Commercial · Memco More, Dhanbad
Retail at the street. Service behind.
The design
A glazed frontage gives the motorcycle display a direct presence on the main road. Inside, customer discussion and reception share the retail floor, while a mezzanine accommodates finance and insurance desks overlooking the showroom below.
The workshop sits behind the showroom. A side lane leads to the service entrance, reception, customer lounge and bike wash, giving servicing a route of its own. Service bays and support rooms occupy the deeper part of the building.
Workshop accommodation continues on the first floor, with parts, repair and support spaces. A bike lift and stairs connect the two commercial levels. The plan brings customer-facing rooms, vehicle movement and back-of-house work into one long building.
APAS led architectural design, approval coordination and construction supervision for the mixed-use project. The ground and first-floor commercial spaces were handed over in June 2023. The upper residential floors remain a separate handover stage in the project record; the full-building visualisation is shown as a design proposal.
Images & views
Photographs from the APAS archive record the commercial interiors and frontage in May 2023. The full-building visualisation is identified separately and includes the upper residential accommodation.
The architectural drawings
Two portfolio plans explain the commercial ground and first-floor layouts. Numbered keys identify the main spaces; the north arrows follow the original drawing compass. Area tables give the available source figures and approximate areas calculated from clearly labelled dimensions. Select a plan to enlarge it.

| 01Showroom zone · display, discussion and reception | Approx. 810 sq ft |

Approximate space areas are calculated from the dimensions explicitly labelled in the archive layout; they describe nominal zones, not certified carpet or built-up measurements. Support rooms sit within the broader workshop zones, so these rows must not be added together. Separate floor built-up totals are not stated on this sheet. The project summary records a 4,430 sq ft commercial component. Stair and forecourt areas are not inferred.

Approximate space areas are calculated from the dimensions explicitly labelled in the archive layout; they describe nominal zones, not certified carpet or built-up measurements. Support rooms sit within the broader workshop zones, so these rows must not be added together. Separate floor built-up totals are not stated on this sheet. The project summary records a 4,430 sq ft commercial component. The showroom void is open to the floor below, not additional usable floor area. Toilet areas await the site revision noted in the source.
Adapted from the archive sheet dated 19 October 2022. The source marks toilet layouts for site revision; these portfolio plans do not certify the final as-built arrangement. Dimension strings and sensitive technical details are omitted. Not to scale or for construction.
