Located in Ahmedabad, the cultural and economic centre of Gujarat, the corporate office of Monte Carlo has been designed to embrace the heritage of the city. The striking design of the building encapsulates the essence of the reputed infrastructure company, seamlessly intertwined with the traditionally sensitive design narrative of the city of Ahmedabad. The contemporary structure has been fabricated whilst preserving the intrinsic historic essence of its context.
Spread over a sumptuous area of 0.60 acres, the 38m X 61m parcel of land served as the site for the project. The site was strategically located abutting a 36m wide road. The conception of the form unveiled through optimising existing site conditions to maintain appropriate road frontage and allowing future road widening along the building frontage. The site situated along the East-West axis necessitated climate-responsive design interventions and sensitive zoning. The building orientation has been optimised to minimise the permeation of heat gain into the interior spaces. The angular configuration of the building has been tactically conceived to capture vibrant and panoramic exterior views whilst limiting the exposure to glare from the South facade. By screening the Northern and Eastern sides of the building and orienting the primary façade towards Northeast, diffused and glarefree daylight has been manoeuvred into the interior spaces. The form of the building has been perceived as a response to accommodate the prevailing wind pattern of the area as a dynamic design element.
