Kanakia Wall Street Mumbai

Architect: Reza Kabul
Firm: ARK

Located in the suburban commercial hub of Andheri, Kanakia Wall Street offers 10,00,000 sq.ft of office space. The architecture reflects the heavy stone work buildings that lace the kilometre long Wall Street of New York. However, the classical gothic style fades away with the introduction of double glazed glass and aluminium fins on the facade.

Creating its own identity, using colour and depth variations of the fins, the facade appears as silhouettes of human figures. The office spaces range from 800 sq.ft to 50,000 sq.ft, featuring amenities that include an executive lounge, valet and concierge services, and a news room. One of the key design considerations is the emphasis on personal health and well-being of the modern age entrepreneurs and employees. The landscaped terrace gardens and cafes, indoor gaming zone, and library make for ideal breakout spaces. Sleeping pods have been designed owing to those who pull the late nights and all-nighters in the competitive environment.
