NIRULA’S CORPORATE OFFICE
GURGAON
2001
__

A corporate headquarters building designed in 2001 , and completed by 2003 . Notice the lack of any visible services , and the clean lines of the structure . An experiment with traditional RCC structural elements , but insulated with thermocole in the walls , with a built space of about 50,000 sft., this building used reflective glass and was designed with a dug out basement yard at minus 5 metres level . The façade is traditional wire cut brick ,sealed in with silicone chemicals . The building was one of the “ fun experiments” of the 2000 decade , and is indicative of the change in design philosophy which evolved practice in the new millennium year, and with new materials and practices coming into the Indian market after liberalization began showing its results. The design assignment included landscape design and interiors , as well as all architectural and structural work .
