Mumbai-based architect Sanjay Puri reveals his latest workspace offering, The Courtyard Office in Raipur, India
Drawing on the vernacular forms of the region’s courtyard house typology, The Courtyard Office is a new piece ofsprawled across a generous site in Raipur, India. The design, created by Mumbai-based architect Sanjay Puri and his team, seeks to balance tradition and modernity, the feeling of old and new.
Its distinct floorplan defines this building’s character. ‘A linear office space twists organically in plan, creating a large landscaped courtyard within it,’ the architect explains. The layout, and each part’s orientation and openings help define the internal experience as well as support the building’s sustainable goals, in terms of natural, shading and thermal control, and ventilation.
Those parts that lift off the ground create a visual landmark for the area, while flagging up a special use inside – functions that are beyond the meeting room and desk spaces found elsewhere in the building. ‘The north-east and north-west corners of the building are also lifted, creating singular large volumes at both ends to allow visual contact between floors, where a cafeteria and a library are housed,’ say the architects.
Award-winning studio Sanjay Puri Architects is based in Mumbai but works internationally, with projects spanning Australia, Spain, Montenegro, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Oman, and Dallas, in addition to some 40 Indian cities. Innovation and sustainability are at the top of the dynamic studio’s agenda, tackled through many typologies, from commercial to leisure and residential. Offices are also a big part of the practice’s remit, making The Courtyard Office a key addition to its growing portfolio.
