The office of AU Real Estate in New Delhi is designed as a modern workspace that blends design with a boutique aesthetic. The design intent is to create an office space that breaks away from traditional real estate stereotypes, presenting itself as a fresh, innovative face for a trusted and successful legacy.
Design: A Branding Medium
The vision was inspired by the need to challenge the common perception of real estate as untrustworthy. For this, a strong visual connection throughout the floor plate was established. This was achieved through the use of layered, porous metal-meshed screens, which offer a sense of openness and transparency, allowing for uninterrupted visibility across the workspace.
The design capitalised on the existing shopfront glazing on both the front and rear facades, shaded by expansive five-meter-wide verandas. This approach ensures visual connectivity with the exterior while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, creating an engaging interface with the outside world for both employees and passersby.
A Journey Through Spaces
As you step into the AU Real Estate office, you are welcomed by a grand reception area that transitions into the experience centre. This space is designed to serve as a versatile hub, transforming into a lively venue for special occasions, celebrations, and project launches when required.
The journey continues as your eyes are drawn to the slick monochromatic palette. Stainless steel accents add a contemporary edge, complemented by a neutral grey marble floor that spans across the reception and experience centre.
The ambience shifts into a warm and premium zone as you move further. This elegant space, draped in the finest fabrics, showcases bespoke furniture and carefully curated artwork, offering a refined atmosphere for executives. On the other side, the tone of the workstation area transitions to a soft yet modern aesthetic.
Human-Centric and Environmentally Conscious
The design integrates environmental consciousness, targeting LEED Gold Certification through the use of sustainable materials and efficient systems.
The see-through layout, and ergonomic and adaptable spaces reflect the brand’s ethos of openness and trust. The office promotes a human-centric ethos, integrating functionality with aesthetics to create a space that is inviting and purpose-driven.
In line with its commitment to sustainability, all materials dismantled during the process were repurposed, showcasing resourcefulness at its core. With fewer people occupying more space, the design prioritises comfort, collaboration, and well-being, fostering an environment where individuals can thrive.
