UNBOXED COWORKING, NOIDA - Metamorphosis- An Evolutionary Journey Brief Overview - Unboxed Coworking is a derivation of an evolutionary design process. Located in one of the busy industrial sector in Noida, its uniqueness is imbibed in its regenerative transformation from an old industrial unit to a dynamic coworking space. and forms that the building shell had to offer.
An eco-sensitive approach to retrofitting – Retaining most of the surfaces and reusing salvaged elements from the old building creates a resource efficient and cost effective design process. An overlap of new layers to the existing patterns and form of the building gives the space its distinct character; a dynamic mix of old and new. Alternative Design Solution
A conventional approach to retro-fitment project starts with designing from scratch, scraping of all the existing elements. It disregards the environmental impact and also results in higher costs. A balance of demolition and recreation in retro-fitments , not only reduces the project costs and environmental impacts but also adds to the essence of design capturing the imprinted layers of past. Project Information

Essence of revival
The amalgamative approach used to create Unboxed Coworking provides the spaces with the comfort of familiarity. So when the old building’s service lobby was transformed into an informal exhibition area, it became a memoir of the buildings past. The artwork and story exhibitions create a buzz in the place, giving way to profound conversations.This acquaintance creates an ease with the space inhibited by the coworkers thus fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
