ITC Narmada registered with USGBC for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum certification. Right from developing the site to construction and operationalizing, sustainability has been at the heart of design at ITC Narmada with an enhanced focus on energy efficiency, water efficiency, sustainable site development, use of sustainable materials, and indoor environment quality.

ITC Narmada draws its architectural inspiration from the heritage icons of Gujarat. The façade elements are inspired by the classical Gujarat Toran of the Sun Temple at Modhera and the unique step wells that were once integral to the region. The central atrium lobby and its majestic water wall is a tribute to the lifeline river Sabarmati. The building façade carries elements of local craft including an interpretation of the famous “Tree of Life” at the Sidi Syed Mosque in Ahmedabad. The superimposing step wells architecture to latticework and mirrors, silks, brocades, world-famous cotton weaves, and teakwood of Narmada’s basins will be the hallmark of ITC Narmada’s artistic elevation.
