Total Environment
 
 
 
 

Webb India is associated with the manufacture of assembly lines for automobiles. The office space and workshops have been designed and executed by Shibanee & Kamal Architects and Total Environment.

The office space is designed around an airy courtyard. The external facade is a combination of natural wire cut bricks and granite butch work. A central panel has vertical glass fins as a detail (these have been accurately cut with the help of sophisticated software). Wooden Louvres also form part of the external detail.

The courtyard has vertical glass fins on one side and a skylight above. Chains suspended from the ceiling carry plants. The workshops situated behind the office, house the manufacturing unit for the conveyor systems. Each workshop bay has a skylight, which lets in light and provides ventilation. Earth beams provided against the workshop building diminish the perception of height and reduce noise. The areas between both the buildings are covered with pergolas. The spaces are full of interesting details like a yellow wall that accentuates the glass railing on the first floor.

The campus is designed with meeting rooms, server room, structural / electrical /mechanical engineering rooms, training and class rooms, store
and rest rooms and a waste water treatment facility.

This project has won the Commendation Trophy and Citation for "The Institutional Architecture Award", A+D and Spectrum Foundation Architecture Awards 2002. It also received a special mention for "The young enthused architect award".
