DROP OFF was enhanced with wooden fins, Roof was highlighted with green shingles and F&B areas were made more interactive with large glass windows. Rest of the facade is painted with light color to undertone numerous facade projections. Similarly, lighting is also added to highlight few elements and under play undulations.
