The retail location is situated in the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai and boasts a glass exterior with a series of triangular timber pieces across the canopy. These tiles are each made with 408 pieces of timber with a total of 1,000 covering the space. The location boasts its own solar panel array and thus runs on 100% renewable energy.
