Explaining the intention behind the beautiful structure, Kashef Chowdhury who heads Urbana responsible for the building says:

“This region is a living laboratory for climate change. In the design, we introduced a ‘canal’ with a two-pronged approach: to take the heavy rainfall out rapidly to avoid waterlogging and flash floods. At the same time, we wanted to utilise this rainwater too because the groundwater in this area is saline due to rising nearby sea levels and is just not fit for general use, including consumption or cooking.” ⁣⁣
