Nestled
along the bustling SAS Nagar Mohali Punjab, this research laboratory
interweaves art within the concept of the building derived using cubist
geometry, a methodology being practiced by the SD Sharma Architects. The
building form reflects the graphical geometry in the plan, with a 6 meter fire
tender road circling the site. Considering the north, the building faces north
west and south east, which is best according to this climate, and all the
working areas are located in these directions. Visitors entering the laboratory
are greeted by an eye-catching space that boasts multiple facilities, such as
reception, a display of levels, core, sitting lounges, waiting areas and a
variety of signage. In terms of materials, the building is framed with terracotta
tiles and other flooring materials including granite, vitrified tiles and
ceramic tiles.
The
design places a great emphasis on the services as the backbone of the
laboratory being arranged, protected, arranged and assembled in the corridors,
while the laboratories have light from two sides at the very least. Equipments,
cylinders, backup machinery and paraphernalia are kept in these corridors,
which are easily accessible and maintainable. Architects have done this in
order to free up the basement, which would otherwise be jam-packed with
machines.
Besides
carrying services, corridors are also a place to tap wet services. Every room
has a different view. The lobby is further replete with two lifts and a simple
staircase. There is an equal convenience for the client with the fire stairs
because as are wide and have comfortable risers. The fire escapes, which are
mandatory, are on both sides and the rescue area is also adequately provided.
The working areas are not
restricted with the provision of this corridor with the calculated sections
where light filters through the glazing under each corridor. The maintenance
and management of services is independent and does not interfere with the clean
and sterile environment inside.
