位于马哈拉施特拉邦Vasind的JSW行政办公楼改造项目，是JSW致力于打造体现企业活力与持续演进形象工作场所的有力见证。 原有厂区办公楼分散于工厂各处，已有30至40年历史，不仅存在渗漏问题，也难以契合JSW所倡导的敏感、可持续、年轻且充满活力的新品牌精神。因此，新园区旨在营造一个整体化的工作环境，并以“每天更好一点（Better Every Day）”为指导原则，充分展现品牌核心价值。

The transformation of the JSW Administrative Office at Vasind in Maharashtra is a testament to JSW’s commitment to creating workspaces that reflect its dynamic and evolving identity. The previous plant offices, scattered throughout the plant and over 30-40 years old, were prone to leakage and no longer aligned with JSW’s emerging brand ethos of being sensitive, sustainable, young, and dynamic. Hence, the new campus aims to create a holistic work environment, effectively projecting the brand’s core values under the guiding principle “Better Every Day.”

转型愿景
A Vision for Transformation

新的行政综合体位于厂区西北侧的开放地块，将原本分散且陈旧的办公空间整合为一座先进的行政中心。它不仅提供更完善的基础设施，也营造出更加有利于工作的环境。 业主希望通过拆除旧建筑改善整个厂区环境，这些腾退出来的区域被改造为景观绿地，使员工能够与自然环境建立联系。

The new administrative complex, set in the open northwest parcel of the plant, consolidates these outdated offices into a state-of-the-art administrative complex that not only provides better infrastructure but also fosters a conducive working environment. The client’s vision to enhance the overall plant environment through the demolition of old structures has translated these areas into landscaped green spaces that allow for a connection with the natural surroundings.

场地策略与负责任的规划
Strategic Site Context and Responsible Planning

JSW Vasind工厂位于孟买—纳西克高速公路沿线，占地110英亩，是瓦楞板材加工与制造的重要基地。 新行政综合体被布置于西北侧开放地块，以最大化项目的可见度和品牌影响力。规划法规要求距离高速公路中心线125米范围内不得建设建筑，这一规定实际上将地块划分为两条狭长区域。位于北侧区域的原行政建筑在搬迁后被拆除，并被改造为景观空间及新增停车场。 项目的整体布局受到高速公路退界条件的影响，而这些退界要求也界定了项目的主要建设区域。场地整体较为空旷，仅保留部分树木覆盖区域，这些树木均被谨慎保护。建筑设计充分利用场地自然条件，将周边景观融入整体规划，在最大程度减少表土扰动及避免损伤现有树木的前提下，营造出统一且富有吸引力的环境。

Located on a major hub for the processing and manufacturing of corrugated sheets, the JSW Vasind plant spans 110 acres along the Mumbai-Nashik highway. The strategic placement of the new administrative complex on the open northwest parcel maximises visibility and brand impact. Development regulations required no construction within 125 meters of the highway’s centre, effectively dividing the plot into two linear parcels. The existing administrative buildings, located in the north area, were demolished post-shifting, and the area was repurposed into landscaped spaces and additional parking. The development’s placement has been informed by these highway setbacks, which defined the primary zone of the project. The site was largely clear, except for some tree cover, which has been carefully preserved. The architectural design takes full advantage of the site’s natural elements, integrating the surrounding landscape into the overall plan to create a cohesive and visually engaging environment while ensuring minimal disruption to the topsoil and no damage to the existing trees.

深思熟虑的设计与空间秩序
Thoughtful Design and Spatial Harmony

JSW行政办公楼的建筑设计体现了扎实的空间规划能力以及对场地景观的积极回应。 整个综合体由三个主要部分组成：主办公楼、咖啡厅以及后勤服务区。它们通过一系列景观体验空间相互连接，包括到达亭、步行路径以及中央行政庭院。建筑形体采用当地石材与清水混凝土塑造，并通过带保温性能的玻璃围护形成办公空间。 深挑檐以及由耐候钢制成的局部外遮阳构件提供了良好的遮阳效果，同时引入充足而柔和的自然光。统一的基座容纳办公与共享功能空间，其上方则设置了精心塑造的线性体量，面向绿色景观展开，以最大化工作空间的自然采光与视野。位于主楼与后勤楼之间的咖啡厅则成为厂区内部步行联系的重要节点，促进交流与协作。

The architectural design of the JSW Administrative Office is a testament to robust spatial planning and thoughtful engagement with the landscape. The complex is divided into three primary zones: the main office block, the café, and the utility block. These zones are connected by a series of experiences set in the landscape, including the arrival pavilion, pedestrian walk, and central administrative court. The built form is carefully articulated in local stone and exposed concrete, with insulated glazed covers for the workspaces, providing ample diffused light while being well-shaded by deep overhangs and localised external screens made of Corten steel. The unifying base of the complex houses the workspaces and shared functions, above which distinctly crafted linear bars overlook green vistas and maximise natural light and views for the workspaces. The café block, positioned between the main and utility blocks, facilitates pedestrian connectivity from other areas of the plant, creating a central hub for interaction and collaboration.

材料创新、可持续性与责任消费
Material Innovation, Sustainability, and Responsible Consumption

材料创新是本项目可持续发展策略的核心。 项目采用本地采购的Kota石、花岗岩和玄武岩等材料，体现了JSW对可持续发展的承诺。这些材料不仅降低了运输过程中的碳排放、支持当地经济，也塑造了建筑独特的空间特质，并提升其环境性能。项目还广泛采用了JSW自有生产的钢材、水泥及涂料产品，使企业产品直接融入建筑环境之中。 为降低能源与资源消耗，建筑引入了多项可持续策略，包括Low-E双层玻璃、合理的遮阳系统、保温屋面以及低能耗LED照明设备。设计还采用了低耗水洁具、高效水冷冷机以及污水处理系统，使处理后的水能够用于园艺灌溉和冷却塔补水。 景观设计有意识地减少建筑周边硬质铺装，以避免热岛效应，并最大化绿地与树木覆盖面积。中央污水处理站处理后的中水被用于维护整体绿化环境。

Material innovation is at the core of the project’s sustainability strategy. The use of locally sourced materials such as Kota stone, granite, and basalt stone underscores JSW’s commitment to sustainability. These materials minimise transportation emissions, support the local economy, and contribute to the building’s unique identity while enhancing its environmental performance. The project extensively utilises JSW’s own steel, cement, and paints, further integrating the company’s products into the built environment. To reduce energy and resource consumption, the building incorporates several sustainable strategies, including low-E double glazing, appropriate shading devices, thermally insulated roofs, and low-consumption LED light fixtures. The design also features low water consumption fixtures, efficient water-cooled chillers, and wastewater treatment systems that reuse water for horticulture and cooling tower make-up. The landscape design consciously minimises hardscape around the building perimeter to avoid the heat island effect and maximise softscape and tree cover, with treated water from the central plant’s STP used to maintain the green cover.

亲自然设计、使用体验与品牌精神
Biophilic Design, User Experience, and Brand Ethos

JSW行政办公楼的设计融入了亲自然理念，打造与自然紧密联系的工作环境。 自然光、新鲜空气以及景观体验被纳入设计核心，以提升使用体验并加强人与环境之间的联系。考虑到员工每天有超过三分之一的时间在工作场所度过，设计重点关注促进身心健康、参与感与工作效率的空间环境。办公区域强调无眩光自然采光、合理规划的个人与共享空间，以及与自然景观的紧密联系。室内设计同时关注声学效果、人体工学与空间适应性，使工作环境既高效实用又富有启发性。作为艺术的支持者，业主接受了一种能够体现Vasind工厂精神的内部品牌塑造方式。 与传统艺术陈设不同，设计团队提出通过展示“个人与工作之间的交集”来构建具有意义的空间叙事。其中包括“Vasind英雄”——展示蓝领工人的大型肖像，“工作的瞬间”——记录员工工作场景，“爱的语言”——以本地方言呈现的语录，以及其他反映工厂文化与历史的个性化元素。

The design of the JSW Administrative Office incorporates biophilic principles, creating a workspace deeply connected to nature. Natural light, fresh air, and engagement with the landscape are integral to the design, enhancing the overall user experience and fostering a strong connection with the environment. Recognising that employees spend over a third of their daily lives at work, the design focuses on creating environments that support well-being, engagement, and productivity. The workspaces emphasise glare-free natural light, thoughtful planning of personal and communal spaces with optimal density, and a strong connection to nature. The interiors also prioritise acoustics, ergonomics, and adaptability, ensuring that the work environment is both functional and inspiring. As patrons of art, the client embraced the concept of internal branding that resonates with the spirit of the Vasind Works plant. Rather than conventional art, the design team proposed showcasing the overlap between self and work, creating narratives that would be meaningful to employees. These include “Heroes of Vasind” – larger-than-life photos of blue-collar workers, “Act of Work” – capturing employees in action, “Language of Love” – quotes in native languages, and other personalised elements that reflect the plant’s culture and history.

工艺与技艺的表达
Engaging Craft and Skill

项目通过邀请本地工匠参与关键设计构件的建造，彰显精湛工艺价值。 代表性的做法包括通往中央门厅的精细拼接玄武岩墙面、中央门厅的水磨石工艺，以及精致制作的楼梯栏杆。此外，家具所使用的Kalamkari手工印花织物来自支持织工社区的公益组织，为项目增添了社会责任维度。

The development celebrates skilled craftsmanship by engaging local artisans in the execution of key design elements. Notable examples include the tight-joint local basalt-dressed wall leading to the central foyer, terrazzo work in the central foyer, and the intricately crafted staircase railing. Additionally, block-print Kalamkari fabrics for furnishings were sourced from NGOs supporting weaver communities, adding a layer of social responsibility to the project.
