The Gateway District Offices in Delhi’s Aerocity set a new benchmark for premium workplaces in India, shaped by global perspectives on the future of work. In line with the Gateway District Masterplan, the building extends across the full site footprint and is organised around a generous central landscaped courtyard.
Dubbed ‘The 9th City of Delhi’, Aerocity is set to become India’s first sustainable Transit Oriented Development with over 30 million square feet of mixed-use commercial development and a working population of over 100,000. Within the new district, PLP Architecture have designed over 7 million square feet of mixed-use office, retail and hospitality space across a number of different sites.
PLP Architecture were engaged to design an office-led mixed-use development at Aerocity’s Gateway District, setting the standard for the next generation of smart and sustainable office buildings at Aerocity. We were inspired by the masterplan vision aiming to break away from the model of inward-facing developments and introduce an active and permeable public realm, creating an exciting new environment for office users and the general public. Our challenge was reconciling a high-density development with a generous provision of open public space that is adequate for Delhi’s climate.
