smooth vehicular movement and well-organised vertical and horizontal circulation. This translates into well-appointed lobbies, elevators, and escalators that minimise wait times.

Sustainability as a Non-Negotiable

Sustainability has become a key consideration in the design of high-rise and commercial buildings across India. Thoughtful building orientation, fenestration and depth considerations allow for natural light and ventilation. Sustainability extends to material choices, emphasising natural elements like stone and wood, with smart shading solutions to minimise environmental impact.

Culture and Context is Key

In a country as culturally diverse as India, commercial architects increasingly pay attention to cultural sensitivity in their designs. This includes incorporating elements from local architectural traditions, using indigenous materials and respecting cultural symbols and practices. Such buildings not only blend harmoniously with their surroundings but also celebrate India’s rich heritage.

Embrace Smart Building Technology

Smart technology is transforming how commercial buildings operate. These systems enhance accessibility, security, and energy efficiency. They empower occupants to actively participate in building operations, promoting efficiency and sustainability.

Design for Flexibility and Adaptability

Office interior designers in India embrace flexible spaces while providing a cheerful, positive work environment. Serviceability is vital in ensuring flexibility and providing a tenacious design for any built-form. A particular space having the optimum amount of building services allocated to it with its lighting and ventilation requirements met will be deemed as flexible. Designing spaces with flexibility allows for smoother transitions and adaptability to evolving needs.

Prioritise Well-being and Comfort

Well-being and comfort are certain nuanced parameters of sustainable living that maximise occupant’s health. Incorporating elements of biophilic design into commercial building projects to enhance occupant well-being and productivity can be induced by ensuring that one is never far away from the outdoors. Incorporating outdoor spaces and efficient irrigation systems further contributes to sustainability.
