The Veiled Building is a contemporary office space located in Patna, India, designed by KUN Studio. It showcases a blend of traditional and modern elements, integrating diverse urban influences around the site. The building spans a site area of 3500 sq ft with a total built-up area of 11000 sq ft across four floors (Ground + 3). The materials used include exposed concrete, marble, and Kota stone, providing a tactile experience for users. One of the notable features is the latticed screen or "veil," which separates the building visually while offering glimpses of a cultural kund. The interplay of light and shadow adds to its visual appeal and makes it a prominent landmark. The large pivot door entrance adds to the charm of the brutalist character of the building. The Veiled Building stands as a representation of the convergence of tradition and modernity in Indian architecture, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of transitions and duality. It serves as a compelling example of how different urban influences can harmoniously coexist.
