SITE PLAN
BUILDING DESIGN
By giving the ‘L’shape configuration the width of the floor Plate is reduced for
the same amount of floor plate area thereby allowing natural light to
penetrate deep into the ‘interior spaces
The building is a composition of three parts.
Two office wings are held together by a central atrium that as an ensemble
creates a large L-shaped figure focused on an exterior landscaped court.
The L-shape blocking ensures that part of the façade is always shaded.
The L-shape office wings end into hexagonal ends that make a very strong
presence on the approach roads.
The atrium joins the different functions of the building and connects them
into an ensemble encouraging a sense of community and interaction.
The octagonal atrium has side light from the top to provide a glare – free
natural lighting in the interior without allowing direct heat gain from the
roof.
Interior roller shades to reduce Heat gain
USE OF MATERIAL
Over 10% of our construction material, such
as glass, ceramic tiles, steel and aluminium,
used in the building are recycled.
There are storage bins on every floor of ITC
Green Centre for recyclable materials like
paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metals,
affirming commitment to ‘reduce, reuse and
recycle’ and making it a point of everyday
practice.

DESIGN INTENT
High energy efficiency of the façade
with optimum light transmission
On the Northern side, the glass
solution was required to give a
higher light transmission due to the
orientation of the building.
The Green Building norms
emphasize on daylight (natural
lighting) and unrestricted vision as
they both are linked to human
health and productivity. Glass is
the only material which can help to
achieve these requirements.
