Wood and Plants Brings Warmth and Positivity To this Opulent Rooftop Office in Gurugram by groupDCA

Amit Aurora of groupDCA has completed a rooftop office in Gurugram for a real estate giant- Paras Buildtech. Considering the client’s focus on quality and excellence, groupDCA designed the interiors to appeal to clients with the promise of sophistication and luxury. The modern commercial workspace features the right dose of woodwork and greenery, adding warmth and positivity to the interiors. While the use of plush upholstery, bold colour palette and ornate decor give the space a classic and sophisticated appeal. Further, daylight drenches the office through the extensive glazing, creating an enlivening, collaborative environment, reducing the need for artificial lights. The architect has shared with SURFACES REPORTER (SR) about the making of the space that is not only opulent and inviting, but also aligns effortlessly with the brand’s image and business objective.

groupDCA has incorporated luxury and biophilic design principles while designing this corporate office for  Paras Buildtech - a brand that deals in state-of-the-art residential projects, high-end commercial spaces, and internationally styled retail avenues.

Welcoming and  Elegant Reception Area

Dark colours, plush upholstery, and ornate decor welcome clients at the reception.

Crystal chandeliers add an elegant touch to the lounge and the imposing colour palette of black and blue offers a tranquil atmosphere and a strong background allowing the heavy wooden paneling to stand out. 

Biophilic Design Interventions

The reception directs to the main open workspace which is embellished with linear walkways.

Biophilic design interventions bring a breath of fresh air to the office. Planters line the desks, lending an inherent warmth and calm to the space and adding fresh character to the corporate atmosphere.

To balance the ebb and flow of everyday life, the terrace of this rooftop workspace is accessible from every corner of the office. Lined with planters and large Champa trees, the arrangement establishes a strong connection with nature amidst the bustling city.

The ergonomic layout of the workspace, oriented around the terrace, provides definition while retaining a feeling of transparency and openness.

Large Windows for Panoramic Views and Light

The large windows along one side of the open workspace direct the gaze towards the terrace, and beyond it, to the sweeping views of Gurugram’s skyline. Natural light floods the office through the extensive glazing, creating an uplifting, collaborative environment, minimising the need for artificial lights.

Acoustic Comfort and Speech Privacy

To offer privacy, one side of the main workspace has meeting rooms and offices for the heads of departments.

Against the glazing overlooking the terrace are multiple lounges and interspersed between them are phone booths for private conversations.

The linearity of the walkways between the open workspace is mirrored by the acoustical fins mounted to the ceiling, dampening the ambient sounds and adding another layer of privacy to the interiors.

Fusion of Leather and Wood in the Director’s Cabin

A private hallway leads to the Director’s room, where the generous use of heavy wood paneling and textured leather adds a masculine touch, while the angled floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light and offers impressive views of the skyscrapers surrounding the building.

The mixture of organic materials and decorative elements, like the crystal chandeliers and antique mirrors, make for an alluring statement. The Managing Directors’ office in all white is furnished with warm wood tones and leather for a soft, yet luxurious touch. 

Mixing the principles of timeless design with contemporary sentimentalities, Paras’ corporate office serves as a canvas for clients, assuring them of the quality and excellence the brand has to offer.
