Many large software and business process outsourcing companies have their offices in the city. Many other companies have their Indian branch offices in Noida, because of many factors, including its special economic zone status, its suburban atmosphere and its proximity to Delhi. Noida also hosts the head office of the software technology park, which was established by the government of India to promote the software industry. Film city, established by Sandeep Marwah, is a hub for major news channels and studios. Development in industry, commerce and trade have led Noida to be a model city in up. it is a major revenue earmmer for the government through taxes. According to a leading IPC’s Market Survey Report(2010-13), the percentage of Corporate Travellers is increasing to as good as 53% in the Hospitality Industry.

(Source: Noida Masterplan, 2031) The site lies along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway which has an increased demand for commercial properties, Noida Expressway, which further connects to the 165km-long Yamuna Expressway is a favourite hotspot for projects like luxury hotels, retails office space, and shopping malls. The site also offers good connectivity to Delhi via the DND flyway and to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. The demand for office space has also increased because of huge space availability at affordable prices. Many developers have taken this opportunity for office space development, especially along Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. More and more IT / ITeS companies target Noida Expressway for its rental affordability. Also, metro line is proposed along the corridor. Figure 1.7: Important locations around the site.

The different blocks are connected by corridor bridges. This form of planning eliminates the need for expansion joints. The room typologies include standard guestrooms, executive rooms, executive suites and a presidential suite. There are 368 standard and executive rooms, 32 executive suites and one presidential suite located on the topmost floor. The executive suite is designed utilizing the area for two standard rooms and the presidential suite is designed utilizing the area for four guestrooms. 3 service lifts on each guestroom floor took care of the services.

All the rooms on top are subsequently aligned such that they face the north-south direction. This provides for minimum glazing on the east and west facades. The remaining functions like the ballroom, pre- functions and multi-purpose hall have been kept the same. The guestrooms are located on top of all the functions of the hotel part except the ballroom and pre-functions due to longer spans required in these areas. The All the functions which end up as guestrooms at the upper floors are oriented along the north-south functions are accessible from the central atrium. tower can be located on the remaining side. The lobbies and pre-functions have been ideally located Two double loaded corridors both aligned along the north south and singly loaded corridor facing the west facade (having only 4 rooms for minimum heat gain). All the corridors are connected to the atrium which is exposed on the east facade allow for maximum daylight to enter the corridors. The two corridors are given different heights as separate wings with the northern part forming the iconic tower and a landmark. All the floors are open to the eastern facade to get the benefit of morning daylight. Figure 4.7: Arrangement of Guestroom Modules 4,32 Office Block building. one for office goers. Figure 4.9: Form Development shading devices at the end of every floor where the curtain wall glazing terminates. The form is primarily governed by the factors explained above in the concept. Most of the parameters governing the form are designed to keep the building as energy efficient as possible. The initial form follows simple extrusion of the zoning mass based on energy efficiency through orientation. The second steps involve giving green terraces in appropriate areas based on factors explained above. The third step involves extrusions of different floors based on area requirements. The final step involves facade treatment of the guestrooms and offices by providing shading devices such as parametric vertical louvers whose tilt angle can be controlled based on the solar conditions and horizontal sun shading devices at the end of every floor where the curtain wall glazing terminates. vertical louvers whose tilt angle can be controlled based on the solar conditions and horizontal sun VIEW OF GREEN TERRACE
