FARIDABAD,
NCR, INDIA | INDUSTRIAL | 8.3 ACRES | 2022
The site is located within the NCR, and houses the offices, and warehouses, for ABB. The design focus on creating a designated area for employee, vehicles, and trucks. The concept features segregated entry and exit points for trucks, employee four-wheelers, two-wheelers, and pedestrians. An MLCP is proposed near the amenity block, and employees’ vehicles can access this space via a separate entry gate to avoid traffic congestion between trucks and vehicles. Measures to improve legibility of entry zone and gates. Placemaking measures can aid in creating an employee centric campus. Employee hangout places and amenities can make the campus vibrant and inclusive.
Amenities Block
Central Plaza
A central plaza can be developed as the heart of campus enriched by employee engagement zones away from the truck movement.
MLCP
The benefits of proposing MLCP away from the central zones are several including increasing green recreational zones within the campus.
Separate Entry gate
There are two separate entry gates for employees, one exclusively for vehicles and another one exclusively for pedestrian entry.
Vehicular Movement
Entry 3 caters to vehicular movement, segregated from other modes. An MLCP (22mX38.5m) of two levels with stack parking on each floor is proposed near the amenity block to avoid traffic congestion between trucks and vehicles and can accommodate nearly 70 cars.
Truck Movement
The one-way truck movement along a 6.5m wide concrete road enables smooth movement across the truck zone.
Designated truck drivers’ recreation space is provided in proximity to the warehouse, such that it creates clear segregation in user permeability.
