This one was particularly challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. It was a classic brown field and retrofitting case, which means we had to integrate prefab structure with an existing one. And when you’re working on retrofits, there’s zero margin for error. Everything has to align perfectly — structurally and visually.
Now, what made it even more intense was the location as it was by the seashore, high wind speeds, heavy monsoons, and serious rust issues because of the salty air. So we had to design everything to be extremely sturdy — following Indian structural codes, of course — and we paid special attention to surface preparation. Since the area falls under a C-4 corrosion zone, we used a combination of Epoxy and PU paint systems, and applied high-pressure laminates on the columns to fit them well with the acoustics
