ONGC HQ

The ONGC headquarters (Greenhills office building) in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, designed by Hafeez Contractor, is defined by a striking 76-metre-diameter atrium wrapped in a pre-stressed cable-net façade with high-transparency architectural wire mesh panels supplied by KAPHS from Haver & Boecker.

The semi-transparent mesh envelope doubles as a highly effective solar-shading device, filtering daylight into the atrium while preserving views out and giving the corporate headquarters its distinctive, light-filled architectural identity.

Architectural wire mesh at ONGC HQ

Specified in stainless steel across a range of weaves, apertures and finishes, the mesh offers solar shading, fall protection and acoustic benefits while remaining largely transparent and virtually maintenance-free.

As the Middle East partner for premium architectural materials, KAPHS supplies the Haver & Boecker weave — architectural wire mesh that combines transparency, durability and a refined metallic finish for façades, cladding and feature screens. Sourced through Haver & Boecker, the mesh at ONGC HQ was engineered to perform in the region’s demanding climate while elevating the building’s identity.

For architects, developers and contractors across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, this project shows how architectural wire mesh can transform a landmark scheme — balancing aesthetics, daylight, privacy and durability in equal measure. Every panel was selected, engineered and delivered to exacting tolerances, and backed by KAPHS’s regional expertise the result is a surface that looks exceptional on day one and keeps performing for decades in the Middle East climate. As one of the region’s most recognisable installations of its kind, ONGC HQ stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.

KAPHS is the Middle East’s specialist supplier of architectural mesh, glass and steel, trusted on landmark projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh and Kuwait. From sampling and engineering through fabrication to on-site support, our team helps architects, developers and contractors deliver ambitious façades with confidence.
