My journey in Architecture has given me new perspective to perceive things through different lenses. It has helped me to observe things at micro level. It has given me a platform to turn my imagination to a reality through my skills & ability. I have always tried to connect people with spaces as people make spaces come alive. My eagerness to learn new skills & to contribute towards various things have helped me to broaden my experience.

The central court houses an amphitheater that acts as an informal gathering.It also provides the ventilation inside the building.
The various levels of terraces also have planters which reduces the heat exchanges and heat flow between the structure and the outside environment hence acts as a good insulation.
Openings have been designed such that requirement of artificial is minimal throughout the day when the building is under maximum usage.
By creating atrium spaces with skylights, the section of the building is such that natural light enters into the building, considerably reducing the dependence on artificial lighting.
The building has been designed with green balconies at various levels.These balconies help to boosts the working environment as well as enhance the micro climate with the structure.
