The project is located in a tech park in Bangalore, India. Corporate biophilia explores the idea of a living, breathing building envelope that uses passive methods to contribute to the net zero potential of an office block. 
The project explores two primary façade systems to respond to the public spaces surrounding the two buildings – the rain chain system that flanks the central public plaza and the modular system that address the open public areas on the three other facades of each building.
To address the tropical savannah climate of Bangalore, the project responds to both dry and wet seasons. During dry seasons, the landscape, due to its sectional variation provides shaded exterior workspaces. During wet seasons the façade incorporates rainwater harvesting system through use of rain chains that direct the water from the roof to the underground water cisterns.
