World Bank New Delhi Office

New Delhi, India

The office building occupies a sensitive site, and the intent of the design is to situate the building within the context of an Indo-Islamic past, while maintaining a modern vocabulary. The barrel vaults on the roof accentuate the conference rooms underneath, emphasise the axis and compliment the curves of the nearby domes. The beige sandstone cladding is offset with pink sandstone. Abstract patterns are important feature of the design.
