Studio Lotus breathes new life into Chennai's largest IT park with the design of The Hub at DLF Cybercity, Chennai - a dynamic mixeduse community hub that's a vibrant fusion of industrial design and community-centric spaces.

Studio Lotus has reimagined the heart of Chennai's largest IT park, DLF Cybercity, by designing Block 12 as a dynamic mixeduse community hub. Positioned as the central focal point of this Grade-A office space, Block 12 seamlessly blends the professional environment with vibrant social spaces, creating an inviting destination for both office-goers and visitors. The design thoughtfully integrates varying architectural elements- from the sleek dark tones of the office block's curtain-wall glazing to the container box cladding of the Amenity Block-resulting in a distinctive identity that enhances the overall campus while offering a lively and engaging experience.
Block 12, the pulsating heart of DLF Cybercity in Chennai's leading IT SEZ, emerges as a vibrant destination, seamlessly blending work and play. Conceptualized as the central hub of this sprawling Grade-A office space, the design was crafted through a close collaboration with the client, ensuring that every amenity was thoughtfully placed to enhance the synergy between the amenity block and the office block.This story is from the September 2024 edition of Commercial Design.
