However DUAC was quite rigid and put restrictions on using glass on the whole façade. We prepared various options and elevations for convincing the authorities and getting approvals. Non functional ventilation scheme was inspected a few times before releasing NOC and the central court and atrium were partially covered without any loss of FAR. The project took 5 years from 2011 to 2016 from sanction to completion. Deviations from lease agreement, regarding footprint, took time for approval and construction delays due to soil & rock condition and coordination issues between the client, the primary architects and the contractor, also ate away valuable time.
A space to connect.
Central atrium cladded with transparent glass and flying birds going high.
