Liberty Whiteware Ltd., Neemrana, Rajasthan

 

Liberty Shoes, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of leather shoes wanted to diversify into sanitary ware. They set up their huge manufacturing plant and office head quarters in Rajasthan.

SSAs task was to design & refurbish a glitzy high tech office building which the company would proudly flaunt as the face of their whiteware business. A combination of structural glazing and composite metal panel cladding in the façade of the office building reflected the international outlook of the company.

A double height artrium leads to the upper floor where glitzy reception with mirror polished Italian marble floor greets visitors. Graphics reinforce the brand and also animate the space. A lively cafeteria space with colourful hues doubles as a visitors’ lounge. Natural light floods the entire workspace, drastically reducing the power bills. The meeting rooms are glass capsules with only an intermediate solid wall. Furniture, sourced from DVO of Italy and Haworth of USA, maintains the international look throughout the space.
