Located in Halol, the industrial hub of Gujarat, the Polycab Experience Centre, designed by architect Sriram Ramakrishnan of FHD India, aims to bring together 3 primary programs – a corporate office, experience centre, and an auditorium under one sustainable roof. Polycab is one of India’s largest cable manufacturers. The geometry of the building intends to protect the existing trees on site. The auditorium floats above an atrium, connecting the office zone and experience centre, while the atrium connects to the factory behind.
The double block configuration self-shades the central landscape court, while the conference room as a bridge connects the two blocks across the court. The Basement G+ 3 storey office block houses the employees and amenities. The experience centre houses a museum of the company’s exhibits and conference facilities. The auditorium is accessible from both spaces.
A 15m cantilever gate marks the arrival from the main road. The drop-off is at the shaded atrium, from where the user can enter either the office or the experience centre. The atrium expresses curvilinear intersecting beams at the ceiling. The office has a triple height naturally lit entry lobby.
