Hero MotoCorp didn't want a corporate floor. They wanted a campus their team wanted to come back to.
The Brief
Hero MotoCorp required a compact but premium corporate floor in Bangalore that reflected the brand's energy and gave a relatively small team a workplace worth coming in for. The brief prioritised the social and breakout infrastructure over raw desk count — the culture brief was as important as the headcount brief.
The Challenge
20,000 square feet in 75 days with a brand identity that is strongly associated with performance and movement. Translating that into a sitting workplace without losing the brand's energy was the core design challenge.
What we designed
Designed to the five conditions of the Performance Climate.
Ground
Geometric carpet tiles and planted edges throughout, grounding the energy of the brand in a material palette that is comfortable to work in all day.
Air
The open breakout zone and the workfloor were acoustically separated by the central planter feature, which acts as a passive acoustic buffer as well as a biophilic element.
Light
Circular halo lights in brand red define the breakout zone as a distinct destination within the floor — the light tells you where to go when you need to step away from your desk.
Flow
The central planter and halo light create a landmark that everyone on the floor can navigate from — the layout makes the breakout the centre of the floor, not the corner.
Focus
The workfloor sits behind the breakout with a clear visual separation, so the social energy of the café zone does not bleed into the heads-down work area.
What we built
The circular ceiling halo, the central planter construction, the branded reception zone and the workstation joinery were all manufactured and installed in 75 days — a tight programme for a floor where the bespoke elements were the headline.

"A floor that fits a brand fits the people inside it. That is what integrated delivery buys you: a workplace your team chooses every morning. "
