The Factory and Office complex takes a holistic approach to architectural design by integrating energy conservation, occupant participation and economic performance as part of the building life-cycle to make it truly sustainable. A green roofscape composed of staggered undulating berms dominates the site - nothing is more welcoming than lush greenery in the harsh climate of the plains of north India. The low builtup requirement resulted in a built form and landscape shaped by laminar flow. The design of the complex is a marriage of traditional berming techniques and contemporary technology to achieve sustainability. The design transcends the established program by looking at how environmental design can be demonstrative in terms of performance, production, and community building. The design cuts across social strata to engage the occupantsto not only fully enjoy the physical site but also gain a stake in the built environment.
