External finish •The entire complex is finished with combination of granite, composite metallic cladding, Acrylic paint and structural glazing. The lower levels of the building have been given a more transparent look with large glazed part being offered to foyer/food court/retail. This has been done also keeping in mind the commercial aspect for shops to have maximum frontage and making the shops more visible and lively for the crowd visiting the building. •At the upper level on the front facade, space has been provided for advertisements, forthcoming attractions and cinema posters, which are ideally visible from a distance governing the external elevation.
•The lower levels glazing is treated with granite bands making a striking bold impression on the lower shopping level and also relates itself with the mall elevation. •The front and the two sides of the building strategically defining the main entry to the building have been provided with glazing at the upper level exposing the vertical movement of crowd in the staircases. At the lower level below the curtain glazing space frames have been proposed, which increase the visual scale and the aesthetic appeal.
Fire fighting Fire sprinkler system : is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected. Although historically only used in factories and large commercial buildings, home and small building systems are now available at a costeffective price.
Fire hose reel system : The length of a fully extended fire hose is 36 meters with a diameter of 19mm (outside diameter). A control nozzle attached to the end of the hose enables the operator to control the direction and flow of water to the fire. All fire hose reels come with a plastic or solid brass hose reel nozzle and mounting bracket. Fire sprinklers

HVAC SYSTEM HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) refers to technology of indoor or automotive environmental comfort. HVAC system design is a major sub discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or ventilating is dropped as in HACR (such as the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers). HVAC is important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with temperature and humidity, as well as "fresh air" from

Positive point: •Proper colour scheme is used. •Landscaping is beautifully done. •Sufficient sitting area is provided inside as well as outside. •Glazing is used for aesthetic purpose. •Planning is done keeping in mind, keeping in mind the commercial aspect for shops to have maximum frontage and making the shops more visible and lively for the crowd visiting the building. •Proper fighting system is provided. •Proper circulation-lifts, escalators and staircase are provided.
Negative point:
The colour scheme for a cinema complex which serves the purposes of leisure and entertainment should be little more lively and vivid to make it attractive and commercially viable. But this can also be achieved simultaneously in harmony with the surrounding buildings. With so many Multiplexes coming up these days, reviewing them reveals the fact that most of them have used primary colours and modern finishes, it is the demand of the time..
