Spanning over 384,000 square feet across four floors, Amazon’s workplace reimagines the large-format corporate office as a network of interconnected neighbourhoods that balance focus, collaboration, and social interaction. The design translates Amazon’s global workplace culture into a spatial experience informed by the patterns, landscapes, and collective urbanism of North India.
The planning framework draws inspiration from the historic Char-Bagh garden typology and its evolution across the NCR region. Its defining qualities, strong axial connections, layered thresholds, and intimate social spaces, are reinterpreted as a contemporary workplace strategy that privileges movement, encounter, and choice. Rather than operating as a singular office floor, the workplace unfolds as a series of interconnected neighbourhoods organised around meeting spaces, social hubs, focus zones, and breakout environments, creating a rhythm of collective and individual work across the campus.
This spatial framework is reinforced through a hospitality-inspired approach to workplace experience. Cafés, pantries, touchdown spaces, and collaborative lounges are positioned as social anchors distributed throughout the floorplate, encouraging interaction and informal exchange. Workstations line the glazed perimeter to maximise daylight, views, and comfort, while carefully calibrated circulation networks support intuitive movement across large floor plates and connect diverse modes of working.
Each floor is shaped by a distinct ecological theme, Ocean, Dunes, Valley, and Mountain, translating characteristics of natural landscapes into immersive material palettes and spatial identities. Together, these environments create a layered workplace experience that balances coherence with variety. The result is an office that draws from the enduring spatial logic of the Char-Bagh to foster connection, adaptability, and community, reinterpreting a historic landscape tradition for a contemporary culture of work.
