Office Interiors in a Banjara Hills House
A drawing room with four metres of height asked to hold twelve workstations, a stair landing doing duty as a waiting area, a bedroom wing expected to become a conference room: the offices here are mostly houses that were never drawn for work. The numbered roads of Banjara Hills put a commercial edge one street away from plots where the neighbours are still families, so a fitout has to answer volume, echo and who lives next door before it answers how many desks fit on a plan. Our studio at Ambedkar Statue in Narsingi is twelve kilometres away, and we begin by surveying the condition of the building itself.

What Height And Old Fabric Give You, Once Planned
In a room with this much height the real choice is between filling the volume and using it, and it is made the day the level of a false ceiling is set, because that one line fixes where light hangs, where sound goes and whether the space above becomes storage or becomes nothing at all.
Volume Put To Use
Lighting is brought down to working level and what is left above becomes storage or a mezzanine, so a tall room stops being a space you heat and light for no return.
A Tall Room That Does Not Ring
Hard plaster, stone floors and four metres of height send a conference down the hallway, so absorption goes into the ceiling zone and the upper walls where it does the work.
Proportions Left Alone
Where a room has openings, reveals and a ceiling worth keeping, cabins are set inside them rather than a flat grid being run straight through the middle of the house.
An Upper Wing With One Job
The bedroom wing upstairs becomes a department that can be shut for the evening, while the staircase stays a staircase instead of becoming the only route between two halves of a team.
Services Run, Not Chased
Cabling and cooling are carried in containment, joinery voids and a ceiling zone instead of being cut into old masonry, which is kinder to the building and far easier to change later.
A Room For Receiving People
Clients arriving through a compound gate are taken into a front room built to receive them, so what greets them is not the old circulation of somebody's house.
How We Approach An Old House On A Numbered Road
- A condition survey comes first
- Damp at the skirting, the age of the wiring, the state of the terrace above and what the plaster is hiding are recorded before a layout is proposed, because any one of them can reorder the whole job.
- Hours agreed with the houses next door
- On a road where the neighbours are still families, cutting and grinding are held to daytime windows we agree in advance, and deliveries are timed so a shared lane is never blocked.
- Tested before anything is opened
- In a house of this age a load bearing wall and a later partition are indistinguishable under plaster, so anything we suggest taking down is checked and confirmed on site first.
- One room finished before the rest is ordered
- A single cabin or the front room is completed and walked with you, and only then is joinery for the remaining rooms cut, so a finish that reads wrong in this light is caught exactly once.
- A drawing set you keep
- Older houses rarely come with records, so what we survey and what we install is drawn up and handed to you at the end, which is what makes the next change to the building straightforward.
Banjara Hills House Offices: What Owners Ask
Our Banjara Hills office is a house with very tall rooms. Will it echo?
Untreated, almost certainly, because hard plaster and a stone floor under that much height leave sound nowhere to go. It is solved at planning stage rather than with panels added after the complaints start: absorption goes into the ceiling zone and the upper walls, meeting rooms are placed away from the hardest surfaces, and soft finishes are used where people sit rather than where visitors walk. We will tell you at the visit which rooms need it and which do not.
Can you work in an old Banjara Hills house without cutting into the walls?
Largely yes, and it is usually the better answer anyway. Cabling and cooling are carried in surface containment, in joinery voids and above a ceiling zone, so the masonry is left intact. Where something genuinely has to be opened it is tested first and shown to you on the survey drawing before it is priced. That protects the building, and it also stops a later change from turning into a demolition job.
The buildings around our Banjara Hills office are homes. Will the work disturb them?
It is the constraint we plan hardest around on these roads. Noisy operations are held to agreed daytime windows, material and debris are moved at times the lane can take, and the compound is used for loading instead of the street. We would rather commit to a slower programme the neighbours can live with than a fast one that gets stopped in its second week.
Show Us The House You Are Working With
Tell us which rooms have to stay in use, which can be handed over, and how many cabins and workstations the building has to seat. We will come across from Narsingi, twelve kilometres away, survey the house as it stands, talk the sequence through with you and follow up with an itemised quote for the office interiors work. We do not charge for the survey. Call +91 79892 32675.
