The Water Aid office was conceived as a response to a geographical setting where it is located – the DLTA complex near the Hauz Khas Reservoir.

The reservoir was built as a Water aid to the Siri settlement for drinking and sanitation purposes. Part of the leisure garden, the reservoir had a pavilion on top of a mound within it, meant for experiencing the natural beauty around. The plantation was kept at the water body edge for long distant views and defining enclosure.

The office space, similarly, is comprised of pavilions as stand-alone structures (for the directors) with curved spaces around them signifying fluidity.
