Designing for business
Architecture that works as hard as your business.
When businesses look for commercial architects in Chennai, the requirement is rarely limited to an attractive building. Commercial architecture needs to understand how people move, work, meet, shop, visit and use the space every day.
Gridstone approaches commercial projects through architecture, interior design, engineering, planning and construction management. The objective is to develop spaces that respond to the project's site, functional requirements, architectural character and long-term use.
From office architecture and workplace planning to retail, commercial buildings and specialised business environments, each project begins with understanding the requirements before developing the design.

Commercial building design
Start with the function. Shape the architecture around it.
A commercial building needs to accommodate people, operations, circulation, services and future requirements. Good commercial architecture brings these considerations together without losing the identity of the building.
Gridstone develops architectural concepts around the site's conditions, project brief and intended use. Planning, elevations, spatial relationships and technical requirements are considered as connected parts of the design process.

Office architecture
A workplace should support the people using it.
Office architecture and commercial interior design need to respond to more than aesthetics. The arrangement of spaces influences movement, collaboration, privacy, meetings, reception and everyday work.
Reception & Arrival
Welcoming entry spaces that establish the character of the workplace from the first point of contact.
Work Areas
Efficient layouts for individual work, team collaboration and changing workplace requirements.
Meeting Spaces
Meeting rooms, discussion spaces and focused areas organised according to the needs of the business.
Executive Spaces
Private offices and leadership spaces with appropriate hierarchy, comfort and functional planning.
Staff & Support Areas
Supporting functions integrated into the overall workplace planning rather than treated as an afterthought.
Brand Expression
Materials, finishes and spatial character can reinforce the identity of the organisation.
Integrated design
More than a façade.
Commercial projects work best when architectural decisions, interiors, engineering and planning are considered together.

Why Gridstone
A multidisciplinary approach to commercial design.
Gridstone was established in 2016 and brings together architecture, interior design, engineering, planning & urban design and construction management as part of its multidisciplinary practice.
This allows commercial projects to be considered from multiple design and technical perspectives rather than treating architecture and interiors as separate decisions.
Architecture-led thinking
Design begins with the relationship between site, building, people and purpose.
Integrated disciplines
Architecture, interiors, engineering and planning can be coordinated within one design approach.
Project-specific design
Commercial spaces are developed around the individual requirements of each project.
Experienced practice
Gridstone has been developing architecture and design solutions since 2016.
