The double
storied building is a showcase of the architect’s cumulative theories of design
and incorporates most of the salient features of his architecture such as, strict
geometric order, symmetry, clarity in structural systems and services, use of
contemporary materials and technology, emphasis on natural lighting and
ventilation, less use of glass, user friendly architecture etc.
The porch, entrance hall,
voluminous lobby at ground floor, and central circulation area at first floor
have been creatively designed not only to serve the functional aspect but also
to add grandeur and cheerfulness to the central core. A free standing helical
staircase leading from ground floor to terrace acts as a beauty spot in the
double height lobby.
The strict geometrical order in the arrangement
of various spaces, structural components, services and other elements eco the
Kahnian architectonics. The plan of this building is also based on the
principles of symmetry. Architect feels that the human mind-set is more
receptive to symmetrical objects, as symmetry is encountered everywhere – in
nature, engineering, arts and science.
