COLOURS OF THE ADI GANGA
A short walk from the Tele Signals office building leads towards a ghat on the Adi Ganga—an ancient waterway that has shaped the history and identity of this part of Kolkata.
The office’s colour palette draws from this riverine context.
Blue-grey recalls the shifting tones of water, while warmer, earthy shades evoke loamy soil and exposed sandbanks. Together, these colours soften the project’s technological geometry and connect it to the landscape beyond its walls.
The palette becomes another form of site memory: quiet, atmospheric and rooted in the nearby river.
