Amit Goyal Highway Commercial

NH-44, Haryana

A roadside commercial complex on NH-44 for the Goyal family, a mixed-use block of retail, a restaurant, and a small office floor above, set on a deep plot with a long highway frontage.

The facade is the project's hardest problem: a building that has to be legible to a driver doing eighty, and gracious to a customer walking up to it. The solution is a tall colonnade, a regular rhythm of mass that reads as a single line from the highway, then breaks down into individual shopfronts and recesses at human scale.

“A long facade drawn to be read at speed, and then, more slowly, once you stop.”
