ITC Green Centre, Kolkata wins the Chicago Athenaeum’s Green Good Design Award 2026.
A 17-acre mixed-use campus in Rajarhat, Kolkata, conceived as an urban anchor with IT and corporate offices, a hotel, knowledge centre, and residential towers.
Rooted in Bengal’s climate and cultural context, the campus is oriented 18° off the east-west axis to reduce solar exposure by about 25%, while shaded courts, southern breezes, and a protected pedestrian spine lower perceived temperatures by up to 5°C.
High-performance office floors achieve over 85% space efficiency, with 17 m deep floor plates and about 90% naturally daylit workspaces. Radiant cooling, passive design strategies, and an energy target of 43 kWh/sq m/yr support its IGBC Platinum pre-certification.
A climate-responsive, culturally rooted urban campus where optimisation, sustainability, liveability, and Bengal’s identity come together at scale.
Design Team: Kiran Yadav, Arnab Dutta and Abhishek Arora
