The name “Taula,” derived from the Sanskrit word for “balance,” reflects the project’s integration of traditional Hindu principles with a contemporary architectural expression. Rooted in the guiding tenets of Vastu Shastra, the design emphasizes symmetry, orientation, spatial geometry, and precise detailing.

The exterior is clad in a composition of precast concrete panels, weathered steel, and dark grey basalt stone. These are complemented by accents of Brazilian Ipe siding, polished stucco, and zinc composite panels.
The natural textures and subdued hues animate the elevations as sunlight shifts across the façade throughout the day.

Interior finishes are deliberately minimal to draw attention to the architecture and detailing. Elements of the exterior material palette—weathered steel and basalt stone—carry through to the interior, maintaining continuity.
