The Pyramids – Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates

2024

Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates and built between 1967 and 1972, the Pyramids Office Parkin Indianapolis consists of three iconic 11-story buildings, clad in reflective blue glass and defined by their striking pyramidal geometry. Originally envisioned as part of a nine-building campus for the College Life Insurance Company, the design replaced a single 20-story tower with a modular system that could accommodate phased expansion.

The Pyramids were central to a broader vision known as “The Total Community”—a 613-acre master plan that included residential and commercial zones within walking distance, embodying a forward-thinking approach to corporate urbanism.

Inspired by a roadside chunk of concrete, the sculptural forms rise out of the landscape with monumental clarity, blending Brutalist sensibilities with futuristic ambition.
