Amba Deep Towers, a 23 storied structure was designed to challenge the stereotype of high-rise commercial buildings in New Delhi.
The Atrium of the tower is 7 stories in height, providing the visitors with one of the grandest urban scale entrances possible to an office building. Built in 1992, this was the first building in New Delhi to introduce glass elevators on its façade, providing a stunning panoramic view of the city.
(bottom-left) Kukreja aimed at breaking the stereotype surrounding the design of high-rise buildings in and around the city. This was achieved by reinterpreting traditional Indian elements like courtyards and terraces in a modern style, providing a far more aesthetic alternative to the conventional refuge areas prescribed by the New Delhi fire norms.The architectural character of the building has been inspired from the exquisite Persian tile work, making Amba Deep one of the tallest buildings in the world to have an art mural engaging with the city, embracing art at a city level.
