Apollo House
Climate: Composite
Built-Up Area: 96,800 Sq Ft
The corporate headquarters of the Apollo Tyres Group is an instrument to address issues that are central to the rapidly evolving Indian workplace. The approach was to ensure that the project sits within the conceptual, functional and aesthetic framework of a Contemporary Corporate Design Agenda. The notion of a mini-urban centre was conceived conceptually, which would have a texture and fabric similar to that of the older cities such as Jaipur or Shajahanabad. Devoid of any context, a fragmented morphology was hence developed, which helped to generate the conceptual intent of the office campus being a ‘micro city’. The design of the Apollo Tyres Corporate Office takes into consideration the importance and relevance of energy conscious design within the modern work culture.
