the office of a city-based construction company skyline office building designed by studio FLXBL is a 370 square meters of space that was given a conspicuous corporate shape and form quite unconventional for an industrial area in ahmedabad, india. the red shape resembles an origami model levitating over a garden area on slender steel girders that give the building an industrial aesthetic.

the faceted planes are carried forward in the landscaped areas tying them with the floating mass above that draws one’s attention when seen from the highway. the organic form is carried through the interior spaces giving it a dynamism that extends outwards to the horizon through the panoramic glass walls on three sides.

to maintain the corporate character of the space, FLXBL has engulfed the building by glass walls running from roof to bottom on the three sides allowing ample natural light inside and a view of the outside to the work, meeting, and casual areas of the office. the large glass walls offer sweeping views of the highway and surroundings giving one the sense of watching a silent movie from within an avant-garde sculpture.
