ARCHITECTS - group DCA

YEAR - 2018

The Communique Marketing Solutions

Office, Gurugram, India, creates a modern
and egalitarian workspace in an effort to
foster creativity, collaboration, and
conversation. Its spatial planning emerges as
a direct result of this intent: where, an open-
plan office format is chosen that is symbolic
of transparency. The office is housed in a
three-storeyed building that crafts a
distinctive identity for itself within its
immediate urban context. The architectural
vocabulary is unmistakably brutalist: the
facades are an expanse of exposed concrete
punctuated by the measured use of corten
steel.
 FIRST FLOOR PLAN

On the ground floor, a short porch leads the visitors to the entrance foyer.

The upper floors house the workspaces within a seamless two-floor

volume, accommodating a diverse mix of functions.

In order to optimize penetration of glare-free daylight into this volume, its

northern and southern edges are designed to be porous; the fenestration
scheme was arrived at through a metric-based daylight analysis.

To reduce the ingress of heat into the building, the western edge – which
forms its primary façade – is completely blocked with a massive wall and an
added layer of insulation.

The highlight of the volume is a mezzanine conference room that floats

above an amphitheater-style, multipurpose event area.

The third floor is conceived as a large unified space; the Wellness Centre
stands centrally in the floor-plate, opening to wide terraces on both sides.

This provides an uninterrupted space that can host a multitude of

communal events such as yoga and prayer meetings, and parties.
SECOND FLOOR FLOOR PLAN
 DESIGN STRATEGY
The larger design strategy – biophilia – endeavors to enhance human engagement with
nature in order to craft working spaces that promote happiness, good health, and well-
being.

Large windows, lined with planters, are designed along the northern and southern
edges of the floor-plates; they open to beautiful views of the surrounding greens,
while their careful placement and sizing ensures adequate daylight ingress.

In addition, vertical green walls run along the entire two-floor length of the volume
along its eastern and western edges.

This strategy ties in with the

WHY NATURAL LIGHT IS IMPORTANT IN A BUILDING AND HOW
IT BENEFITS THE EMPLOYEE?

AND HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF NATURAL LIGHT IN A

BUILDING?
Natural light is a powerful architectural tool. As the importance of sustainable design grows, passive strategies like
daylighting have become critical in reducing the impact of the built environment. Additionally, research in the last decade
has shown daylighting to have significant health and wellness benefits for users.

What is passive daylighting?

Passive daylighting strategies promote the quantity and even distribution of daylight throughout a building by collecting
natural light and reflecting itt into darker areas of the building. What makes this a “passive” strategy is that the design
elements do not require any special mechanical equipment or energy sources. As soon as the sun rises, the passive
daylighting strategies collect and reflect light throughout the building.

Use windows, skylights, clear doors, light tubes, mirrors, light shelves and other reflective surfaces to collect and direct
light to key areas in the room.
There are also a number of health and wellness benefits when
you allow more natural light into your building. Exposure to
natural light improves:

•Mood
•Student performance and learning
•Employee and visitors satisfaction
•Healing (especially in hospital environments)
•Productivity
•Cognitive function

Passive Daylighting Strategies

•Building orientation.
•Windows.
•Skylights.
•Clerestories.
•External Shading Systems.
•Light shelves.
•Solar tubes.
•Light wall colors.
•Building orientation.

Light direction is important. Light that comes from the south is

usually best for daylighting as sunlight is consistent throughout
the day and year.

This orientation can also be used for solar heat gain. Light that
comes from the north is the next best, as the sunlight is as
consistent as the south, just in a lower quantity.

Light that comes from the east and west should be avoided if
possible. Sunlight at these orientations is harsh, it only occurs
during half the day, and the height of the sun changes
throughout the year, making sunlight harder to control.

Architects design buildings so that the rooms that require the

most daylight (like front entrances) face north or south, while
rooms that require less daylight (like storage rooms) face east
or west.
 •Windows.

• To bring as much light into the building as possible, should

use windows with tall head heights.

• Can also use uniform windows (horizontal ribbon windows)

across the entire façade to light the space evenly.

• The bilateral window placement–windows facing each other

from opposite or adjacent sides–to light the entrance from
every angle.

•Skylights.

•Skylights allow daylight to enter from above, which is useful in

spaces at the center of the building where light from windows
can’t reach.

• As with windows, uniform skylight spacing results in uniform

lighting. can also place skylights high above the floor, allowing
the light to diffuse before it reaches the ground.
•Clerestories.

•Windows that are high above eye level, or clerestories, can

light up an entire room.

•Usually combine clerestories with a reflective roof material or

paint. The light enters through the clerestories and reflects off
the roof, spreading very diffuse light around the room below.

•External Shading Systems.

•At certain times of the day at each orientation, the light will be
too bright and may produce a strong glare inside the building.

To prevent this, designing custom external shading systems to

protect windows and other transparent openings.

These systems usually include a combination of horizontal and

vertical elements, but vary depending on the geographical
location, climate, and building orientation.
•Light shelves. A reflective horizontal shelf placed above
windows reduces glare and directs light deeper into the space.

•Solar tubes. These channel sunlight from the roof through a

narrow opening. During the day, they look like ordinary ceiling
lamps, but they are powered by the sun rather than electricity.
These work well when placed directly above desks, where
people need plenty of light.

•Light wall colors. Light, reflective paint helps light to bounce

around the room and makes the space feel brighter.
IMPACTS OF POOR LIGHTING IN
A BUILDING:
Poor lighting often gets overlooked in the workplace, as we talk
about mental health and well-being, and the focus is firmly on
creating happier and healthier.

But bad lighting is associated with a range of ill-health effects,

both physical and mental, such as eye strain, headaches,
fatigue and also stress and anxiety in more high-pressured
work environments.

As we spend much of the day in artificial lighting, there is evidence that the lack of natural sunlight has an adverse effect on
the body and the mind, and can result in conditions such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

As we navigate the darkest (and shortest days) of the year, 40% of office workers are struggling to work in poor
lighting every day.

This has a negative effect on their productivity and wellbeing - according to a new research report, looking at the
impact of lighting in the workplace.
On a online survey 80% of office workers, said that having
good lighting in their workspace is important to them.

(40%) are having to deal with uncomfortable lighting

every day. A third (32%) said better lighting would make
them happier at work.

However, when access to natural sunlight is so limited in

the winter, many are feeling stressed and suffering from
seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and often spend long
hours at their desks which is sometimes their only access
to light during the day.

The results have also shown that 25% of the surveyed are
frustrated at having to deal with poor lighting in their
workplaces.
Health and Productivity Benefits of Natural Light in Office
Spaces

Reduced eye strain.

Fewer reports of headaches.
Improved mood.
Less drowsiness.
Fewer mistakes.

Benefits of daylight in the workplace:

•Reduces stress and tiredness and increases productivity and

alertness
•Natural light provides variety and stimulation during the day
•Higher satisfaction with a daylit environment equals better
work attitude and output
•Staff can see better for computer work, component assembly
etc.
•Lower absenteeism
•Saves on energy bills
