• LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, ON THE CORNER OF

KASTURBA ROAD AND VITTAL MALLAYA ROAD.
• ABOUT 2KMS FROM MG ROAD-BRIGADE ROAD JUNCTION.
TYPE OF LAND USE: MIXED USE
HIGH RISED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
• THE MAIN IDEA IS TO REDUCE DISTANCES BETWEEN HOUSING WORK PLACES,

RETAIL BUSSINESS, AND OTHER AMENITIES AND DESTINATION.
• MORE COMPACT DEVELOPMENT.
• IT GIVES A STRONG NEIGHBOURHOOD CHARACTER AND A BETTER SENSE OF
PLACE.
• THE DISTANCES ARE WALKABLE OR BIKEABLE NEIGHBOURHOODS,
THEREFORE INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY VIA TRANSIT RESULTING IN REDUCED
TRANSPORTATION COST, LESS POLLUTION AND TIME SAVING .
CIRCULATION AND
CONNECTIVITY
• THE HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION INCLUDES THE VERY OBVIOUS HALLWAYS,
CORRIDORS, ENTRANCE AND EXIT WAYS. IN THIS DESIGN, THE ATRIUM ALSO
ACTS AS A CONNECTING SPACE BETWEEN ACTUAL RETAIL UNITS AND THE
SHOPS IN THE GROUND FLOOR OF COMET.
• CONCORD AND CANBERRA ARE CONNECTED HORIZONTALLY AT A HIGHER LEVEL
THROUGH A CONNECTING GLASSWALKWAY.
• THE VERTICAL CIRCULATION ELEMENTS CONSTITUTE THE CORE OF THE
BUILDING WHICH HAVE BEEN RETAINED AT EVERY LEVEL.
• THE ATRIUM WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF PUBLIC CIRCULATION CAN HAVE

OTHER FUNCTIONS AND CAN BE USED TO ENHANCE THE ARCHITECTURAL
QUALITY OF THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS.

NO SPECIFIC PATTER OR LANGUAGE OF

OR SHAPE TAKEN BY THE BUILINGS AS
SEEN IN THE PLAN.
SO WE CAN COME TO THE ASSUMPTION
THAT THEY HSVR FOLLOWED THE
PRINCIPLE “FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION”.
IN TERMS OF CONTEXT OF THE
SITE:
THE ENTIRE COMPLEX STANDS OUT BECAUSE OF ITS VERTICALITY

AND SCALE BUT DOES NOT SEEM OUT OF CONTEXT IN TERMS OF

DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULATION
BETWEEN DIFFERENT COMPONENTS
• OUTSIDE PUBLIC
CIRCULATION : IT IS THE
AREAS OF THE BUILDING
WHICH ARE MOST WIDELY
AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY
THE COMMON VISITORS TO
UB-CITY
• PRIVATE COMPLEX
CIRCULATION: ACCOUNTS
FOR THE MORE INTIMATE
MOVEMENTS WITHIN THE
OUTSIDE PUBLIC
COMPLEX.

PRIVATE COMPLEX CIRCULATION
Vertical circulation
Horizontal circulation
•The private enclosed corridors respects the privacy of the corporate offices
•The corridors connects to the stairs and lift ( vertical circulation ) in a network
configuration .
• THE SPACE FOLLOWS A COMPOSITE PATH OF LINEAR AND NETWORK

CIRCULATION.
THE NODES PUNCTURE THE PATH OF MOVEMENT AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY
FOR PAUSE AND RE- ORIENTATION.
COMET FLOOR PLAN
6m Driveway
•All paths are linear .
•The straight path is the primary organizing element for these series of spaces
•To avoid the creation of a disoriented maze , a hierarchy of paths and nodes is
established by differentiating their scale ,length and placement .

THE LIGHTING IS CAREFULLY USED AS AN

THE LANDSCAPE IS USED TO HIGHLIGHT THE
