A Delhi architecture firm’s own office has become a local attraction after recent coverage highlighted its tree-like form and an indoor waterfall. (hindustantimes.com) The office belongs to Atrey Design Studio in West Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi, and the firm’s website lists the address as 4/2, Club Road, West Punjabi Bagh, 110026. Designboom reported the studio completed the project in 2022. (atreydesign.com) (designboom.com) Recent attention came after influencer Priyam Saraswat posted a video tour on Instagram, which Hindustan Times said showed a workspace shaped like a tree and built around a flowing water feature. Hindustan Times published its story on April 18, 2026. (hindustantimes.com) The design was not pitched as a conventional glass-and-drywall office. Designboom said the studio described the structure as a sculptural workspace in which the central form swells upward like a trunk and canopy. (designboom.com) Atrey & Associates says it was established in 1997 and has long framed its work around designing “in sync with nature.” That helps explain why its own headquarters leans on landscape references instead of standard corporate interiors. (atreydesign.com) The project’s imagery and descriptions tie the office to natural symbols familiar in north India, including mountain forms and a river-like water element. Hindustan Times said the space was presented as drawing from the Himalayas and the Ganga. (hindustantimes.com) That puts the office in a broader stream of “biophilic” workplace design, a term architects use for interiors that borrow cues from nature through light, plants, water, and organic shapes. Atrey’s own site says the firm emphasizes natural integration across its projects, from houses to commercial interiors. (atreydesign.com 1) (atreydesign.com 2) The office is also part showroom, part manifesto: architects often use their own studios to demonstrate materials, forms, and ideas to clients before applying them elsewhere. In this case, the message is literal — a design practice that says it works with nature built itself a workplace that looks like a tree. (designboom.com) (atreydesign.com)
