The building
has been conceived and designed as a corporate office with an expression of an
iconic structure. The simple and elegant, bold and beautiful building is in
tune with the latest trends in office architecture
The built form is modernistic in character
and ingeniously evolved with a pleasant blend of symmetrical plan, staggering
blocks, overlapping masses, bold and bare facades in monochromatic finish, play
of solids and voids, and light and shade. The internal ambience too has been
enlivened with variations in height and volumes, abundance of natural light,
and design of some physical features particularly the oval-shaped staircase
passing through a voluminous stair-well. Being open on all sides, the interiors
draw adequate natural light through judiciously placed fenestrations. Most of the
office areas have been located to face the best orientation that is north-east
and south-east. Glazing facing the south-east side is well protected by deep
verandah which also acts as transitional space between outside and inside. To
further protect the interiors from summer heat, all the blank surfaces
incorporate cavity walls. The final outcome of the building form is thus a
combination of modernity in function and finishes, and traditionality in
harnessing the climate, and making it energy efficient.
