Ion Idea is a software firm based in Washington, USA. Their
3 acre campus , at Whitefield, Bangalore has been designed
and executed
by Shibanee & Kamal Architects and Total Environment.
The scope of the project included
help with sourcing land, obtaining sanctions, complete architectural
and structural design and construction of the entire campus,
including landscaping.
The main building rises upwards in the form of towers,
while remaining structures such as security cabins, the electrical
/ generator rooms are completely earth covered and landscaped
to merge with the surrounding. Three spacious courtyards provide
natural ventilation and do away with the requirement for air-conditioning,
except in the server rooms.
The building includes a board room, training rooms, server
rooms, administration wing, work areas, cafetaria and service
areas.
