This Office building is a two and half storey office building with plinth area of 1500 sq. m. Earthquake resistant design of the project is achieved not only by structural design, but also architectural design with regular as well as stable form of the building.

All RCC structural members are covered with brick works in order to keep in harmony with the surroundings of Sanothimi. Ample space for office wardrobe is allocated in between windows. The duct like wardrobe helps to recess the window position achieving climate responsive design.
It was a joint venture project of MRB & Associates and BDA Associates in association with CREATEERS . The firm is involved in detailed Architectural design, landscape design, sanitary design, production of working drawings, detailed estimate and construction supervision.
Only architectural and sanitary design of the project were carried out by the firm.
