Inside the beta test that could reshape how architects work

On the surface, it looks like a new design studio taking shape in Gurgaon.

But step inside, and it's clear this isn't just another co-working space for architects. The tables are covered with real material samples, walls are lined with curated catalogues, and small teams are quietly huddled in review rooms.

There's no launch signage, not much social media blitz, just a slow and steady stream of professionals testing what might soon become a new standard in architectural workflows. Welcome to the beta phase of the Knowledge Center's One-Day Design Lab.

Now in soft launch, the One-Day Design Lab is being quietly tested by select architecture studios, real estate developers, and design educators, just before it opens to the wider industry. The idea is simple: to compress what normally takes weeks-material selection, catalogue browsing, technical clarifications, and client approvals-into a single working day.
