The challenge was to design an office building that would nestle among the hot and dry climate and continue to remain connected to the neighboring SS manufacturing unit. It's a linear structure, in deference to a 12-mt width limit mandated by the city bye-laws. The facades are expressed as strong concrete expanses, whose brutalist flavour is alleviated by ribbed texture with built-in lighting and Galvanume sheets as cladding. Together, the industrial combination is a nod to the adjacent metal manufacturing unit and brings the office building closer to its neighbor in spirit and physicality.
