Architecture Studio Design With Distinctive Facade | SDeG

This architecture studio design in Bangalore features a unique facade that transcends personal choices, instincts, and stylistic leanings. This is the Architect’s own office and is perhaps the most difficult self-initiated project to embark on. They imagined a space of minimum bias, a neutral environment for creative thinking, with several anchoring devices and moments – ‘narratives and extracts’ from their projects and pursuits.  

113 is an office building on a 2,400 sq ft site, that accommodates studio on two levels, with two additional floors for future multidisciplinary use.

Editor’s Note: “This Bengaluru-based architecture studio stands out with its striking façade and imaginative design. By carving out imaginative spaces flourishing with creativity and inspiration in each corner, design narrates the art of creative thinking. By carefully crafting the openings, and amalgamation of even-toned materials, the building shelters sunlight, creating a neutral environment for creative flow.” ~ Rajvi Dedakiya

Shell and Enclosure

113 is flanked by buildings on the North and east (and very soon to the west). The shell is designed to hold the core and building services at the rear, with an uninterrupted floor plate towards the street to draw light from large recessed glazing.

We worked with a limited palette of four materials for shell, infill and experience – concrete, lime plaster, glass and steel panels. These four materials combine in several ways, as ensembles on the exteriors and interiors.

Design Studio

Our design studio is located on levels three and four. A series of pivoted louvers (from ideas for a façade prototype) in perforated steel and birch ply, form a loose partition device between the entry lobby and the rest of the studio.

A lighting spline, sets off from this edge weaving through the studio, as the primary source of illumination on this floor. A perforated steel platform in nonchalant red, creates a diaphanous connection between both floors.

Several other streaks of colour cut through the office as distractions, to draw attention to specific elements, intersections and circulation.

The upper level is used for meetings and events. Movable partitions allow for flexible configurations during client presentations and socials, spilling over to a terrace and garden.

The break out area is that much-needed lung space in a taut urban setting and in many ways has been crucial to the studio’s pulse and well-being.
