AN IMMERSIVE INTERIOR EXPERIENCE The Parinee i Tower Lobby in Andheri West, Mumbai, presents a harmonious fusion of exterior architecture and interior design. The office tower’s distinctive triangulated façade, crafted from dichroic glass, acts as a shimmering canvas, constantly transforming in appearance with the changing light. This architectural identity seamlessly extends into the interior, creating a unified experience that captivates from the outside in. ARRIVAL EXPERIENCE The exterior arrival sequence impresses with a striking geometric canopy and dynamic triangulation at the drop-off flooring and wall. The Drop Off wall facade features white GRC components, adorned with three dimensional triangulation, envelopes the building in a sculptural form, seamlessly blending the lines between exterior and interior.

REFLECT YOURSELF Stepping into the tower’s lobby, visitors are enveloped in a space where geometry and materiality come alive. The focal feature of the interior is the triangulated ceiling design, composed of mirrored stainless steel panels. These dynamic surfaces reflect light and movement, creating a kaleidoscopic effect that transforms the ceiling into an artful, ever-evolving installation. This interplay between reflections and natural light mirrors the exterior’s bold triangulated geometry, ensuring a cohesive architectural language. This mirrored surface not only reflects the architectural language of the façade but also interacts with natural light and movement to create a dynamic and immersive interior experience. The exterior façade reflects colour and the interior ceiling reflects the user, creating an immersive experience.
The lobby ceiling features a three-dimensional triangulated design crafted from stainless steel, inspired by a Delaunay mesh and guided by attractor points, while carefully accommodating existing beams and services. Integrated within recessed black linear profiles, the ceiling seamlessly incorporates linear LED lighting, air conditioning, sprinklers, and speakers, ensuring both functionality and elegance. For material optimization and minimal wastage, the triangulated surface is subdivided further with hairline joints. Sustainability has been considered in the choice of the materials. Ceiling is Stainless Steel which can be recycled and its everlasting. Wastage of the ceiling panels has been reduced with digital tools. Flooring is terrazzo which has zero wastage.
The Parinee I Tower exemplifies the seamless integration of form, function, and materiality. Its design celebrates geometry as a unifying theme—from the crystalline façade to the intricate interior detailing. This holistic approach ensures that every element, from reflective ceilings to sculptural furniture, contributes to a cohesive spatial narrative. The lobby stands as a testament to thoughtful design, bridging exterior and interior spaces and offering an immersive, memorable experience. The reception area is anchored by a sculptural marble desk, designed as a monolithic centrepiece. Its angular, faceted form echoes the building’s architectural language, reinforcing geometric continuity. Adjacent are bespoke seating elements in warm cognac-toned leather, their crisp profiles blending seamlessly into the overall narrative. The lobby walls carry the triangular motif, accented with delicate rose-gold inlays that form a subtle yet striking pattern. These lines enhance depth and lend warmth to the neutral palette. Seamless polished terrazzo flooring provides a minimalist foundation that balances the geometric complexity above. The lift lobby, encased in warm rose-gold hues, serves as a harmonious extension of the main space—offering intimacy, elegance, and understated luxury.
The client intend was an interior design which lets large amount of people flow through with less seating area. The Design intent was a harmonious fusion of exterior architecture and interior design of the lobby. Materials which age well and are sustaining for longerm.
Studio Symbiosis is an architectural, master planning & interior design studio based in Stuttgart Germany London, Delhi NCR India and London UK involved in projects of various scales and sectors. The design philosophy is to create integrated design solutions imbibing amalgamated, efficient, robust and sustainable designs leading to performative architecture. The research and intent of the practice is to create performance as a design driver, to achieve Sustainable and Smart buildings.
This integration of performance based aesthetics exists in nature everywhere around us. Nature has tested and evolved these systems through iterative process to create robust and elegant design solutions. The complexity of the various subsystems are selectively articulated to generate the final design solution. The practice believes that with computational tools it is possible to create elegant design solutions driven by performance.
