THE PROJECT "OFFICE COMPLEX FOR PBI INDIA" CONSISTS OF A FIVE-LEVEL BUILDING FOR THE OFFICES OF A FACTORY LOCATED IN JAMMU, INDIA.
THE FIRST LEVEL IS A STORAGE AREA; THE SECOND LEVEL IS FOR RECEPTION, WHERE IS LOCATED A CAFETERIA, NURSING, AND A SPACE THAT CAN BE USED FOR OFFICES; ON THE THIRD LEVEL, 30 SPACES FOR OFFICE STAFF ARE LOCATED IN A SECTOR, DELIMITED BY MID-HEIGHT DIVISIONS, ALSO AN OPEN SPACE THAT CAN BE USED FOR OFFICES, A MEETING ROOM, A CAFETERIA, AND BATHROOMS FOR WOMEN AND MEN. ON THE FOURTH LEVEL ARE LOCATED FOUR OFFICES FOR THE DIRECTORS, A SPACE FOR THEIR SECRETARIES AND THE WAITING ROOMS, A MEETING ROOM, AND AN AREA FOR CAFETERIA; AND ON THE LAST AND FIFTH LEVEL IS LOCATED AN APARTMENT FOR GUESTS WHICH CONSISTS OF A LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM, KITCHEN, TWO BEDROOMS WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE BATHROOMS. THE REST OF THE AREA ON THIS LAST LEVEL HAS A TERRACE AND AN OPEN SPACE AS A GARDEN.
ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING IS LOCATED A TWO-LEVEL CONSTRUCTION; ON THE FIRST LEVEL IS LOCATED THE PARKING AREA AND ON THE SECOND LEVEL A TERRACE WITH GARDENS.
IN THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING, IT WAS ENCOURAGED THAT ALL THE SPACES HAVE NATURAL LIGHTING, AND TO ACHIEVE THIS, A CURTAIN WALL WAS DESIGNED IN THE MAIN FACADE, AND OVER THE RECEPTION AREA A VERTICAL CUBE OF THREE FLOORS WITH A SKYLIGHT ON THE UPPER PART WAS DESIGNED.
ALSO IN THE DESIGN IT WAS ENCOURAGED THAT MOST OF THE SPACES HAVE CONTACT WITH NATURE, SO GARDENS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN IN THE FACADE OF ALL LEVELS, AND IN THE INTERIORS ARTIFICIAL VERTICAL GARDENS WERE DESIGNED.
AND AS A REST AREA IN THE TERRACE-GARDEN, GARDENERS WERE INCORPORATED THAT CAN SERVE AS SEATS, AND TWO FOUNTAINS WERE PROJECTED, TO HAVE MORE CONTACT WITH NATURAL ELEMENTS.
