Ahmedabad is home to an incredible tapestry of architectural elements, be it from the religious influences of Hindu, Jain, and Islamic cultures or the cultural legacies of the Solanki and Sultanate eras. The heart of Ahmedabad’s architectural heritage can be traced back to its pols, the city’s richly packed neighbourhoods that form historic self-sustaining communities. Even today, Ahmedabad continues to build upon its neighbourhoods and communities, drawing on its traditional architectural roots, with the city’s initial layout proposed by Ahmed Shah I in 1411 remaining mostly unchanged.
In a city as deeply traditional and hereditary as Ahmedabad, its modern infrastructure needs to pay homage to its roots and incorporate these values into new infrastructure. This balance of traditional intricacies hidden within ultra-modern architecture has made HN Safal a standout real-estate tycoon, revolutionizing Ahmedabad’s skyline without disrupting the city’s love for its unforgettable past.
Mondeal Square & Mondeal Heights both use facades inspired by Sidi Saiyyed’s iconic Jali, a historical design identity of Ahmedabad.
Revered as an iconic symbol of Ahmedabad’s old city heritage, Sidi Saiyyed’s Mosque and its architecture are considered to be one of the foundations of Ahmedabad’s centuries-old architecture that has stood the test of time. Classified under India’s Monuments of National Importance, it is a popular tourist attraction for people from all around the world to view its eye-catching “tree of life”, an important icon that has even inspired the logo of IIM Ahmedabad on account of its iconic symbolization for the entire city.
