In the world of architecture, the synergy between form and function is a delicate dance that requires a keen understanding of space, materials, and aesthetics. To incorporate these along with the client’s needs can be a challenge. Orbit Group’s sales gallery and office is a great example of this exemplifying a delicate balance, to showcase a harmonious blend of architectural innovation and sustainability.

The client brief was to create a space that accommodates the promoter’s requirements for an upcoming construction site. This was clubbed with the primary objective of reflecting the rawness of the construction site while maintaining a temporary yet lasting feel.

DESIGN AND THEME:

The project takes a cohesive design approach to encompass both architectural and interior aspects. Two inverted sloping roofs connected by a central spine create a visually captivating structure. This element not only adds a touch of architectural intrigue but also serves a practical purpose by housing the A/C duct system, ensuring efficient temperature control throughout the space.

But what truly sets this project apart is the deliberate choice to embrace the raw. The aesthetics of a construction site have been embraced with deliberately unpainted, unplastered, unpanelled, and uncladded walls. The interior design complements this theme by resembling a construction site, capturing its temporary nature while prioritizing sustainability. Bold colours have been strategically incorporated into the design, adding vibrancy to the raw elements.
