  • This Office is a Modern Take on Vernacular Buildings for People of Gujarat | Manoj Patel Design Studio

    Inspired by the Nation’s Vision of Naya Bharat, and to address both present and future public needs, the idea emerged to establish a building that functions effectively at the grassroots level. Believing in this vision, an MLA Office for the 146th Vidhan Sabha Constituency in Gujarat was conceived and developed as a modern interpretation of vernacular buildings. The facility center spans 4,480 sq. ft. of built-up area on a 1,350 sq. ft. plot. The esteemed MLA envisioned a space where helpful one-on-one interactions with constituents could take place. This office serves as both an administrative hub and a bridge between the governance and its people.

    This center is planned in the core of the Town of Vadodara city, which has residential, commercial and hospitals in its nearby vicinity.

How activities work, what security concerns need to be prefeed and how the functions should be segregated.
