The building has been approached with a great craftsmanship. Glass facades on both sides are protected with the help of screens which also give this building its unique identity. Although articulation on the north side could have been different from the western side as it never gets direct sun. These screens are primarily made of aluminum louvers and steel sections as structural members. The material palette comprises of exposed concrete, steel, aluminum, and kotah stone for the floor.
