Monsoon Breeze

2011, Bangalore, India
Bangalore is a sizzling IT hub with world talents. A new Road encircles the city. In this green path new landmark developments are happening. The central one is Monsoon Breeze, a garden city with the latest international trends in Residential and Commercial building typologies.

Adapted for this sub-tropical savannah weather and local culture, the project has a soul in the form of a Commercial icon: an Elliptical Plaza that embraces the space and the people who are invited to a great stage where films, entertainment and shows happen all day and night under the monsoon breeze, like a reinvented Spanish Plaza amphitheatre that Ricardo Bofill has designed for the site. The team has designed a flowing object under a curving roof that contains a high-tech feeling Interior Street in four exciting levels of undulating space wrapped in continuous advertisements, screens, brands, that engulfs the shopper in a dream. The exterior Stage in the centre of the half moon, half covered by the roof of the Mall, acts as an urban canopy for the rain and the sun. The two “arms” of the soul-space become a double-order Arcade, where artists, artisans, citizens may gather and sell their crafts and show their art.

Multiplex, Theatre & Congress, Food & Beverage, Restaurants, Roof terraces with a viewdeck over to the the Residential towers that stand in a quiet classical mood. Living and commercial activities are separated yet connected forming one single body, one single community, one place with one heart.
