Redefining the typical office typology: The design brief called for a commercial development comprising of three high-rise corporate office towers, in one of the prime suburbs of New Delhi. The scheme was developed as a response to reinterpret the typical Indian office typology as spaces being laid out horizontally on the ground.

An iconic office development with public space for users: Two key components are the office towers and an expansive landscape zone that doubles up as a public space for the users. This was achieved by stacking the office module vertically, in order to free up the ground to help the user engage with the environment while creating a variety of experiential spaces within a landscaped public realm.

Passive design that redefines office design: The amalgamation of design principles and environmental imperatives helps to envisage a scheme, which responds to its urban setting and complex program in a visually aesthetic manner within the contemporary Indian work culture paradigm.
