Geological location
The MGB Headquarters is located in
Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The region
is situated on the Deccan Plateau,
characterized by rocky terrain and a
tropical climate. Hyderabad’s
geography consists of hard granite
outcrops and undulating terrain, which
influences architectural design and
construction.In Hyderabad’s dry, hot
climate, the vast majority of office-
goers are resigned to spend their entire
day within the confines of air-
conditioned space with very little
access to fresh air from the outdoors.
Hyderabad--a once laid-back town-- is
now a competitive cosmopolitan city,
attracting many big-tech companies,
Introduction
MGB Headquarters, designed by
Spacefiction Studio, stands as a
testament to innovative and
sustainable architecture. The
project balances functionality with
aesthetics, creating a workspace
that responds to its environmental
context. The headquarters serves
as the administrative building for
MGB, incorporating modern office
spaces, collaborative zones, and
recreational areas.
Concept
Spacefiction Studio aimed to minimize
environmental impact by utilizing locally sourced
materials and employing passive design
strategies. The design concept revolves around
creating a dynamic workspace that fosters
creativity and interaction while addressing
environmental challenges. The architecture
draws inspiration from traditional Indian design
principles, incorporating passive cooling
strategies, open-plan layouts, and seamless
indoor-outdoor integration.
Key design objectives include:
1.Maximizing natural light and ventilation.
2.Minimizing the building's ecological footprint.
3.Creating an inclusive and adaptable space for
diverse work scenarios.
4. The building’s layout emphasizes open
spaces, natural ventilation, and abundant
daylight, ensuring a healthy and vibrant
workspace.
Climate Analysis
Hyderabad experiences a hot and dry
climate, with high temperatures in
summer and moderate winters. Key
climatic considerations for the design
included:

Solar Orientation: The building was


oriented to minimize heat gain while
maximizing daylight.

Ventilation: Cross-ventilation strategies


were implemented to reduce reliance on
mechanical cooling.

Shading: Overhangs, louvers, and


vegetation were used to mitigate solar
radiation.

Rainfall: The monsoon season required


efficient rainwater management
Site Plan
The floor plan reflects the ethos of
openness and collaboration:

Ground Floor: Includes a reception area,


waiting lounge, meeting rooms, and a
cafeteria. Open courtyards enhance
connectivity and ventilation.

Upper Floors: Host workstations, private


offices, and breakout spaces. The design
ensures flexibility and adaptability to
changing needs.

Terrace: Features green roofs and


recreational areas, providing a relaxing
space for employees.
Sectional Elevation
Showcases the interplay between solid and void spaces.
Highlights passive cooling features like shaded windows, double-height spaces, and
strategically placed courtyards.
Structural clarity with visible use of materials like steel and exposed concrete.
Vertical green walls add visual appeal and improve indoor air quality.

project minimizes its environmental footprint while creating a dynamic and

user-centric workspace. The MGB headquarters transcends the most common

approaches to deal with Hyderabad's heat, and offers a method for passive

cooling that benefits its occupants and as importantly, challenges the typical

glass box typology of the office building. The thoughtful use of materials and

the emphasis on natural elements make it a benchmark for contemporary

architectural practices. This headquarters not only meets the operational

needs of its occupants but also promotes a healthier and more collaborative

work environment.
