An office building for environment administration at Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, low and courtyarded, in red sandstone tones behind a planted forecourt.

About the project

Paryavaran Bhawan, the environment building at Gomti Nagar in Lucknow, was designed by ARCH-EN DESIGN as a low, spread-out office set in its own garden.

Low and shaded

The building is kept to two storeys and wraps around open courts, so that offices get daylight and cross-ventilation from both sides. Its entrance is marked by a tall portal under a projecting roof, with a glazed stair behind, and the walls are finished in warm sandstone tones with deep-set windows.

A planted forecourt and paved walks lead up to the entrance, so that the building sits back from the road behind its garden.
