Unveiling its new design, the Indore Nagar Parishad Assembly Hall in India illustrates a thoughtful approach to modern civic interior design through the use of western hemlock – blending aesthetics, functionality, and environmental consciousness. …Recognizing the various benefits of wood and its aesthetic appeal, Ar. Puneet Pandey of VIMA sought a material that could contribute to the intended atmosphere of the space, particularly by incorporating natural elements which can reduce stress and improve cognitive performance through biophilic design principles. The hall needed to be more than just a meeting space; it needed to be aesthetically appealing and contribute to the overall environment, maintaining the sanctity of its purpose. Having established a prior relationship with FII India through trade events and educational seminars, Ar. Puneet Pandey sought the expertise of the FII India team to assist with material selection and project implementation.
