Initially, the complex was envisioned as a single built volume with interconnected zones of activity at multiple levels, a maze in 3D, and connections to the site surroundings through bridges that plug-in the neighborhood to the complex. Following the initial thought, the response to the surroundings helped dictate the parameters for further development of the design.

The design intent was to provide a street-like retail environment on the ground floor level by maximising the built surface exposed to the streets, both internal and external, thereby resulting in higher ground coverage. A central public open space would serve as the only anchor on the site, by which to orient oneself within the complex. The internal streets would pass through zones of variable size, scale and degrees of enclosure.

The site zoning has been planned keeping the edge characteristics in mind. The South and the West edges of the site are major arterial roads through the Saket neighbourhood. Therefore, an attempt has been made to provide a continuous edge of retail along the road with adequate setback for a two level( covered and open) pedestrian walkway.

Receding built forms have been created, resulting in stepping terraces, which not only ensures a built-open interaction on the roofs, but links all terraces to create multiple level open spaces connected by the first floor.

Convention functions have been placed on the North and East edge of the site, and are seperated from the rest of the site by an internal road with a didicated vehicular drop off, which also caters to the Automated Multi Level Car Parking.

The First Floor walkway connecting all the buildings on the site was continued along the South and the West external faces to provide diffused light to the spaces inside and minimize heat gains.

The eastern built form enclosing the central open space was omitted, to open out the central court towards the parking structure on the East, providing views of the ‘Machine at Work’, and creating an internal Main Entrance, suitable for visitors commuting via private vehicles.

The built form maintains a retail street edge along the South and West directions. The facades have been treated with vertical and horizontal louvered screens respectively along the external walkways, which incorporate an interactive display for advertisements, thereby creating a lively 'ever changing' building facade.
