Tata is one of Asia’s most influencial business men
The Tata group exemplifies India’s metamorphosis into a modern economy.

Zhang yin is one of the richest self made women in the world ,
“women hold up half the sky”,
Chinese society and politics remain dominated by men and there are only 35 women on the Chinese 500 richest list.

By researching these powerful individuals, the spaces that I wanted to create were based on three principles.

Modernism, Minimalism and Fundamentalism.

I wanted to create spaces with a modernist touch, windows stretching from top to bottom and lots of light. It is also important that I acknowlegde the transition between mass and void.

The spaces are integrated but not diffident, the structures are a series of overlapping volumes organised under a L shape roof plane. The spaces achieve their boldest moments with their simplistic design.
