Architecture+DesignSummary: The project is located on Bellary Road, which leads on to the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. The office-cum-retail building is equidistant from the city centre and the airport. The building programme was aimed at mixed-use format, allowing for quality retail on the lower floors and office spaces on the upper floors.
The design on the project started in 2009. At the crux of all design ideas was the creation of a simple, functional and responsive building that was not only efficient and sensitive to its surroundings, but also a piece of iconic architecture that reflected the city in spirit.
Located on a trapezoidal site, the building takes on the shape of the site to maximise the usable areas. The design intent to provide functional and usable rectangular floor plates for offices resulted in the triangular extensions on building rear forming circulation and service cores on all floors, and on front as podium of lower retail floors.
While the building form took cues from both the needs of the preferred rectilinear floor plate as well as the angular site lines, the built form is imagined as a metaphor of a sailing ship.
