SYNERGIA

Office building for Millennials

Gurgaon , Haryana Sem 6 (2018)

‘Synergia’ is an office building situated adjacent to the busy DelhiGurgaon and Delhi-Jaipur expressways. The precinct is a hub of a variety of offices. Unfortunately being affected by vehicular traffic, it is not pedestrian friendly and lacks public spaces for employees to gather. Apart from street hawkers, there are no food courts or restaurants in the close vicinity.

Sandwiched between two existing office buildings, Synergia creates a food street with restaurants on both the sides making it a public node for the employees as well as the general public.

The tower sits on the public podium which constantly evolves due to the use of Light Transmitting Concrete panels. Interesting shadows are created on the facade of the podium as people walk through the space inside making the building come to life.

A sunken spill-out is created out of the existing cluster of trees present on the site creating a shaded ‘haat’ for informal discussions. Ample amount of daylight cuts through the skylight in the public floors of the building.

Being a space for Millennials, the office floor plate provides for different kind of work spaces - formal workstations, individual pods, relax stations, etc in an open floor plan. Flexibility is provided in all the spaces.
