Pixxel Aerospace
As clean as the satellites it builds.
HBR Layout, Bangalore · 2023 · 50,000 sq ft built · Site 35,300 sq ft
Pixxel builds satellites that photograph the Earth from space, so its home had to be as precise as the satellites. We turned an existing building into a 50,000 sq ft facility with a 20,000 sq ft ISO-certified cleanroom. Here a single dust particle can ruin the work, so every material, air route and surface was chosen to keep things clean. Around the cleanroom sit mission control, flexible offices for a young, growing team, and a top-floor lounge and town hall looking over Bangalore. Reworking an old building to space-industry standards is the harder problem. It is also the more interesting one. We designed and built it, so one team stood behind every detail. Precision is not a sector. It is a standard.
