A six story office building for a housing society; it also contains an auditorium. Two floors have commercial spaces. The building seeks to link the plaza with the nearby park; the short sides of the building are glass curtain walls, while the long sides are covered with laminated wood beams in a warm color. These flare out at the west facade, giving the impression of a pergola or garden trellis. (Source: Architizer [website]; http://architizer.com/)
