SAGI Architects proudly announces the opening of the sales office for Silverbay by Transcon Developers, an upcoming luxury residential project in Bandra West, Mumbai. Constructed using shipping containers, the office is a sustainable and cost-effective workspace solution that paves the way for new-age temporary structures. The project along with its sales office was officially inaugurated on 9th April 2024 by Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal and Rishi Todi, Directors, Transcon Developers Pvt Ltd.
Sustainable and Efficient Design
The temporary nature of the sales office made prefabricated shipping containers the ideal choice, offering a sustainable and cost-effective design solution with several environmental benefits. Repurposing containers reduces landfill waste and the need for virgin materials. Additionally, prefabrication allows for swift construction, minimizing resource consumption during the temporary build. Finally, after serving its purpose for approximately one year, the containers can be dismantled and reused on future Transcon projects, promoting a circular economy.
“The sales office serves as one of the initial touchpoints for potential homebuyers,” explains Akash Dudhe, Founder and Principal Architect at SAGI Architects. “Our intent was to create a positive first impression that reflects the high quality and design aesthetic of Silverbay. Therefore, we designed an inviting and comfortable experience. We also recognized the need for a sustainable and cost-effective solution. Shipping containers allowed us to exercise creativity and design a unique space while minimizing our environmental impact.”
Elevating Experiences
Steering away from the typical sales offices, this design by SAGI Architects uses design innovation and four shipping containers to create a high-end experience in a temporary structure. The facade for the tele-callers area boasts a shimmering silver effect, inspired by the project’s name, Silverbay, creating a striking visual statement that reflects the surrounding environment.
The climate-responsive design, double-height reception lobby and efficient space planning are a testament to Transcon Developers and SAGI Architects’ commitment to creativity and innovation. Furthermore, the office is planned using climate-responsive design principles to minimise heat gain, utilize natural light and reduce energy consumption.
“Transcon’s commitment to conscious luxury extends beyond the final product. The innovative and sustainable sales office for Silverbay reflects our dedication to building the future of luxury living in Mumbai, today,” notes Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers Pvt Ltd.
The inauguration of the sales office for Silverbay marks a significant milestone in the journey of Transcon Developers. SAGI Architects is proud to have contributed to this project, offering a sustainable and premium design solution.
