Standing Out in a Crowd

Most of the architecture that surrounds us today has become a sort of background noise – noticed only when it is exceptionally good. When we look around, do we notice the box-shaped edifices that existed in the past, or that one building that irks our imagination?

The answer is clear. A structure that speaks through its design, this project reinforces the term ‘standing out in a crowd’. The architects wanted to create a building that was not only striking to look at but also one that was very functional.

Redefining the perception of skyscrapers, the project is a concept influenced by the free body movements of a female ballet dancer, standing tall. The swift dialogue exchange between two ballerinas while dancing depicts the dynamism of the building while respecting nature. Inspiration has also been taken from flowing water, cutting its way through rocks to make deep valleys, thus depicting fluidity merged with strength. Apart from adding a sense of buoyancy, the building incorporates the client’s logo in a three-dimensional form, both vertically as well as horizontally, hence repositioning the client’s identity.
