Spaces For The ‘Work Hard, Play Hard' Generation
Indian Architect & Builder|September 2019
The office space for Delhivery in Mumbai, designed by Architecture Discipline goes back to the university to pick up ideas on how to make employees love the workplace. With interesting design elements that take us back to fun college days, the office still manages to symbolize a stable and ambitious start-up culture that is employee-centric and edgy, yet aligned to other Delhivery offices across the country in terms of its visual and design identity.

Spaces For The ‘Work Hard, Play Hard' Generation

Workplaces have changed drastically today from what we traditionally knew them to be. And so has their purpose and program. Great success for organizations is now believed to be attained only when ideas are bounced off each other, complement each other, and come together like cogs that fit perfectly. Then, with the major shift in the demographics of the workforce, the recipe for corporate success has now changed to include elements that were not considered pertinent before – such as employee wellbeing, work-life balance, fun at the workplace, etc. As is the asking of the right questions, the ones that matter and are applicable in the current context – How do you keep a young, dynamic workforce inspired, creatively challenged, and motivated at the workplace?

When Architecture Discipline started out to remodel an office space for e-commerce logistics giant Delhivery, they gravitated towards an edgy, young yet sophisticated space that is functional and fun at the same time. The office also had to have the same design DNA as the client’s other office in Delhi, given that both offices together represent Delhivery’s design and visual identity. The task was a welcome challenge for Architecture Discipline as it marked their arrival on to the medium-to-large-sized projects space, a far cry from their usual low-density projects on a smaller scale.
