Once a derelict residential dwelling in the chic suburbs of South Delhi, This structure was conceived to be the most fitting by the architects for a one-of-a-kind men fertility chain that was looking to make its debut with a flagship clinic. The building had clocked over 40 years, nearly touching the red mark of its lifetime, theoretically.  The physical condition, however, was evaluated and found to be apt for a quick turnaround.  The translation of its planning from a residential dwelling to that of a clinic foresaw major structural challenges due to the walls being load-bearing and the absence of any RCC member in the structure. This was augmented by strengthening and retrofitting with structural steel, injection grouting, etc.... More

Nutri Bowl, specialised in cold-pressed juices, and Nutri Bowl, pioneer in healthy to-go meals, are joining forces in a new roll-out concept. Ninetynine was asked to develop a modular, scalable shop-in-shop concept which resulted in an inverted island bar which brings the customer – and not the staff – to the heart of the brand-controlled environment.   The design is based on a grid of 40x30x30 cm blocks. The size literally refers to the optimal 40/30/30 - protein/carbohydrates/fat - ratio provided by the power series of Nutri Bowl. The basic grid is projected onto the floor as a tiled surface, and is separated from the walls of the space. An L-shaped counter and a free-standing block that serves as a table are constructe...
