Discipline
Vastu-led Planning
01 — Concept
A civic interior, drawn with restraint.
The brief asked for a workplace that performs as both institution and instrument — dignified for the public who enter it, efficient for the people who work in it.
Across five floors, the plan is organised by a Vastu-led quadrant logic — leadership, executive cabins, workspaces and public lobbies anchored in clearly defined zones, stitched together by a generous central spine. Material restraint, daylight discipline and proportion do the work that ornament might have done elsewhere.
02 — Concept Sketches
From hand to plan.
Every project begins on paper. These ink-and-graphite studies were the first instrument used to resolve scale, sightlines and the rhythm of public to private space.
03 — Planning Strategy
Zoning that organises by orientation.
A four-quadrant Vastu diagram set the rules of the plan. Leadership and decision-making were anchored to the heaviest zone; collaboration and circulation were opened to the lighter ones.
Zoning Concept · Vastu Compass
Vastu-Led Zoning
A quadrant logic anchors leadership to the south-west, executive functions to the south-east, and collaborative workspaces to the north-east — clarity, hierarchy and harmony in plan.
Workspace Planning
Open workstation grids on 2,100 mm passages, glass-fronted cabins along the perimeter, and a central seminar hall — calibrated for daylight, acoustic separation and dignified circulation.
Material Hierarchy
Travertine and Grey Williams stone at public surfaces, aluminium baffle ceilings in timber finish overhead, ivory glass partitions for privacy without darkness — a single, restrained palette.
The Atrium
A sculptural stair that draws the building together.
A fluted-timber rotunda wraps the central stair, washed by warm linear light. A stainless-steel infinity sculpture grounds the lobby — civic gravitas held by a single, considered gesture.
04 — Floor Plan
Reading the plan.
A 78.8 m × 37.8 m floor plate organised by quadrant. Switch between the zoning overlay and the detailed working plan.
05 — Material Palette
Four materials, one civic voice.
Travertine marble for public floors. Grey Williams tile for transitional zones. Aluminium baffle ceilings in a powder-coated timber finish, paired with a slim linear LED profile. Ivory glass for partitions — privacy without weight.

06 — Technical Coordination
Drawings, details and decisions.
As Lead Interior Architect, my role spanned design development through construction documentation — coordinating drawings across five floors with structural, MEP, AV and acoustics consultants.
