Project: New Integrated Terminal Building, Vadodara Airport, Vadodara, Gujarat
An Energy-Efficient Design

India as a country is passing through a transition, and there has been a lot of infrastructure growth to be visualized as a phase of evolution from developing into a developed nation. A lot of talks have been going on in the recent past to upgrade our towns and cities into smart cities and adopt strategies of sustainable development for overall futuristic growth.

Designing energy-efficient terminals that have a long-lasting effect on the environment and passengers alike is the definition for new-age terminal designs, a sphere that intersects with the criteria for sustainable development. The large expansive public concourse within an airport terminal assists to alleviate a passenger’s sense of being crowded while still accommodating the flow of arrival, departing and connecting passengers.

Justifiably, Creative Group, since its very inception, aimed to be a change agent to transform India’s image by consistently moving forward with the philosophy that “A built form should not be treated as a dead mass of brick and concrete, but as a living organism which breathes and is embodied with the natural environment.” An architecture firm, in practice for almost half a century, setting up a tone to cater for not just design but also including a broad base in structural consultancy and financial management, for varied spectrum of projects of national and international significance, the architects have set an archetype for the next generation.
