Located in an uber dense Delhi locale, JK House forms a distinct urban landmark. The buildingdesign is both functional and expressive in nature, its lively sculptural facade is rich in simplicityand proportions. The backlit geometrical surfaces transform a mundane building corner on abusy street into a point of interest and heighten the excitement of the onlooker.Built on an urban infill site and situated within four minute walking distance from a transit hub,the project is appropriately sited to benefit from the city's growing mass public transit system.Building design takes advantage of the proximity to the available alternative transportationsystem by minimizing the onsite area dedicated to parking. For a building accommodatingabout 350 employees, the project provides for code minimum parking of 25 stalls only.The structure comprises of six full storeys; floor plates are a combinations of open-plan offices,individual offices, conference and meeting rooms. The stilt and basement floors have serviceareas, break out spaces and parking. On floors above are the office units with meeting areasand open-space workplaces. The roof area is greened and partly designed as a roof terrace.Based on the interactions with the client, Sh. J.C. Chaudhry, the primary goal was to create apositive, comfortable and productive work environment. Characteristic of Delhi's urban area, thesite is a long narrow rectangle with existing built properties on three sides, with front, rear andside setbacks. Long narrow rectangular sites pose a challenge to naturally light work spaces atlower levels and areas away from exterior walls. Given the critical role daylight plays in occupantmental and physical health, a generous sized atrium was introduced in the middle to light thebuilding from within. Low height desk partitions, light material finishes and full height glasspartitions help daylight penetration in deeper areas of the floor plate. The building emphasizesoccupant comfort with ample daylighting, natural materials, breakout spaces and a largelandscaped terrace.The interior work spaces are crafted with dramatic angles in subdued contrasting colour paletteto create a sleek, uncluttered and striking experience. The custom lighting, built in furniture,ceiling and wall design come together as a singular cohesive space to exude warmth required

for the ease of business discussions. The muted color palette and the quiet aesthetic of thestraight lines vitalizes the participants, and enables effective and precise communication. It ishere the company's deals are sealed, ideas are formed, and plans are put into action.Innovative architectural solutions come with a set of equally complex and demanding buildingconstruction processes. Transforming a building design into a physical reality is a challenge noless. Throughout the construction of the project we collaborated with RP Realtech Pvt Ltd, whowere responsible for construction execution and providing all of the material, labor, equipmentand services necessary for building completion.
