ALPINE RESIDENTIAL TOWER
THE BRIEF
The “Alpine” tower is located in the heart of Mumbai, amidst the hustle of the city’s ever-growing skyline. The vistas along the building exterior open up to the city, while maintaining a respectful distance for the sake of the inhabitants’ privacy through the use of greens. This creates an air of exclusivity and swank to the otherwise clean and straightforward design.
DESIGN
The idea for having lush greenery in the balconies arose from the yearning to create a unique aesthetic, while maintaining the intrinsic value of the neighbourhood. The double -height floors provide a disconnect from the hustling city below which also serve as intra-interaction spaces. The lower levels are designated for parking which elevates the residences to a generous distance over the unfaltering city traffic. The vertical louvers that appear prominently at the base enhance the perception of building height.
