Located at the city’s major cross-roads, the architecture of the building aims to create an ambitious landmark that would endorse the value system of the company. Among the many core values were those to create an environment to “work, live, learn, explore and evolve “. The planning works towards giving an interactive and collaborative work culture driven by knowledge sharing. In doing the above a series of flexible spaces were developed. A technology driven agenda was set for making a self-sufficient building that contributes to the society and shapes the next generation of buildings. Sharp angles of the facades are carved out using glazed and opaque faces. The glazed facades work with strip members, brick tones and angles to break its monotony, while the stark plain textures of the blank facade supports the embossed company logo.
