Prihan Tower

A daylit office, set back from the street.

AECS Layout, Electronic City, Bangalore · 2015 · 9,550 sq ft

Most buildings in Bangalore press up to the road. We set Prihan Tower back, which keeps dust out of the offices and leaves a small planted forecourt that makes arriving feel different. Shops sit at street level, bright open workspaces above, and a partly covered terrace on top where people can step out and see the city. Electronic City is hot, so every facade was studied for light without heat: insulated glass, shaded windows, an insulated roof, and solar panels for the common areas. Tenants get lower running costs and a workplace that does not feel like every other box on the road.
