[1][2] The British architect Edwin Landseer Lutyens, a major member of the city-planning process, was given the primary architectural responsibility.

The completed Viceroy's House turned out very similar to the original sketches which Lutyens sent Herbert Baker, from Shimla, on 14 June 1912.

Lutyens and Baker, who had been assigned to work on Viceroy's House and the Secretariat building, began on friendly terms.

[3] The contract was awarded to multiple contractors, including primarily Sir Sobha Singh.

The Vice President's enclave will be on a site of 15 acres, with 32 five-storey buildings at a maximum height of 15 meters.
