架构师提供的文本描述。涅槃是一家广告电影制作公司的办公场所。一家不受欢迎的电影制作公司。他们的电影是一个惊喜-一个未经探索的人文视角的产品。他们的工作空间是基于这样一种想法，即突触的连接创造了想法-而不是隐私或孤立。

Text description provided by the architects. Nirvana is an office space for an ad film production company.  A film production firm that thinks out of the box.  Their films are a surprise – an unexplored humane perspective on a product. Their workspace is based on the thought that the connection of synapses creates ideas – not privacy or isolation.

涅槃的“盒子”就像所有的城市建筑一样，出现在班加罗尔繁忙的Indiranagar中心的一个小角落里。给出了一个商业项目的最佳空间、场地挫折、允许的FSI，在3000平方英尺的场地上增加了8000平方英尺的建筑面积。这座大楼是在2.25克雷的预算范围内建造的(包括所有服务)

The “box” for Nirvana emerged, as with all urban buildings, out of a small corner plot in the heart of the busy neighbourhood of Indiranagar in Bangalore. Optimizing space, site setbacks, allowable FSI for a commercial project, are given, in gaining 8000 sq.ft of built up area on a site of 3000 sq.ft. The building was built within a budget of 2.25 Crores (inclusive of all services & interiors).

然而，这个项目探索了商业建筑的内在可能性，尽管有房地产的限制。由此产生的城市类型颠覆了所有用于照明或通风的规范-几乎不使用电力。这个盒子的核心是N-S连接楼梯，在上面有一个巨大的天窗，它充满阳光和自然通风，就像另一种类型的庭院一样。

However, this project explores the possibilities inherent in a commercial building despite the constraints of real estate.  The resulting urban typology overturns all norms – using almost NO electricity – for light or ventilation. The Core of this box is the N-S connector staircase that slices through the building with a huge skylight above, suffusing it with sunlight and natural ventilation much like a courtyard would in another typology.

外部和内部的工作和非工作的分工被楼梯核心的存在所消除。立面进一步方便了与外部的连接与实心玻璃和可开启的丙烯酸百叶窗。因此，百叶窗，不透明和坚实，开放一致，让微风进来，调节光，风和雨。墙和窗的概念相互转换，形成了一个充满活力的立面。窗户是实心的，墙是透明的，敞开的。这些百叶窗，100%丙烯酸固体表面板，是定制的，并作为外部元素首次在印度使用。

The divisions of work and non work, outside and inside are obliterated by the presence of the staircase core.  The façade further facilitates the connections to the outside with the solid glass and open-able acrylic louvers. Thus the louvers, opaque and solid, open in unison to allow the breeze in, modulating light, wind and rain. The notion of wall and window is interchanged, leading to a dynamic façade. The window is solid, the wall transparent and open.  These louvers, built of 100% Acrylic solid surface sheets, were customized, and used as an exterior element for the first time in India.

楼梯的核心需要一个可渗透的柔性装置，以允许光线。

The staircase core needed a permeable flexible device, to allow light & ventilation, and yet block out rain and peering neighbors. This 18’ high wood & clear acrylic “jali” is actually a set of 6” wide louvers interlocked into each other, capable of moving in unison, again, and opening to ventilate the stairwell. The solid black bathrooms, the only space that demands privacy, were created to contrast completely with the suffused light quality of the rest of the building.

所研究的结构和材料的轻盈性-没有光束，以及三种材料-木材、混凝土和玻璃-产生了一座建筑，其中光和影、思想和相互作用成为主角。一座当代建筑，它无视任何“主义”，代表创新、可持续性和多元化(所有风格特征并存-古典椅子、小猫图形、旧世界窗户)。该项目的成功体现在制作团队的评论中：“我们工作时间更长了

The studied lightness of structure and material – no beams, and three materials – wood, concrete and glass produces a building where light and shadow, thought and interaction become the protagonists. A contemporary building that ignores any “isms” and stands for innovation, sustainability and pluralism (all stylistic features co-exist – classical chairs, kitschy graphics, old world windows). The project’s success is revealed with the production team’s comments “We work longer hours & look forward to coming to work. We love the light and its everywhere”.
