A Gold-winning workplace design that integrates industrial materiality with climate-responsive architecture, creating a refined, functional office in Ahmedabad.

Our design for the Laxcon Steel Plant Office received a Gold Winner prize at the IDA Design Awards for Workplace Architecture. The project integrates the company's own steel into the design, from structural elements to fine details.

We are honored to receive an Honorable Mention from the Architecture & Design Community for the Laxcon Steel Plant Office, recognizing its contribution to office building architecture.

About Award-Winning Industrial Architecture: The Laxcon Steel Plant

Instead of masking the building's industrial purpose, we integrated the client's core output directly into the infrastructure. The reception area features a suspended screen of vertical steel elements, while the staircase and office partitions are fabricated from the plant’s own material and industrial scrap. This approach turns the manufacturing process into the office's primary aesthetic, creating a workspace that is intellectually coherent and deeply personal to the brand.
