With a diverse portfolio that spans interior design, private residences, workspaces, retail, hospitality, and large-scale urban developments, the studio is known for its context-driven and technically rigorous approach to design.

Architecture Discipline’s design ethos centers on resilience, adaptability, and contextual relevance. Each project is developed through a rational design process and defined by technical precision, sustainable strategies, and enduring value. The studio seeks to craft built environments that not only fulfill their function but also foster a sense of optimism and progress.

Key projects include the Discovery Centre in Bengaluru, the India Pavilion at Hannover Messe, and urban regeneration initiatives such as JDH in Jodhpur and the Mohalla Clinics for the Delhi Government. Through its multidisciplinary explorations, the practice continues to contribute meaningfully to India’s contemporary architectural landscape.

Headquarters for Delhivery, Goa

Design Team: Akshat Bhatt, Payal Paul, Nikita Aneja

Site Area: 2760 sqm

Completion of Project: June 2023

Client Name: Delhivery

The Delhivery Headquarters in Goa redefines the modern workplace by transforming an old warehouse into a vibrant hub for innovation, sustainability, and collaboration. Conceived as a self-sufficient ecosystem, the project’s Phase I is rooted in adaptive reuse—preserving the existing industrial shell while redesigning it with minimalistic and functional interiors. With the outdated asbestos roofing replaced by insulated profile sheets and a central skylight running along the ridge, natural light floods the interiors, supplemented by green-infused courtyards and light shelves. In just two months, the team delivered a fully operational, low-carbon-footprint workplace that supports flexible working styles, specialised drone labs, and communal ideation spaces. Dressed in Delhivery’s signature red, the building boldly announces its identity while seamlessly integrating with the serene Goan context.

Design Highlights :

 

  • Adaptive reuse of a warehouse, completed in 2 months
  • Insulated roofing with central skylight
  • Courtyard and light shelves for natural ventilation
  • Mix of individual and communal workspaces
  • Signature red façade as a visual landmark
  • Dedicated drone labs and testing zones

Summary :
Delhivery’s Goa HQ presents a forward-thinking workspace model where efficiency meets innovation. Phase II expands on this vision with a multi-level events block, a sky-lit terrace growing fresh produce for in-house eateries, and wellness features like a lower-ground gym. An angled bridge connects the events block to the main office, enabling a seamless live-work-play culture. This headquarters is not just a workplace—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem that reflects Delhivery’s commitment to sustainability, employee well-being, and continuous innovation.
