Normal has been selected as one of the five winning firms in the Spiretec Design Competition. The brief asked for the design of 62,750 square meters mixed-use area as part of an IT office complex located in Greater Noida, New Delhi, India. The program included: housing, hotel, library, auditorium, convention centre, bank facilities, wellness centre, clubs, restaurants, and office spaces.

Normal's proposal, titled "Red is Green", imagines the site as a composition of hallways and rooms, and reintroduces primal principles of architecture and urbanism to Greater Noida. It emphasises the use of local materials, and aims to create a space that is at the same time embedded within its cultural context and rich in its appearance.
 
The Normal team included: Camilo Cruz (MUD '11), Hannes Gutberlet, Katherine Jarno (MUD '12), Adrian Phiffer (MUD '07, Sessional Lecturer '10-'11), Shirin Rohani (MUD '08).
