Maker Towne, Mumbai
Maker Maxity, Bandra-Kurla, Mumbai
Client: Maker DevelopmentsStatus: Built Size: 10,76,000 sq ft | 20 acres
Large mixed-use campus style development in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla complex: It is surrounded by mangroves on two sides and this setting provides ample views which are optimized in the design proposal. Also, Mumbai experiences torrential rain which hampers even basic municipal services, directly affecting the way of life. The site was analyzed for high flood levels in the area, especially since it was close to the river bed, to negate the effects of flooding.
Design to optimize panoramic views: Facilities provided include five office blocks, a mall cum multiplex/entertainment and a drive in theatre. Originally the site used to be a drive-in theatre and hence, that function had to be maintained as a part of the design brief. With the unusual advantage of panoramic views, Hotels, Serviced Apartments, Club and Condominiums were included in the program.The functional zoning of the design scheme is based on the relationship between the office, mall and hotel, with the hotel being central to both. Proximity to the mall adds to the experience of both the office and hotel-goers and makes for a well integrated mixed use scheme.

GYS Vision, Gurgaon
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.

Benefits of rotating the floor-plate:
Every third office floor-plate, approxi-mately 1200 sq m in area, has a dedi-cated double-height terrace measuring approximately 450 sq m
Section through the Iconic tower:
Sky-terraces encourage interaction by outdoor living
Methodology:
Rotating 3 floor component by 90� gives rise to double height terraces at every third floor. These terraces spiral through the tower creating visual dy-namics in the built volume.

ITC Mixed-Use Development, Kolkata
Location, Context and Brief: This project site sits on the periphery of Kolkata in an area which is being developed to deal with the pressures of the highly dense and urbanized city. The Campus includes various components- Hotel and Convention Centre, Residential, Offices, IT Park & Knowledge Centre.
Design inspiration: Kolkata has a very strong cultural heritage: the Bengali script is very rich, art, tradition of sculpture to date remain vibrant components of Bengali culture. One of the primary decisions taken very early on was to use the Bengali cultural context as the primary guiding principle of design.
Environmental Analysis: The extremely warm and humid climate is the key issue in Kolkata. A thorough climate analysis, particularly around wind-flows, defined the generation of our own microclimate on the site using passive mechanisms. With the predominant wind direction being northsouth, it defined the location of the pedestrian spine running through the middle of the site. This central spine is the primary source of interaction between various components of this highly permeable site. The spine is articulated as an open air museum with sculptures, and various sorts of art installations, which will then act as a central interaction platform for all users on the site.

Business Park, Dhaka
Prime context in suburban Dhaka: Located in a prime business zone, only a few kilometres away from the Dhaka International Airport, is the trapezoidal site. The complex was intended to be rented out to prime multinational corporate brands & thus the design has ample allowance for flexible building services & BMS. The design also takes care of incremental growth made possible by gradual generation of revenue.
Creation of an Internal Microclimate: Considering the hot & humid climate of Dhaka, and the immense annual rainfall, it was imperative that the volumes of the phased development create an internalized microclimate.
An Oasis guarded all around by Fort enwrapped in a screen Purdah: The entire built mass is envisioned to be screened off on east & west sides with a contemporized interpretation of the traditional Islamic mesh screen. Built mass is retained on the East-West orientations and a central courtyard running through North-South allowing for wind circulation is carved off the total massing. A series of interconnected building volumes that stagger off as arms of the main edge buildings allow for individual terrace spill outs.

Business Club, Gurgaon
Flexible spaces for a Multi-tenant Building: The space configuration was planned to offer flexibil-ity ranging from single, dual to multitenant sce-nario. In addition to the office building, the brief extended to the creation of spill out spaces for activities such as the gym, club and retail. These activities become an integral part of the design by contributing actively to the branding of the project as a Business Club.
Tower morphology to ensure sufficient Space Planning: The complex is envisaged as three tow-ers that are connected to a single common core. This offers the flexibility of taking two or more wings on the same floor. It enables a single ten-ant the flexibility of not only horizontal but also vertical occupancy spread over multiple floors. The built volume is differentiated in heights over the three towers, spiraling in a manner to maxi-mize the frontage from the 60 mt wide road as well as the 24 mt wide sector road.
Breakout spaces to create unique volumes: To enhance this volume each block is spliced into two, with varying heights to give the building its unique element of spill out areas in the form of terraces at multiple levels. The technique of mul-tiple wings helps in breaking down the volume and making the building like a complex rather than a singular monolithic structure.

Client: Uppal Housing Status: Built Size: 94,000 sq ft | 1 acre
Location: Located in Gurgaon, the office hub in the suburbs of New Delhi, the building moves away from the typical office typology, provides an alternative with interweaving open social spaces, and closed workspaces.
The design brief: The design merges the pro-grammatic requirements of a business centre with the environmental concerns that are of criti-cal importance in today’s context. The design is envisaged with two types of informal spaces- one at the public level and another at the individual office level. The Ground Floor is designed to be a recreational, informal meeting space. A passive cooling strategy is adopted through the creation of water bodies, and allowing for built mass only on two sides and the remaining two sides are left open to allow for wind movement.
The environmental issues: Each floor plate is 15m wide to allow for daylight penetration. The use of post-tensioned beams allows for the crea-tion of column-free spaces, permitting maximum flexibility. The East and West sun are blocked off with the help of solid stone walls. The two long sides: North and South are provided with glazing and punctures respectively.

A mixed-use development to optimize ground coverage: The development consists of retail shops, restaurants & office floor plates. One of the key objectives of the design was to utilize the available ground coverage as far as possible along with the complete FAR, accommodating the required retail area in an amalgam of the ‘High Street’ & ‘Mall’ strategies.
An iconic office tower to provide high visibility: Another salient feature of the design was the landscape spill out for restaurant and food courts at the second floor terrace. The project is anchored by an Iconic Office Tower (70m height) providing high-visibility to the entire development.

An interctive Mixed Use Development in the Heart of the city: Situated on a triangular site on the Delhi - Gurgaon Border with close proximity to the Airport, the design presents an opportu-nity to generate a mixed-use scheme for offices, retail and serviced apartments. The intent is to arrange a series of blocks that direct a creative in-teraction between the buildings and the people, in order to enhance spatial and visual permeabil-ity across the site; a network of routes that con-verge on a central plaza at the heart of the site.
Urban Edge and Character: Various site condi-tions help to derive the form to generate a tri-angular band that is fragmented to provide ac-cess to the central spaces, whilst adding porosity to the form. Three main building blocks are ar-ranged around the central plaza in the form of three strips, consisting of retail, offices and ser-viced apartments.
Environmental Strategy: Adopted to allow for the central open plaza to be shaded from the scorch-ing summer sun, hence propagating its usability.

City Centre, Siliguri
An interface between the township & the city: Located at the entrance of the 400-acre Uttorayon Township, the City Centre attempts to create a much-needed, organized commercial district for the city of Siliguri. This family entertainment centre is a judicious mix of retail, F&B outlets, entertainment areas; children’s play areas and a large 4-screen multiplex. An urban landscape: The structure sits on a large podium with multiple entranceways allowing easy circulation for the people coming in. The visibility to all retail segments has been enhanced by the use of a large central atrium space which also serves as a multi-function arena for other associated activities.
Artistic theme manifested in various spaces: in the form of sculpted artworks on the inner and outer façade of the building. The large atrium space forms the hub of the development with spines running across on one side and the courtyards on the other.

The Reliance Mall, New Delhi
A commercial project amidst a prime residential area: Situated in a plot area of 3.77 acre, the mall is surrounded by residential buildings and a school. The design brief is to generate a mixed use scheme for hyper market, retail and office areas.
Efficient retail space designed with a passive environmental strategy: The building is evolved by having a rectangular block which is mainly the hypermarket connected to an oval retail block. The lower two floors of the mall are divided into two parts having hypermarket and retail, whereas the upper two floors have offices. The middle two floors have anchor shops, retail, restaurants and food courts catering to their requirements of public amenities. The retail areas are mostly air conditioned having an enclosed atrium at the centre, whereas the office floors above are naturally ventilated having a courtyard. The façade of the building has mainly vertical stone cladding bands and structural glazing.

The Metropolitan, Gurgaon
India’s first Large format Mall as a Landmark: ‘The Metropolitan’, the first large format enclosed mall in north India was an opportunity to create a landmark designed as a large local attractor catering to the demands of the rapidly emerging township in Gurgaon. It was considered essential to incorporate an Indian essence and yet respond to the technological, functional and commercial demands.
Designed as being analogous to the Bazaar: The design program which included a multiplex and a food court in addition to retail was seen as ideal to create an urban activity center analogous to the role of the bazaar in a traditional city. A large forecourt, landscaped and paved in granite, leads pedestrians into the mall. This forecourt is designed to be a space for events, to recreate traditional street culture and to be an urban meeting space. The forecourt leads on through a frameless glazed wall into the internal space of the mall. This allows the connection between the exterior event space and the atrium to be visually and functionally maintained, and the transition to occur imperceptibly.

PVR Forum, Bengaluru
Client: PVR Status: Built Size: 90,000 sq ft
Creating a landmark in the Multiplex Typology: As one of the largest multiplexes in India, the PVR Bengaluru comprises of eleven screens; the PVR at The Forum showcases a variety of cinematic and hospitality spaces. The challenge was to de-sign three types of cinemas and the associated lounges, foyers, access foyers and utilities in dif-ferent enough ways for them to stand apart from each other while still maintaining them as parts of a whole. The manifestations are different but ideology is overriding.
Design features are anti-thesis of conventional cinema design: A vast atrium was inherited with the building, which was flooded with light from a skylight; both these design features are anti-thesis of conventional cinema design. The design solution was to create a layered sequencing in terms of light quality. A buffer along both sides was created which provided sequential exposure and created the opportunity to step down light gradually and step up the colour saturation ac-cordingly. Colour saturation has been used as a strategy to enhance the swank technicolour im-aging and movie information systems that are provided in the cinema space.

Centra Mall, Chandigarh
Urbanized Development within Chandigarh: The Centra Mall is located in the Industrial Sector and a high accessibility area with excellent linkages from the airport, railway station and the residen-tial and institutional areas of the city.
Reverse the traditional box-type morphology for malls: The design intent for the mall has two pre-dominant aspects viz. the socio-cultural aspect and the environmental strategy. The approach has been to reverse the traditional box-type mor-phology for malls by opening up the box instead, towards the site context and surroundings. An atrium along the premium road access helps to attain the public disposition, whilst maintaining the mall typology.
Transaparency to Ensure Visibility: The retail shops and the entertainment block face the atri-um and its transparent nature allows visibility of all the shops from the road. The building is ori-ented along North-South to optimize the built form orientation with glazing predominantly re-stricted to the North side.
