This project redefines the conventional commercial building by transforming structure into expression. Located within a dense retail fabric known for furniture showrooms, the design draws direct inspiration from the logic of furniture joinery, translating it into an architectural system. Precision-engineered metal frames act as both structural support and visual language, elevating the upper mass to create a striking “floating” effect along the street edge.
The building is organised across four levels, with a basement for services and parking, and flexible showroom and commercial spaces above. A double-height glazed frontage enhances visibility and blurs the boundary between interior and street, allowing the building to function as a display object within the urban context.
Materially, the project combines brick, steel, and glass to balance weight and lightness. Brick cladding grounds the building within Bengaluru’s architectural lineage, while exposed metal joinery articulates structure as design. The result is a crafted, expressive commercial space where construction, material, and form are inseparable.
