"The project was built as a working studio and client lounge, and also as a chance to build the way they believe buildings should be built - with local materials, passive environmental strategies, and construction techniques rooted in the region's traditions."
"The concept behind the project is the Convergence of Culture and Nature. Rather than imposing a design, the building draws from its context - the climate, the site, and the materials available in the region."
"The site includes a planted garden of native species, a pool, and a generous outdoor area. The building sits snugged in the landscape rather than on top of it."
The Innovation Lab is a satellite office in Chennai designed as a working studio and client lounge. The project aims to build in a way that reflects local materials, passive environmental strategies, and construction techniques rooted in regional traditions. The concept is the Convergence of Culture and Nature, using climate, site conditions, and available materials rather than imposing a design. The site includes a planted garden of native species, a pool, and generous outdoor space. The building is positioned snugly within the landscape instead of sitting on top of it.
