Every day, we uphold our responsibility as architects to shape a sustainable future, recognizing that collective action holds the key to meaningful change. On this Earth Day, we pause to honor the precious gift of our planet and reflect on our role in its preservation. We’re proud to spotlight a project that exemplifies our enduring dedication to sustainability. The UIDAI Headquarters in New Delhi was our first GRIHA 5-star rated project, and is a deservedly unique example of energy-efficient and sustainable architecture in the city. From the use of fly-ash bricks and AAC blocks to reduce embodied energy, to green walls creating a micro-climate, and triple glazing serving as a protective skin every aspect of the building was meticulously thought about to minimize the building’s impact on the natural environment. Additionally efficient space planning of the office floor plate, and sustainable site planning strategies such as preserving and re-using the top soil in the landscape, along with water management and energy optimization strategies were implemented to considerably reduce the building’s impact as compared to the GRIHA benchmark.
