Consolidating a workforce of 6,500 employees from various city locations into a single, centralized building for the first time, the new Booking.com City Campus in Amsterdam redefines the contemporary IT work environment.

Designed by @we.are.uns under the leadership of Ar. @ben_van_berkel , the architectural team collaborated with Bouwfonds Property Development (BPD) to create an exceptionally healthy and sustainable urban development. To ensure a cohesive spatial experience across the vast footprint, lead interior architect Ar. HofmanDujardin orchestrated a comprehensive interior fit-out master plan. Shaped by detailed employee feedback regarding post-pandemic working habits, the highly flexible campus successfully harmonizes the efforts of multiple interior area designers including CBRE Design Collective, i29 Interior Architects, and Studio Modijefsky into a unified, people-centric headquarters.

Prioritizing spatial flexibility, adaptability, and energy efficiency, the Bhartiya Centre of Information Technology (BCIT) in Bengaluru is a dynamic IT campus designed for the modern Indian workforce.

Designed by @edifice_consultants , under the leadership of Ar. Manoj Choudhury and Ar. Mahesh Thakur, the expansive 25-acre project sits within the larger Bhartiya City master plan, seamlessly integrating the collaborative workspace with a mixed-use urban development.

To create a truly people-centric environment, the architectural team transformed mandatory open space into a lush five-acre central park, beautifully realizing the concept of ‘an office in the park’. Furthermore, the site’s natural slope was cleverly utilized to allow partial natural ventilation in the basement, significantly reducing energy consumption.

Moving away from the conventional office block, Agastya Corporate Park in Mumbai redefines the modern commercial campus. Spearheaded by @ssa.architects (led by Ar. @sandeepshikre ), with design by CallisonRTKL and interiors by Space Matrix, Cormac Lynch, and Piramal Realty, this expansive 16.25-acre development fosters an open, outdoor-oriented environment.

Fulfilling Piramal Realty’s vision for a workspace where organizations can truly thrive, the project beautifully integrates 50,000 sq. ft. of landscaped greenery alongside 1.9 million sq. ft. of premium leasable space. It is a masterful example of balancing gold-standard design with a profound connection to the outdoors.

Responding to the evolving demands of the modern work-from-home culture, "A Cabinet of Curiosities" is a bespoke, multifaceted piece crafted by @adammarkowitzdesign for an apartment in East Melbourne.

The clients, who are avid collectors, needed a functional intervention that could display their treasures, serve as a closable workstation for better work/life separation, and gracefully screen a newly built neighboring tower.

The design elegantly achieves these goals without completely blocking the natural light from the window beyond. The result is a highly dynamic piece featuring tambour doors that seamlessly slide away, allowing the cabinet to shift rapidly from a solid, barrier-like structure to a porous, light-permeable object.

Integrating traditional courtyard planning into a modern, high-impact environment, the 16,000 sq. ft. R-Homes Experience Centre in Ghaziabad serves as both a dynamic workspace and an immersive design display. Designed by @confluence.architects under the leadership of founders @ar.vineeta_singhania and Ar. Vishal Sharma, the project masterfully balances openness and privacy within a dense urban plot.

An open-to-sky courtyard acts as the heart of the space, drawing in natural light and cross-ventilation around a serene Champa tree and Lotus pond. Enhanced by lighting design from Lightbox, the gentle interplay of curated art, water bodies, and shadow culminates in a breathtaking 7.5-meter-high lobby.

Forging a profound dialogue between Italian furniture and traditional Indian architectural language, the Soulstory Experience Centre in Kolkata completely redefines the retail environment. Designed by @abindesign_studio under the leadership of Principal Architect Ar. Abin Chaudhuri, the space steps away from conventional showroom displays.

Rather than simply viewing products, visitors are invited to experience the furniture through a carefully curated atmosphere of material, light, and fluid spatial movement. Supported by a design team including Paromita Chatterjee, Svasti Agrawal, and Sudip Sharma, the project beautifully responds to the rich cultural context of Kolkata, offering a deeply immersive, sensory journey.

Rejecting the sterile, plastic-heavy aesthetic often associated with modern tech retail, the Ezhomz Experience Centre in New Delhi houses high-end home automation within raw, recycled brick structures. Designed by @we.arquite under the leadership of co-founders Ar. Kapil Razdan and Ar. Seema Pandey, the 3,500 sq. ft. space is guided by the intriguing principle of 'Kinetic Invisibility.'

Rather than leaning into aggressive consumerist design, the architecture embraces the concept of 'calm technology.' By beautifully contrasting ancestral masonry in brick and stone against the complexity of the digital age, the space proves that future intelligence can be seamlessly integrated into warm, grounded environments.

Housed within a beautifully dense tree cover, the Birla Taranya Experience Center by @modezarch is a 14,000 sq. ft. masterclass in site sensitive architecture. Led by architects Amogh Sule, Pritish Ghamandi, and Preshita Chaudhari, the space spans five interconnected blocks woven together by pocket courtyards that invite air, light, and greenery indoors.

Responding to the client's vision for a grand yet welcoming environment, the design team turned the site's primary challenge its unusually thick vegetation into its greatest asset. A cluster based strategy breaks the built form into smaller volumes carefully positioned around the existing trees, creating a seamless blend of built space and natural landscape.

Mumbai-based @pentaspacedesignstudio has designed Avyaana, an experience centre deeply rooted in the Wabi-sabi philosophy. Led by architects Gaurav Sanghavi, Harsh Pote, and partner Tanmay Mukherjee, the space evokes profound simplicity, thoughtfully embracing imperfection, transience, and restraint.

Enclosed on three sides by taller structures that limit peripheral light, the interior relies on the passage of time as a crucial design element. As the space naturally evolves with shifting light, shadow, and human presence, Avyaana steps away from traditional visual spectacle to offer an environment that is highly welcoming and reflective.

Nilambur and Kovalam-based @clay_hands_pottery founded by third-generation terracotta artist Sivaprakash, has created the Kaliman Kolambi—a zero-electricity, eco-friendly acoustic smartphone amplifier crafted entirely from baked clay.

Inspired by traditional Kerala percussion instruments such as the Idakka and Maddalam, Sivaprakash developed his first clay amplifier in 2019. The ingenious design utilizes natural acoustic physics to produce deep, warm audio directly from a phone, elegantly eliminating the need for wires, Bluetooth devices, or batteries.
