Stella is a compact office building located in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Within a plot of 836.07 sq.m.,the project accommodates 5,575 sq.m. of office space across 14 levels, with four offices on each floor.The restricted plot size and statutory open space requirements resulted in a vertical configuration,optimizing the usable area while maintaining natural light and ventilation throughout. Nagpur, among India’s hottest cities, records summer temperatures of up to 48°C. Responding to this extreme climate, the building’s façade is conceived as a layered, climate-responsive skin.
