Unistone’s Architectural Contribution

FRP Screens: A Facade That Breathes Life

Unistone’s FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Polymer) Screens are a signature feature of the auditorium’s façade. Spanning approximately 3,400 square feet, these panels measure 1,920 mm by 1,920 mm each and are precision-engineered to offer a flawless blend of design and durability.

Crafted to withstand extreme weather, UV radiation, and corrosion, these lightweight, eco-friendly screens require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for large-scale, long-lasting architecture. As the day progresses, natural light interacts with their intricate patterns to cast dynamic shadows, creating a constantly evolving visual experience.

GRC K-Shaped Columns: Strength Meets Style

Unistone’s bold GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete) K-Shaped Columns, covering 3,600 square feet, deliver structural integrity and aesthetic impact. Their unique K-shaped design creates a commanding architectural presence while supporting the structure with unmatched strength.

These columns are not only weather-resistant but also engineered for long-term stability. Their intricate form and visual symmetry add a distinctive identity to the building’s exterior, enhancing its contemporary appeal while reinforcing its structural foundation.

Architectural Beauty by Day and Night

During daylight, the auditorium’s bold lines, fluid shadows, and material textures come to life thanks to Unistone’s innovative façade solutions. But the real transformation begins at dusk.

As evening falls, the Dhono Dhanyo Auditorium becomes a luminous landmark. Warm lighting embedded into the FRP Screens brings out their artistic detailing, while the GRC Columns glow with subtle intensity, emphasising their geometric form. This stunning night view elevates the building’s presence across Kolkata’s skyline, making it a cultural and architectural icon.

Legacy of Innovation

Inaugurated on April 13, 2023, by Hon’ble Chief Minister Smt. Mamata Banerjee, the auditorium is now a hub for cultural events and performances, admired for both its functionality and design excellence.

Every element of this structure speaks to Unistone’s vision — building solutions that are sustainable, durable, and visually transformative. The Dhono Dhanyo Auditorium stands as a proud testament to how material innovation can redefine urban architecture.
