Polycab EC is located in Halol – the industrial hub of Gujarat, close to Vadodara. The project aims to bring 3 primary programs– a corporate office, Experience center, and auditorium under one sustainable roof for the client who is one of India’s largest cable manufacturers. The geometry of the building intends to protect the existing trees on site. The auditorium floats above an atrium, connecting the office zone and experience center, while the atrium connects to the factory behind. The double block configuration self-shades the central landscape court, while the conference room as a bridge connects the two blocks across the court. The Basement G+ 3 storey office block houses the employees and amenities. The experience center houses a museum of the company’s exhibits and conference facilities. The auditorium is accessible from both spaces.

The imagery of boats and the sea are the features of the building, and the view outside the glass box-like building is a natural sea view.
Tallgrass prairie once covered over 150 million acres of North America. Today, less than 4% of this unique ecosystem remains, with the majority being in the Kansas Flint Hills. The subsurface of the Flint Hills was formed over 250 million years ago and is composed primarily of distinct layers of limestone and shale. Shallow, rocky soils made the land mostly unsuitable for farming and challenging for development, effectively preserving the natural state of the tallgrass ecosystem, its unique wildlife, and its characteristic expansive, rolling views in perpetuity.
