Built on a tight plot with marginal open spaces that were completely concretised, the project makes the best use of the site to accommodate the basic requirements of green building systems, achieving a five-star GEM rating from the ASSOCHAM Council.

The implementation of GRC panels as cladding allows substantial amount of daylight and airflow in enclosed spaces while shielding users from external weather conditions, resulting in minimising the need for mechanical ventilation and lighting.
