Located at the entrance of the 400-acre Uttorayon Township, the City
Centre attempts to create a much-needed, organized commercial
district for the city of Siliguri. It is positioned as an interface between
the township and the city that envisages a new destination for the local
community and emerges as an urban landscape in between the offices
and commercial components of the master plan.
This family entertainment centre is a judicious mix of retail, F&B
outlets, entertainment areas; children’s play areas and a large
4-screen multiplex. The structure sits on a large podium with
multiple entrance ways allowing easy circulation for the people
coming in.
The visibility to all retail segments has been enhanced by the
use of a large central atrium space which also serves as a multi-
function arena for other associated activities.
Vertical circulation is organized
with escalators enhancing
accessibility to all levels of the
centre. The centre consists of retail
spaces in diverse sizes ranging
from small kiosks to a large
hypermarket interspersed with
various restaurants and cafes as
breakout spaces.
Apart from these, there is
also a dedicated space
enclosing a large food court
area. Open leisure areas have
been attached to these
spaces with other
entertainment zones
providing video gaming, a
bowling alley, and other
indoor adventures. The
development is complete with
a large modern 4-screen
multiplex cinema.
There is a unique artistic theme that is
manifest in the various spaces of the
mall in the form of sculpted artworks on
the inner and outer façade of the
building. The large atrium space forms
the hub of the development with spines
running across on one side and the
courtyards on the other.
Each floor has been provided with break-out spaces in the
form of landscaped terraces. The buildings have been so
designed that the largeness of the program never
assumes daunting proportions. In keeping with the
traditional Indian schema of high streets and porous
spaces, the centre breaks down into a complex of well
scaled structures offering maximum interface to the users.
