z PHILOSOPHY
 • HCP’s design philosophy is rooted
in the belief that design is the
search for elegant and sustainable
solutions to practical problems.
 • While focusing on clients’ stated

objectives it also queries them to
correctly formulate the range of
diverse problems that any project
poses. It then provides leadership to
a collaborative design process.
• HCP believes that design and

building projects require both, a rich
collaboration amongst many design,
construction and management
professionals and workers and an
effective leadership that can provide
a vision for that collaboration.
1 IIM-A
z Master
Planning, Ahmedabad 2014
IIM Ahmedabad has a world-class reputation as a

management institute, and also a fine history of
architectural patronage.
The Institute must evolve over time, to retain its status as a
premier learning environment.
New developments are essential to this growth.
Working closely with the
Institute, we have developed
a Master Plan strategy that
is flexible.
z
 It allows for sensitive and appropriate change, to
accommodate the Institute’s growing needs, while holistically
protecting, enhancing and integrating the two unique assets
of the existing campus:
i. The iconic buildings

by Kahn, Raje and
others
ii. The network of
mature green spaces
in between and
around the buildings.
Site Area: 103 Acres
The design development

The proposed new development includes much needed additional
learning spaces, student dormitories, faculty and staff housing,
sports z
facilities and an auditorium. As Master Architect, they had
proposed a series of design and planning guidelines to ensure that
all new development is suitably located, of an appropriate scale and
of the highest architectural quality.
New
developments
must be efficient
and economical
in their land use,
be sympathetic in
form and material
to the existing
iconic buildings,
and respect the
grain and
underlying order
of the existing
campus.
Subsequent phasing massing
 The master plan had been planned in a phased manner, to
z
accommodate the future needs as envisaged by the institute
today, but t hephasing also remains flexible, anticipating
changing in future requirements.
We have also
supported the
institute facilitate
the conservation
work for the
heritage buildings
by identifying
spaces within the
campus for
temporary
relocation.
Site Area: 103
Acres

4 z Chennai Container
Terminal, Chennai 2002 -2004

 HCP partnered with Babtie
ConsultantszIndia Pvt. Ltd. to design
the New Management Center for the
Chennai Container Terminal, run by
P&P Ports India Ltd. The building is
situated at the southern end of the
1000-metre-long Container Terminal.
The simple, rectangular, five-
storeyed Management Center is
oriented to minimize heat gain.
ELEVATION
 In view of the administrative
requirement of ‘a constant
z
view of the terminal as well
as the berthing ships’, and
taking advantage of the
natural light, the work areas
were placed on the north
side of the building. The
administrative staff was
provided with views of the
entire terminal through the
fully glazed north facade.
Utility areas like toilets,
AHU, staircase and lift,
pantry, archives and utility
ducts were placed on the
south side of the building,
in view of the harsh glare –
the direct sunlight of
Chennai.
Site Plan 1. Entry 2. Security Cabin 3. Visitor Parking 4. Employee Parking 5.
Admin Block 6. Canteen & Amenities 7. Garden 8. Main Exit for Transporter 9.
Truck Parking 10. Container Yard 11. Space for loading/unloading
z
 Built-up Area: 2,500 Sq.m.
SECTION
z
 The strategic location
of the Management
Center ensured
prominent visibility of
its south facade from a
distance of almost
1000 metres. This,
combined with the
climatic requirement of
minimal openings,
allowed the client and
the architect to
conceptualize the use
of the blank and high
building facade, for a
large striking mural.
5 z KHS Machinery, Hirapur,
Memdavad 2005 -2007

 In 2005, HCP
designed azbottling
production plant for
K.H.S. Maschinen
Anlagenbau AG, an
international
company dealing in
product packaging.
Located in Hirapur,
Memdavad, the
design of the facility
was driven by
economical
resource
management.

z
ELEVATION
 The architects responded to the challenge with a design which consists of four
identical sheds spanning 27 metres in width by 120 metres in length. The
facility is notable for the unique inverted-truss-roof canopy. The trusses, which
span 27 metres, appear above the roof externally in order to achieve a clean
undersurface of the roof. A gantry with a capacity of 20 tons runs along the entire
clear span making the production area flexible. Construction was done in steel to
suit the industrial use.
z
SECTION
 The project has received the National Award for innovative

structural steel design and construction.
z
 Built-up Area: 18,750 Sq.m.
