The brief

The office needed to follow BCG's global design standards for safety, ergonomics and acoustics, while reflecting Kolkata and making the most of an exceptional view.

Design response

Primary circulation, lounges and collaboration areas run along the curtain wall, drawing daylight deep into the floor and framing the Maidan, the Victoria Memorial and The 42. Regional materials and vernacular details, such as cane and louvred jhilmil cabinetry, sit within BCG's global design vocabulary.

Open, agile zones are balanced with acoustically treated rooms for confidential work. The office uses an automated lighting management system that responds to daylight and was designed to comply with the National Building Code.

A landmark setting

The Emprador faces the Chowringhee Maidan. The plan keeps the curtain wall clear so that views of the Maidan's greens, the Victoria Memorial and The 42 reach as far into the floor as possible.
