A 10,000 sq ft commercial compound — two basements, seven floors and the entry court — planned so one floor serves the owner, six earn rent, and the ground floor earns on its own.
Arihant asked us to design a whole commercial compound: 10,000 sq ft across two basements, seven floors and the compound entry. One floor is the owner's own office. The other six are let out, so we planned them to flex with each tenant's needs and the owner's budget, and specified materials by what the business needs to earn back — return on investment, not just looks. Then we gave the compound a ground floor that makes money and makes the place feel alive: a reception, a cafeteria and a gym inside, a food kiosk and outdoor seating in the court.
Arihant needed a complete commercial compound designed: 10,000 sq ft over two basements and seven floors, plus the compound entry, with their own office on one floor and the rest to be let.
Six of the seven floors had no tenant yet, so they could not be designed for anyone in particular — but they still had to be ready to let, within the owner's budget, and the whole compound had to earn more than rent alone.
We treated the compound as a business plan: a fully designed owner's floor, flexible tenant floors that fit out to each tenant's need, materials specified by return on investment, and a ground floor planned as a revenue scheme in its own right.
An open owner's floor with workstations under green acoustic baffles, a boardroom and a director's cabin; tenant floors kept simple and quick to fit out; and a ground floor with reception, a cafeteria and a gym, with a food kiosk and outdoor seating in the court.
We delivered the compound plan, the owner's-floor interiors and the material specifications for every level, giving Arihant a basis to fit out floors as tenants sign.
A compound that works as a business: an owner's office with a character of its own, six floors ready to let on the owner's terms, and a ground floor and court that add revenue and give the place a lively corporate life.
