The architectural rendering of the multinational IT company campus in Indore is a compelling tribute to the city’s rich cultural legacy, thoughtfully weaving the essence of Rajwada—the iconic 18th-century palace—into a contemporary institutional framework. This design is not merely a visual statement but a narrative that bridges tradition and innovation.

At the heart of this architectural vision lies a symmetrical composition reminiscent of Rajwada’s balanced façade, with two prominent wings flanking a central core. The central section, articulated with intricate latticework and flanked by symmetrically projecting volumes, echoes the elevation of the Rajwada – reinterpreted here through modern materials and geometric precision. The repetition of corporate brand and “INDORE” within the latticework serves as both branding and homage, anchoring the building in its local context.

The protruding cuboid volumes and textured surfaces reflect a modernist approach, yet their rhythm and layering subtly echo the tiered balconies and projecting elements of Rajwada’s upper storeys. The landscaped foreground, with its orderly greenery, mirrors the palace’s courtyards and gardens, offering a serene transition from built form to nature.

This design is a masterclass in cultural continuity, where the grandeur of Maratha architecture is distilled into a futuristic corporate campus
