About the project
Studio Juggernaut were invited to design several key interior spaces, including the Front desk, Corridor and Café, for the Alliance Française (AFD), a premier French language learning and cultural institute located in a prominent institutional neighborhood of New Delhi, India. The building that Alliance Francaise occupies was designed by the well-known practices of Stephane Paumier Architects and ABRD Architects, and it is considered one of the foremost examples of contemporary architecture in India’s capital city.
The three spaces they designed were almost always part of the user’s experience of the AFD, regardless of one’s purpose in visiting the building. They were typically accessed, both physically and visually, in strict succession.
They hoped to tie the spaces through a common string of materiality and colour, as well as through French and Indian cultural references. Their choices of materials were based on the properties’ resilience, low maintenance, and longevity. The materials were also chosen to harmoniously integrate their design intervention with the existing building. They proposed to use perforated metal sheets and birch wood slats as a way to continue the aesthetic language of the existing building. Naturally, they modified the application of these materials to reflect their design ideas.
