Blend of Classical And Modern Architecture
Technology can recreate an essential part of the intrinsic differences between modern and classical methods. While most traditional buildings use readily available mortar, brick, and timber, modern structures use industrialized materials such as glass, steel, and metal composite material.
There are many opinions about the potential connection between modern and classical architecture. Although differences in form and style are considerably apparent, the materials used in traditional or historic architecture vary significantly from those used in current structures.
Extending the bounds of innovation and renovation, the Thirty feet ACP, LED module, and profile lights balance on top of the original mortar and brick structure, creating a new Elevation.
ACP Aluminium Composite Panels are the choice for modernizing the glance of facades. Lightweight, effortless to manufacture and install, and offered in multiple varieties of colours, textures, and finishes, this endurable cladding material equips design flexibility and state-of-the-art solutions to global projects, including those that present innovations in the restoration of conventional buildings.
This project has prevailed in the structure’s legacy while ingraining elegance and modernity besides retaining its classics. A phenomenon and a fathomless study of assorted material use have created a new icon in Hyderabad. Located at Malakpet, Hyderabad challenges what it means to have elemental architecture. This commercial property, Officers Mess Function Plaza, is a project achievable with Aluminium and Iron composite materials. Designed and executed by Iconoclast Innovations, over 2500 square feet of custom ACP (Aluminium Composite Panels) beautify the modern addition while retaining the foundation of the original 150-year-old structure.
Digital Facade as a Free Outdoor Advertising Tool
There is a growing trend to design elevations with vibrant and colourful exterior skins (ACP Aluminium composite panels) through the integration of digital media tools, especially Light Emitting Diode (LED) systems, and innovative technology. Facade architecture has always helped the business present its abstract characteristics. Facade elevations per se are the outdoor advertising tool to promote the business without indulging in other paid advertisements, the more trendy, well-designed, eye-catching, and appealing the exteriors are, the more they pull new customers. Officers Mess Function Plaza at Malakpet Hyderabad is the model of such mesmerizing elevation.
Renovating a 150-year-old building with a classical design without any civil touch was a big challenge for Iconoclast Innovations.

Designing to Execution
The requirement sought by the client was a classical structure for the elevation of the building that many architects of Hyderabad designed, but finally, the owners of Officers’ mess selected the design from Iconoclast Innovations based on our ability to understand the concepts of classical and modern designs profoundly and delivering the project before the given time as done previously for the interior ceiling work of the same building. Iconoclast Innovations came with a remarkably unique and classical ACP design with ACP carved Jali, including concealed module LED lights, profile lights, and designer WPC designs on the elevation.
We had 30 days to accomplish this project which was relatively less time. Generally, 45 to 60 days is needed to complete this project as the place is an event hall; there were bookings scheduled after that 30 days, and we had a deadline on the 30th day, and Iconoclast Innovations executed it during the month of Ramadan, the biggest challenge was that the workers were fasting during the day and working whole night moreover their availability was inadequate and it also affected timings during this month. Although we managed to complete it in 30 days, that distinguished us from other peers.
As soon as the owners liked our designs and finalized them, we started the groundwork for the items which we installed as they were rare and unique, including antique classical lights; for ex:- Premium color Cream beach ACP, which was ordered from Punjab, the carving on jalis was also the difficult part during the process, Rajasthani craftsmen did the carving on jalis, designer WPC crafting with waterproof and high glossy paint.
The process started with iron framing on the entire area of 2200 sqft with heavy gauge iron pipes for the strong support of elevation; this process took a week, and soon the iron cladding was done, followed by aluminum cladding for installation of ACP sheets. Aluminum is attached using screws to the entire iron cladding for the perfect alignment of ACP sheets, and also aluminum is used to show the projection of design on the facade.
After completing the aluminum pipes cladding, we started the ACP sheets cladding of Cream beach ACP sheets on the elevation. On the other hand, the electricians did the electrical work, i.e., the fixing of module lights on the inner ACP sheets and the electrical wiring in the warehouse, as they were 15000 led modules attached to the ACP sheets and 200-meter profile lights which were being made ready to install it inside the facade for the bright lights which reflects out of the designer metallic bronze-colored ACP carved Jali which was done by the team of electrical engineers. After the ACP cladding was completed, we started the fixing of LED module sheets which were ready for the installation inside the elevation; the team of technicians was deployed at the site, and they continued the work for 10 days for the electrical wiring power supply connections to all modules and profile lights. Meanwhile, we fixed the designer WPC brackets and balconies on the elevation, crafted by Rajasthani craftsmen, which enhanced the beauty and gave the elevation the perfect vintage look that the owner sought. We specially ordered the silicon in the same color as the ACP sheet to give a natural and clean finish to the ACP and the entire elevation.
Today Officers’ mess function plaza stands tall as it’s the first ACP classical structure in Telangana combined with the lighting and design.
