Shivalik High Street
Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
The project is at a prime location, surrounded by institutional and low-rise buildings. Shivalik Highstreet is a result of the client's progressive vision and an innovative design response by INI. In its prominent location in the IIM-A district, with visibility on all four sides, the building has become an iconic visual reference given its 11-story height and dynamic form. The program targeted retail outlets on the ground floor, along with small & mid- size offices for growing entrepreneurs and professionals, and premium pent-house offices with terrace gardens on the top floor.

Enhanced Business Ambience for a Thriving Commercial Hub
This slim tower of ground plus eleven stories located at a
significant proximity to two of Ahmedabad’s busiest roads
was envisioned by the developer to offer premium
business spaces with globally competitive facilities for the
city’s growing tribe of small and medium scale firms. With
mostly low-rise structures and important institutional
campuses like the IIM-A located in the vicinity, Shivalik High
Street stands tall as a prime commercial venue that
responds to the needs of the local globally competitive
business community.
The design constitutes a ground floor provision for just
three niche retail outlets offering an exclusive shopping
experience for the city’s elite and eleven floors of small
(around 750 sq.ft) and medium size (around 2000 sq.ft)
offices in an internationally styled high performance
glazed building having state-of-the-art services and
facilities. The ample parking space provided at grade in
addition to two basements adds value, as does the double
height entrance lobby with exquisite décor and the
premium penthouse offices with landscaped terraces on
the top floor.
Sleek Structural Elegance to Articulate a Modern Style
The building exterior is articulated in the architecture of modern high-rises by using a pervasive glazed façade. The monotony of form, however, is broken by sculpting the structural and façade elements in varying inclinations along the height which gives it a skyward dynamism. When lit up at night from within and without, the venue exudes the intended special energy of a thriving business hub.
Efficient Space Utilization Resulting in an Open Aura
The building footprint occupies just 25% of the ground on site, leaving the remaining space available for a lit up landscaped open court and at grade parking facility. This also helps create the impression of a slim tall tower akin to international business venues. The floors above the ground are accessed by two large elevators and a larger service lift which open out onto lobbies, efficiently serviced and optimally utilized. This leaves the rest of the floor plate available to be apportioned as utilizable office spaces with large exterior faces for light and ventilation.
