A new headquarters tower for an Ahmedabad publishing group
The Gala Infra Office Headquarters, a 40,000m² office and retail tower on a prominent highway location in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Gala Group’s a new headquarters will have green space and sustainable interventions throughout.
40,000m²
Two curved plates, one slender tower
The single tower is composed as two offset curved plates, splitting the massing into a pair of slender forms and increasing the perimeter of high-value window-seat positions across the office floors. Three levels of retail at grade are organised below the office volumes, with separate drop-off points for office and retail users so the two arrival sequences remain distinct. A tall central atrium connects the retail entrance to the office levels above, threaded with extruded green breakout spaces that interrupt the verticality and place planted social moments at multiple heights.
A tower designed to bring the outdoors inside
Bridges crossing the atrium connect the office floors with a strong architectural gesture, holding the building’s identity in section as much as in plan. Rooftop sky gardens and terraces give the upper floors generous outdoor space with views across the city. Façade textures and materials are calibrated to a warm, earthy palette, with ascending landscape elements drawing the planted realm up the building from the ground. The result will read as a tower that holds public, planted and working space within a single coherent composition.
