A master planned community located in Central Noida has been designed on a fifty-acre site. Tall, thirty-storey buildings surround a lush green garden reminiscent of Central Park in New York City. Villas front the project, while the high-rises form the backdrop. A total of 22 high-rise buildings forms the bulk of the project. A free-formed clubhouse breaks the linearity and forms the focal point of the project.
The Forbes Headquarters, located in Wagholi – Pune, is a 3 Million Sqft, 100 M tall commercial tower – located in a master-planned township, designed by GA.
The linear site dictated a building that is very slender. With only 30 M width available, the floor plates were carefully designed to allow natural light from east and west and yet cut down glare and direct exposure. The use of horizontal fins at floor and ceiling assist solar shading. The use of light shelves ensured deeper natural light penetration into office spaces, ensuring a healthy working space. The building columns are transferred to a Y shaped columns at the podium level to reduce visual clutter in public spaces.
The core and refuge areas are located at the edge of the building to the east side allows reduction of the overall glass perimeter. Energy and daylight analysis were also done to optimize the glass envelope.
