Covering a range of categories, the awards offer architects and designers a prestigious platform to communicate a shared vision for the future, from culturally integrated city skylines to sustainable urban communities. The Forbes India team has put together a judging panel comprising of the most extraordinary individuals that have shaped Indian architecture and design milieu.
The Malabar Group Headquarters (M HQ) situated in the tropical context of Kerala is built on a unique style steep sloping site, facing the west presenting a picturesque landscape view from the building. It has been built at Montana Estates, the 150-acre serene township, situated at 800 feet above the sea-level, away from the bustle of the City. The roof is designed as a landscaped gathering space which slopes all the way down to the ground and has amphitheaters, lounges, pavilions and plenty of vegetation, serving as a space to get together and unwind. Natural vegetation comes into the interiors through spill out balconies and the central landscaped spine with dense greenery, providing opportunities for social interactions and enhances the psychological well-being of the employees. The inherent honesty in usage of materials along with the contextually relevant design helps in creating a highly sustainable building, one which is integrally connected to nature.
