Often bold architectural forms attract both appreciation and critique of the onlookers; however, the beauty of making such design choices is always reflective of the designer’s conviction. The La Midas Institute of Wellness in Gurgaon is one such piece of architecture that brings forth the finesse with which the architects have refurbished a twenty-year-old residential dwelling into a wellness centre.

This design expression is envisioned to be viewed as bold street furniture amidst its residential surroundings, making it a contributor to the skyline of Gurgaon. The design of the wellness centre, primarily dealing with dermatological issues for women, takes inspiration from the female form. A complete turnaround of the programmatic configuration has been carefully choreographed alongside the design concept. Manifesting the formal notion of the volume, the façade detailing with definitive curves and the juxtaposition of textures helps to amplify the design’s starkness amidst its context. As the sun sets, the mildly lit façade comes alive, thereby accentuating the form in the evening sky.
