A visage of antiquity blended with modern workplace design

New Delhi-based Studio IAAD, designs the Corporatedge Office as a modern workspace for the future with vintage design aesthetics at the core

Third in the series of the prestigious Corporatedge serviced offices, this workplace in New Delhi is the perfect blend of a vintage legacy with the contemporary elegance of a modern-day workspace. Nestled among the elite environs of Connaught Place in the heart of New Delhi, the site with its rich, historic past and context is a dream come true for all designers. Corporatedge is a major player in the serviced offices space in India, and the client brief laid significant emphasis on efficiency and budget, considering that the building is one of the most expensive real estates in the NCR region.

Sited on Kasturba Gandhi Marg opposite the British Council Library, amidst the context of old historic architecture of colonial times, the building looks towards the iconic Hindustan Times building and the Rajeev Chowk flag. This made it imperative for the design intervention to resonate with its iconic surroundings while existing in synergy with the context. Conceptually, the design intervention was planned to pay homage to the existing architectural vocabulary of the region without approaching classicism in its bare form, by defining a contemporary insertion in the heart of the historical center.
