Situated within a verdant campus that houses Asia’s largest biogas plant, the curved building project was approached with the intent to redefine conventional office architecture. The client, already committed to sustainability, was keen on a design that resonated with the ecological ethos of the site while fostering a dynamic workspace.
Editor’s Note: “In an ecology-driven landscape, this Whispering Curve Office flows like nature itself, with structure, spirit, care, and purpose. Light plays, air circulates freely within its flowing curves, and green horizons overflow indoors. It is not only an office, but an oasis of clarity, of connection, of continuity.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
This Curved Building Integrates Asia’s Largest Biogas Plant with Workspace | Ace Associates
Rather than adhering to a rigid, rectilinear layout, we embraced a fluid, curvilinear form—one that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, creating an urban oasis within the larger campus.
As one approaches the building, the experience is curated to dissolve boundaries between built and unbuilt spaces.
The reception area, positioned as a transparent threshold, is open from all sides, allowing the lush greenery to visually extend into the interior, blurring distinctions between inside and out.
The circulation spine, flanked by a continuous green scape, guides visitors toward the Managing Director’s cabin, which is strategically positioned to command a sweeping 270-degree view of the landscaped front yard, establishing a strong dialogue between the built form and its natural surroundings.
Oriented towards the south, the administrative block follows an organic curvature, shielding workspaces from direct solar glare while fostering a layered spatial hierarchy.
The curvilinear façade not only mitigates heat gain but also subtly delineates the transition from the public realm to the semi-public administrative zone.
The layout is thoughtfully configured to house key functional spaces, including a conference room, accounts cabin, IT cabin, and two meeting rooms—all designed to facilitate seamless workflow while maintaining visual and spatial connectivity with the landscape beyond.
This office block synthesizes sustainability, spatial fluidity, and user-centric planning. It ensures the built environment constantly engages with nature while catering to the functional and experiential needs of its occupants.
