Stonex India’s administrative and industrial complex has been conceptualized to serve as an eminent landmark in Kishangarh which is developed as a native production-house, geared for excellence and innovation of the global order, while successfully carving out a niche of its own amidst the industrial landscape.
The design of the building revolves around the concept of mutually respecting the surroundings and nature. The orientation and design of the building facilitate climate responsiveness. The hot and dry climate of Rajasthan is combated by the partly sunk mass, staying cool during summers and warm during winters.
This is achieved by the natural phenomena of Earth Berming and Earth Coupling. The temperatures indoors are regulated with the help of radiant cooling, allowing for a 60% efficiency in the running cost of the building. Also, this has led to HVAC load cutting by almost 40%.
The façade is enveloped in a stone screen that is fabricated using the waste stone from a nearby quarry and the stone wastage that is generated on site. This screen provides solar shading from the south-east and west glare.
The spaces are used judiciously, allowing for maximum possible green cover and softscaping. The design in entirety stands as a testament to the ethos of Stonex – strength and perfection, through their state-of-the-art products and technology while adhering to the brand’s humble and rooted approach towards its processes, conceived as an unassuming and environmentally perceptive complex.
