This prestigious project is designed to bring all group business of a large Indian multinational company under one roof from their multiple locations within Ahmedabad, India. The Building has been meticulously designed reflecting the client’s aspiration for a sustainable workplace of international standards scoring IGBC platinum rating.
The Site is located along the junction of SG highway and outer Ring road of Ahmedabad with efficient connectivity to main city, state capital – Gandhinagar as well as the airport.
Design Principle
With a primary aim to create an environment friendly workspace and incorporating global design standards, the concept aims to achieve continuous integration of outdoor and indoor spaces. Responding to the hot and semi-arid climate of the city, the building is set at the south edge of the site.
The foreground flows into a triple heighted grand atrium visually dissecting the building vertically as well as horizontally achieving continuity of space up to top floor. The grand atrium with its skylights and point fixed Northern glazed facade provides spatial quality that achieves global branding of the company. Segregated entry is provided for the staff and owners whilst both achieving the atrium experience.

Components
Sustainability through advanced technology
The building is enclosed from the east and west side through back ventilated terracotta facade systems that radically reduce the daytime heat gain while maintaining the glazing towards the north side. Thermal energy storage (TES) system is integrated to store night time cooling for daytime utilization leading to low energy consumption for HVAC.
Sewage treatment plant are provided to efficiently treat waste water. Rain water harvesting systems are integrated to utilize rainwater for flushing and recharge the ground water table.The building is designed to achieve platinum rating as per IGBC.
Landscape
The foreground landscape acts as the first point of visual connect that leaves a lasting impression and its approach towards nature and its diverse elements. A linear water body along the 100m length of the foreground is designed to create a mini promenade. Eloquent sculptures and bubbler jets are provided to create a soothing micro climate. Sustainable features include rain water harvesting, septic tanks and indigenous trees.
