The design consists of a composition of cubes of different sizes, rotated along a curvilinear axis, in an attempt to create spaces that are extraordinary and unique. The design focuses on interaction between the students and the professors by creating an open space through the middle called ' the central street.' An emphasis is also given to the planning of the different spaces using the form and understanding of the sun-path patterns throughout the year.

The planning distinguishes walkways and courts, which are active during different parts of the year. An extra focus has also been given to the appearance of the college in order to define the emphasis of art in architecture.

The site was located in the heart of Sector 18, Noida, which had an area of 14250 sqm. Being one of the earliest and the most estabilished commercial centres in Noida, the Sector houses various malls, hotels, offices, retail outlets and resaurants, making it an active public place. Owing to its estabilished nature, it is a high value real estate property, making it one of the most highly demanded commercial sites. Due to an excellent connectivity through the Delhi Metro and developed infrastructure, the site becomes an ideal spot for a new public space within the sector.

The project focuses on redefining the ideologies associated with a mixed use development. The idea was to create a building/site that would attract all strata of the the Indian society and create a space which could be 'public' in its true sense, while maintaining privacy for its inhabitants.

One of the prominent feature of the building is the different zones of green belts incorporated within the form, namely: The Promenade (Z1), The Mall Roof (Z2), The Sky Gardens (Z3), The Hotel Face (Z4), The Roof Top (Z5). The different zones act as breather spaces within the building for its inhabitants as well as spaces for leisure and activty for the public.

The project explores unique ways of utilizing standardized spaces using non-standardized dimensions and different ways of arrangement. The two units planned conform to the area requirements of the building units for the community, while adding to the systematic configuration of the entire form. Service utilities are planned as linear spaces without any obstructions, keeping the living/ bed area as separate and interchangeable entities. The arrangement of the units is planned so as to create both private and public areas for leisure for the community. Daylight and ventilation are kept in minded while stacking each of these units to ensure a healthful environment for the residents.
