This building is one of the finest examples of the perfect integration of Architecture, Infrastructure and Digital Science. This building has a very peculiar design which makes it discreet and distinguished in the world of architecture. It has definitely set a benchmark of excellence in the field of construction. The building is designed by DSP Design, which is a classic example of a modern commercial complex accommodating more than 1500 employees. Throughout the construction it reflects the values of the company. Spreading across an area of 200,000 square feet, it is divided in two blocks, the Development and Corporate blocks. These blocks are linked by a common entrance and reception area to make a deliberate attempt to retain the connectivity. With the stay-cable technology used in the corporate block, it has become a structural icon, complemented by the three-sided building, unique glass facade of point fixed glazing. The six storied curvilinear façade is complemented by the system of glazing with an expanding floor plate, replicating the profile of a ship. This unique design element has eliminated the need for columns inside the building, creating more space within the interiors and maximizing the usable space ratio of the building.
