Nirlon Knowledge Park

We regenerated a strategically located former industrial complex for high density, business use.

Three building zones are situated around a high quality central green park zone, which acts as the main focus of activity, being a relaxing car-free space characterised by its terraced landscape and elegantly sweeping curves.

Original buildings have been retained and re-used, strengthening the historical context and the identity of the place. An old cooling tower has been converted into a grand cafe.

In the growing economy of India the Nirlon Knowledge Park campus is seen as a state-of-the-art design and an exemplar sustainable development.
