Located in an Industrial Park not far from the city, the architecture of the project is a brutal expression as made of a form finished concrete box that encompassed large space on each floor which can be divided as per needs by partition making it a workspace. This offers a high level of flexibility which counts as a huge asset knowing the dynamics in technology the industry faces today and that it will face tomorrow. The interiors are warm felt spaces using Italian marble and white ash wood for furniture with some hints of copper sparkled in each executive space. The facade is made using perforated Corten Steel which has the dual purpose of security grill and the aesthetics of the building. A vast Landscape at the south of the building invites visitors pleasing their eyes naturally.
