Meerut, a tier 3 city in India is going through a tangible transformation phase and S2S arcade will play a model role in defining the Architectural language for the rapidly urbanizing city fabric.
As the Building comes into the view of the passer-by the louvered façade pulls their visual focus to explore and connect, and the vertical lines which seem to cascade towards the inside of the glass atrium, it becomes a dialogue of invitation between the building and the on looker.
The building graces the banks of a principle road as the facade exhibits a masterful play of form and light. A mesmerizing array of precision-engineered vertical louvers, meticulously spaced, adorns the exterior, providing an elegant synergy between transparency and privacy. During the day, these slender louvers cast intriguing shadows that dance with the sun’s movement, transforming the facade into a dynamic canvas of textures. By night, the interplay continues with strategically placed LED lights that accentuate the louvers, turning the building into a captivating luminescent spectacle, for the people to enjoy the arcade at all times.
Inside, an open layout with atrium allows natural light to flood the space, illuminating the storefronts. Polished marble floors, metal accents, and mirrored surfaces express modernism while highlighting the products on display. The judicious use of glass enhances visual connectivity, inviting shoppers to explore the diverse array of stores in arcade.
