A LIVING WORKSPACE: AMOEBA'S BOLD FUSION OF NATURE, FUNCTION, AND INNOVATION
Commercial Design
|February 2025
Amoeba office, a contemporary workspace design by Hiren Patel Architects is a seamless fusion of nature, functionality, and sustainability in Surat's dynamic landscape
Surat, a vibrant hub of commerce and culture in Gujarat, is celebrated for its textile prowess and diamond trade. Beyond its industrial legacy, Surat seamlessly blends deep-rooted traditions with a spirit of modern innovation. Within this dynamic urban landscape, Amoeba-a groundbreaking office project by Hiren Patel Architects-redefines contemporary workspace design by harmonising architecture with nature.
A BOLD RE-IMAGINATION OF WORKSPACES Spanning over 8,000 sq ft, Amoeba is more than just an office-it's a bold reimagination of workspace aspirations. Its organic, flowing design sets it apart from rigid corporate architecture, creating a space that feels alive and adaptive, just as its name suggests.
A LIVING, BREATHING WORKSPACE True to its namesake, Amoeba embodies fluidity and adaptability. Inspired by the natural forms of the organism, the design features four glass cubes: a directors' suit, a meeting room, a staff area, and a central veranda.
