Project Overview:
The concept for the U.S. Consulate General in Hyderabad was influenced by the massive boulder formations and significant changes in elevation throughout the site. The design approach minimizes impact, limiting excavation to respect the culturally significant landscape. The sensitive site approach compliments an adjacent nature preserve featuring a lake integral to regional stormwater management, together forming an urban oasis. The building is ensconced with metal panels articulated as a Jali screen unifying the building on the east and west exposures. The Jali screen filters light and views along the primary elevations and moderates natural light to interior representational spaces.
