Lifescience Office Interior Design & Build

Workplace solutions for pharmaceutical and agricultural organisations.
Pencil Sketch has delivered corporate lifescience workplaces across three Bayer engagements in and around Bengaluru — from a 1.4 lakh sq.ft multi-floor renovation at MFAR Manyata TechPark to 1,500 sq.ft BRDC infrastructure work at Kallinayakanhalli. Every engagement carries global-compliance overlays, wellness-integrated finishes and the material discipline lifescience clients expect.

  • 1.4 lakh sq.ft largest single client engagement — MFAR Manyata TechPark (Bayer Science & Innovation + Bayer Pharmaceutical).
  • Three concurrent Bayer engagements across Kodiganahalli, Kallinayakanhalli and MFAR Manyata (2025–2026).
  • Global-compliance overlays managed against client-approved specification libraries.
  • Photography-restricted delivery protocols where client confidentiality requires it.
— Why it mattersSector-specific fit-out competence

Global-compliance overlays

Lifescience clients operate against internal design standards, approved-material libraries, and GxP-adjacent specifications. Every material passes a dual review: our design QA + the client's compliance sign-off against their global standards documentation.

Wellness + calibrated lighting

Long-form research + regulatory work needs lighting calibrated for regulatory brightness alongside daily-use comfort. Acoustic finishes in muted tones. Ergonomic furniture systems that hold up to five-year wear cycles under intensive use.

Multi-site delivery model

Lifescience clients often engage across multiple sites — R&D infrastructure, corporate workspace, lab-office boundary zones. Our integrated model holds one accountable studio across all sites of a single client relationship.

Does Pencil Sketch have experience with pharmaceutical office fit-outs in India?

Yes. Pencil Sketch has three active engagements with Bayer across three sites in and around Bengaluru: a 1.4 lakh sq.ft multi-floor renovation at MFAR Manyata TechPark (joint Bayer Science & Innovation + Bayer Pharmaceutical, largest single client engagement to date), a ~20,000 sq.ft CPDS Station design & build at Kodiganahalli, and a 1,500 sq.ft BRDC (Bayer Research and Development Center) infrastructure engagement at Kallinayakanhalli. All are governed by Bayer's global-compliance overlay and photography-restriction policy.

How does Pencil Sketch handle global-standard compliance for lifescience workplaces?

Global lifescience clients operate against internal design standards, approved-material libraries and specification catalogues that must be honoured across every site. Our discovery phase includes a review of the client's standards documentation; every material and specification then passes a dual review — our internal design QA plus the client's compliance sign-off against their global standards. Long-lead item procurement is scheduled against compliance approval windows, not just against delivery lead times.

Can Pencil Sketch deliver lab-office boundary zones and R&D infrastructure fit-outs?

Yes. R&D infrastructure work runs at higher-precision tolerance than general corporate fit-out. The Bayer BRDC engagement at Kallinayakanhalli — 1,500 sq.ft of lifescience R&D infrastructure — is a good reference for the compressed-precision delivery model. Every material, MEP connection and joinery detail is specified to R&D-grade tolerance from the outset.

What sectors within life sciences does Pencil Sketch work in?

Pharmaceutical, agricultural R&D (Agri R&D), pharma workspace, R&D infrastructure and hybrid GCC + lifescience workspaces. Sector language matters for compliance: the Bayer MFAR engagement, for example, spans Bayer Science & Innovation (Agri R&D) and Bayer Pharmaceutical (pharma workspace) under a single integrated engagement.
