An iconic landmark building adjacent to the busiest Ring Road of Delhi it sits on a prime commercial plot in South-Ex. This project sets new standards in design, construction and alteration to an already existing structure. Destined to become a landmark in South Ex, the building is designed with a luxurious head office for The Mahajan Group of Industries at the third and fourth levels with a high-end commercial brand outlet- Lacoste- at the ground, first and partial second levels.
With its solid structure and heavy façade already in place since years, a retrofitting scheme was presented retaining the necessary RCC structure with insertions of metal structure to support the new glass façade. The design required to minimalize the existing solidity and maximize the visual impact of the building. The heavy vertical louvers were replaced with light glass fins and spider fitted glass façade to increase the transparency of the building allowing natural light to penetrate. A retrofitting scheme was prepared by retaining the required R.C.C Structure. Additional metal structure was added to the existing structure to uphold the new façade. The existing structure was strong enough to withhold a new design in plan and elevation.
