NDDS is a company manufacturing various kinds of commercial furniture. They needed a new building to house a furniture experience center - and this center needed an eye catching façade to draw in people from the adjoining highway.
The challenge here was to create an front attractive front façade in a very limited budget. The cost saving approach here was to identify an essential element of the building and display it on the front façade in a stylized manner.
Hence, the staircase was planned externally curving around the front of the building. The design, branding, lighting etc. of this staircase was planned to be as eye-catchy as possible.

1. Site division and interior planning
Functional requirements were initially catered too.
Planning ensured a clean, flat front facade facing the highway.
1. Planning the larger mass facing the highway
The first floor was planned with greater height on the right hand side so as to give better visibility from the highway.
3. Enternal staircase planned around front mass
The staircase was planned to start from the rear of the site and wrap around the taller front portion of the plan.
This created an interesting form which could then be developed further.
4. Developing the facade from eye level
Focus was given to the view visible from the highway at human eye level.
The choice of materials, lighting, colours etc were all based on this viewpoint.
Various options were initially proposed :
Option with rammed earth façade and vegetation
