HIGH, YET GROUNDED.

A steep sloping site, facing the west presented a unique challenge for the design of the Malabar Group Headquarters at
Calicut, in the tropical context of Kerala, India. The design is resolved as a series of levels along the contours which reduces
the intervention on site to a minimum. Landscaping is an integral part of the design, working symbiotically with the architecture
to create spaces which are one with nature.
