ABOUT THE
PROJECT
The corporate office project for Visage Beauty and health Care
Products Pvt. Ltd. in Noida is designed to be a contemporary work-
space that facilitates engagement, collaboration, and employee
efficacy. Design intervention is enabled amidst the previously-flat floor
plates to make the interiors more dynamic while optimizing workplace
efficiency and well-being. The design revolves around transforming this
space into a powerful and memorable insertion in the surroundings. The
façade on the south-west and south east (that receives maximum
sunlight during the day, hence the heat gain) is designed based on
volumetric analysis – with carefully designed fins and fenestrations
crafted to block the summer sun completely and allow penetration of
sunlight during winters.

FUNCTIONING

1. The Façade Mostly Consist of Vertical Elements.

2. The Facade attracts the overall out side visuals of humans in to the building.
3. The façade on the south-west and south east that receives maximum
sunlight during the day.
4. Hence the heat gain is designed based on volumetric analysis – with
carefully designed fins and fenestrations crafted to block the summer sun
completely and allow penetration of sunlight during winters.
The facade Functions as wells as aesthetic and covering for intense
sunlight.
The metal façade gives more attraction from outside.
The intense color of the faced gives more attraction to aesthetic look.

ABOUT THE
PROJECT
Hexalace is an open-plan commercial building made primarily
for leasing purposes. In a tight commercial plot with challenging
building norms, it became perceptible from the beginning that
the concept would have to be manifested from the facade.
Considering the arduous climatic conditions involving extreme
heat, and the building front facing west, the façade emerged as a
buffer of stratifying elements.

FAÇADE
FUNCTIONING

3 inches thick concrete layer with hexagonal interstices has been

used as a shading element. To better preserve the sanctity of
shade, the screen flows organically creating an artistic visual
dilemma from both inside as well as outside. Another layer of
hexagonal silhouette made of metal frames is superimposed
horizontally across the semi-permeable concrete screen which
doubles up as balcony fence.
 FAÇADE
FUNCTIONING

Furthermore, the main curtain wall has been recessed to leave

pockets of air between the screen and the main building to
increase the time lag and subsequently reduce the heat gain.
Therefore, the facade by its inherent virtue of convergence acts as
bronchioles for the structure.

Visage Beauty & Health Care office 59.5 1.5 10.5

Hexalace 72 1 8

Here both buildings have same nearby values so both buildings are nearby similar in
visual appearance.
CONCLUSION

Here the Building 02 has a higher level of attractiveness : 72

In harmony aspect, by counting level of inner complication the building has 8.5

So here the second building is more attractive and have a good optimality vision in
real life. These mathematical numbers help to identify the optimality features of the
building in real life.

Conclusion

Coefficient of aggressiveness in both buildings are same. The both buildings have good positive visual
appearance. The coefficient of aggressiveness (Kagr) depends on the total number of cells and the number of
cells with more than two identical elements.

Learning

Here from these Three Methods I get the systematic and blended learning information about the Sustainability.
These tasks are much important for the calculations of a object about its sustainability and the factors
coordinating with the environment.
1. The optimality of structures helps to study about the visual information’s. In this task I get proper
information about what could be done to achieve optimal pattern of visual information.
2. The fractal Analysis by using the java script software we can understand the fractal dimensions of the
objects. By using this we can compare two or more objects in our daily situations when we need.
3. The Videoecology task helps to find out the coefficient of aggressiveness in the object. its help to find out
the visual disturbances.
