The project brief was to design a headquarter for a national political party of our choice. The program included both public and private spaces. Private spaces were accessible to only the members of the party. The Design of the headquarters must reflect an ambiance conducive to securely conducting political business, rallies, meetings, etc yet being transparent to public interaction.

The design concept was inspired by the phrase ‘unity in diversity’. This was translated into the design in the form of different 3-D geometries such as cylinders, cones, cuboids, etc to form a consolidated mass as a whole.

The central courtyard subtly separates the private and public sections from each other. The conical-shaped roof in the foyer bringing skylight depicts the transparency between the political party and the public. Further, the terraced green roofs bring more sunlight and ventilation along with opening the facade for more views of the scenic ocean views.
