Creation
Sector V – IT ITES SEZ
Pramod decided not to restrict himself anddesign a stereotypical glass enveloped ITbuilding. Instead he created green workspaceswith brick cladded walls, large terraces andbalconies, over looking the landscaped urbanplaza and the golf course.
The desire to create a working environment that allowed for the
sun to come in, feel it go behind the clouds while you worked. One
that gave you spaces to walk out into and be part of the celebration.– Pramod Balakrishnan
