We integrated the company's own steel products directly into the office interiors—using stainless steel for structural elements, partitions, and staircases—to celebrate the raw material alongside the finished output. This design strategy transforms a standard corporate workspace into a tangible reflection of the industrial operations happening on-site. ### Architectural Strategy and Climate Response Designing for Ahmedabad requires a specific response to the climate, as temperatures often exceed 45 degrees Celsius. Our approach for the Laxcon Steel Plant Office focuses on thermal mass and strategic shading. The facade is expressed as strong concrete expanses, utilizing a brutalist flavour that provides substantial thermal protection. We alleviated the heaviness of the concrete with a ribbed texture and integrated linear lighting, which mimics the motion streaks of vehicles passing the site at high speed. ### Spatial Volumes and Porosity The internal planning is defined by the orchestration of single, double, and triple-height adjacencies. These volumes create visual porosity, allowing the workforce to remain connected across different departments despite the scale of the building. Glass bridges and extensive glazing ensure natural light penetrates deep into the atrium, reducing reliance on artificial lighting while maintaining a connection to the exterior environment. ### Materiality and Recognition Beyond the concrete shell, the interior palette remains minimalist. We utilized oak paneling to soften the industrial nature of the materials. By incorporating the client's own scrap steel and finished stainless products into the design, we have created an environment that feels authentic to the business. This project was recognized as a Gold Winner at the 2023 IDA Design Awards, a testament to our commitment to creating industrial spaces that prioritize both functionality and visual impact. ## About Urbanscape Architects We are Urbanscape Architects, established in 2008 by Dinesh Panwar.
