BLOCKING
For a high-end shopping mall the first five floors
of the main building are used and the remaining
47 floors are commercial offices and a hotel of
five stars.
BLOCK SEGREGATION INTRODUCTION
The main building is crowned on the top 5
floors by a 5-star hotel
Separate office spaces are provided in every office from the 6th to the 14th floors, and toilets are
provided on all floors. The Central Core at 24 m is surrounded by offices and refuge areas
The architects have thus designed Kohinoor Square, leaving office spaces pillarless , inorder to create
a luxurious aura of space
The first 13 floors of the residential building
is occupied as a parking spaces for both the
buildings and the remaining 19 floors are
residences.

FLOOR
PLAN
The floor pattern “stitches” the atrium and tower lobby
together, while geo-metric shapes and diagonal lines direct
you towards destination points. The darker floor color
palette along with the subtle changes in hue, provide a rich
contrast with the wooden wall .

COLUMN GRID :
The Average Centre to Centre Distance
between columns is 9.5m
❑ The Column is 1.8m x 1.8m
❑ Concrete Shear Wall + Frame
Structure
❑ This assembly of columns and beams
forms a rigid frame that amounts to a
dense and strong structural wall along
the exterior of the building.
❑ The structure comprises a concrete
core and post-tensioned concrete slab
and spandrel beams
The tube system concept is based on
the idea that a building can be
designed to resist lateral loads
