The lower four levels accommodate the parking and service areas, with an interesting pattern of terracotta jaalis and greenery on
the façade to provide screening from the harsh western sun. Office spaces rise up from the large landscaped podium above this,
which serve as the main entry level. The podium level is accessed through an interestingly designed bridge and has thoughtfully
done landscaping which help create a sense of arrival. To take advantage of the wonderful views all around, the office areas are
designed as transparent open plans and rise up four floors above the podium. Responding to the sloping site, the office spaces
are resolved as two separate blocks with a green landscape spine in between.
