Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) can be visualized as brutal glass offices filled with people in the day and eerily empty streets at night. The chaotic life in BKC requires a break point, hence PAUSE becomes the concept of this mixed use development. A new Hub of Activity creates both a new gateway into the city and a new civic destination, such that it is truly a live, work, play ecosystem. The public Plaza thus provides with a pause and also incorporates the nuance of the concept, ‘Eyes on the streets’ by Jane Jacob, at night.
