Located in the alienating context of NOIDA, the design for corporate office of India Glycols, by Morphogenesis, deals with a workspace as a social activity taking into consideration the behavioural issues related to workspaces.

Like all corporate designs, the design for the India Glycols office takes into consideration the corporate identity of the organisation to derive an architectural language for the place.The idea of an open-office system with transparency of a non-hierarchical workspace creates a less formal but an organised work culture. The building contains a variety of spaces in various hierarchies of openness and privacy forming verandas, terraces, courtyards and OTS spaces within the formal organisation of the building.

The maximum surface area of the building is very sensitively fenestrated with slit-openings on the outer skin and large, permeating openings towards the internal open spaces maximising on the natural and reflected light while avoiding the harsh sun. The eight meter wide office bays of the building capitalise on the natural light reducing the electrical consumption. Through a gridiron stacking system, passive climatic control techniques are brought to use. The air-cavity construction of the building increases the thermal time-lag acting as an insulating layer to the building.

The overall aesthetic language of the building is relevant to the modern work culture. Modern and minimal language of the design complements the open and transparent office system. The architecture of India Glycols identifies with the work ethic of the firm and aligns with the personality of the company with no compromise on the fundamental architectural paradigms. As Morphogenesis puts it, ‘The work place should manifest itself as a more flexible and integral part of an employee’s life rather than a separate entity of specified hours of confinement.’
