Top Storey

Backstory

This name was waiting in my subconscious to emerge. When I moved to Bangalore from Bombay, my first house was on the ground floor and faced the beautiful red brick Elgin flour mills. The flour mill closed down, the land was sold to Prestige builders and they built an apartment complex so close to my house that it obstructed the natural light. We moved to another ground floor apartment and it has a huge rain tree in front of it and that again blocked the daylight. It was certain that when I build my own house it would be on the Top Storey. So when this client briefed me on the mouthful of services they offered (Electricals and Networking, Solar Power, HVAC, UPS, DG, Energy Management, Security Key Management, Software and Controls) I gladly gave them the name. The 8 services that they offered fitted organically into the design. And if they increased their services, we would symbolically reference it as rising infinity.
