Natural light plays an elemental role in the design, starting from the grand atrium, which is flooding with light and exudes a sense of serenity reminiscent of India's cultural heritage, to the workfloors in the building.

The addition of symbolic elements, like the entrance steps and library shelves, reflect a deep sense of ownership and pride for the occupants and inhabitants of the space. Each floor's lobby showcases a unique design language, with reception desks transformed into distinctive statement pieces. In essence, this architectural masterpiece is more than just an office-it's a living testament to the seamless integration of practicality and aesthetic brilliance.
