In 1998, RKA designed the complete Space Planning, Interiors, Landscape and Engineering services for the Coca Cola Corporate headquarters at Gurugram near New Delhi to international specifications outlined by the design team and approved by Coca-Cola’s project team from Atlanta.
The Coca Cola Corporate headquarters was designed in 88,000 square feet of space spread over 5 floors, which caters to approximately 400 personnel. RKA designed and coordinated all engineering services including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, firefighting, and security systems. The project co-ordination and management team on site ensured that the offices were finished in record time despite concurrent construction activity in other parts of the building.
The project exemplifies integrated multi-disciplinary design coordination for international corporate standards, requiring seamless collaboration among architectural, interior design, landscape, and comprehensive engineering disciplines. The coordination of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, firefighting, and security systems demonstrates sophisticated building systems integration where diverse technical functions must operate harmoniously while accommodating 400 personnel across five floors.
RKA’s achievement of record-time completion despite concurrent construction activity showcases expert fast-track project management methodology, employing strategic sequencing, resource coordination, and proactive problem-solving to maintain schedule adherence.
The fulfillment of international corporate specifications from Coca-Cola’s Atlanta headquarters reflects the firm’s capacity to translate global standards into locally adapted designs while maintaining the environmental, operational, and workplace quality expectations of multinational organizations establishing their headquarters in India’s emerging corporate landscape.
