WoCO One, Gurugram

The economic hotspot around the NH8 neighbourhood in the fast-evolving Gurugram has been witnessing a wave of commercialisation. Premium hotels, IT Parks, office campuses and recreational arenas collectively exhibit this rapid progress. Amidst this, WoCO, the World of Cool Offices, introduces a refreshed way of planning a work environment by centring the aspirations of an evolved workforce. Located in a verdant, commercially thriving neighbourhood around the NH-8 intersection in Gurugram, WoCO One reimagines the workplace design through the values of inclusivity, flexibility and sustainability. The site enjoys proximity to the National Highway, marquee hotels, transit connection nodes, and popular commercial centres—all within a 15-minute distance on foot. Leveraging this unique position, WoCO One is conceptualised on the Walk-to-Work model—a transit-oriented development model that works for reduced dependence on vehicular transit. Provisioned with these principles, WoCo Vault—a facility housing sustainable mobility solutions like smart bicycles and EV charging stations—aligns well with the aspirations of the next generation of eco-conscious professionals.

Right from the entry, the master plan favours the concept of Walk-to-Work by establishing a direct pedestrian connection to the subway system. With less than 650 meters of distance to the nodal IFFCO Chowk Metro Station, the site opens onto the arterial road—ensuring a seamless on-foot commute for everyday office-goers. This intervention furthers the passive sustainability intent of the overall scheme. At the same time, the design also ensures privacy by lacing the tower with strategic landscaping: a multi-layered plantation that varies in height and foliage spread. This buffer, a varied line-up of plants and trees, retains a visual connection to the outside while also blanketing the office tower.

WoCO One tower rises to nine floors and a terrace above ground and extends to a spacious triple-level basement structure below ground. Spread over a 2-lakh sq. ft. area, WoCO One advocates ‘passive sustainability’ and new-age workplace design to concretise its standing in the fast-evolving city of Gurugram. A strategic mix of active and passive sustainability measures grants the design an IGBC Platinum certification.
