Nestled in the heart of Delhi’s newest CBD (Central Business District), the 3636-sqm SJVN office embodies thoughtful design principles aimed at accommodating evolving workstyles. Spread across three plates connected by a central core, its layout responds to its urban context. Every aspect of the design has been crafted to enhance functionality and relevance in today’s rapidly changing work environment.
We must recognise the profound impact that well-designed, adaptable workspaces can have on employee satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being and we must appreciate the transformative power of architecture and design in creating spaces that inspire, innovate, and adapt to the changing needs of the workforce.
Harsh Varshenya - Director & Principal Architect, STHAPATI

The design aims to invigorate the environment and break away from the monotony of traditional office settings through use of rich materials, vibrant colours, and an open layout style, creating a space that fosters creativity, collaboration, and productivity.

Wooden ceilings, intricate wall patterns, and marble flooring from quarries in Rajasthan add a touch of warmth. Meeting room tables made of real wood, ergonomically designed chairs featuring recycled leather content, harmonise with the patterned veneer wall finishes, while the patterned carpet flooring boasts the lowest amount of dust retention, making the room easy to maintain despite its heavy use.

The boardroom offers expansive views of the city’s green areas, bathing the room in natural light throughout the day, while sensor-based lighting adds a dynamic element. The passageways leading to the offices blend transparency with adjoining workstations, offering a unique ‘inside out’ perspective.

Madhubani, Warli, Kangra, and Kalankari styles of paintings adorn the walls, showcasing the artistry of regions like Himachal, Nepal, Bhutan, and Uttarakhand. This thoughtful integration of traditional art enriches the space’s visual appeal and provides a platform for local artisans to showcase their craftsmanship.
