ROLE: PROJECT SIZE:SCOPE:

Architect, Planner 2.54 Acre

Master Plan

The Tirumala Flora Master Plan Design approach was to preserve the end users requirements for sustainable and practical luxury. This is the stepping stone for this new development as the plan preserves existing established communal relationships and turns them into newer and more spacious living environments, while allowing the opportunity to weave new residents seamlessly into renewed aspirations of urbanism and social living.Each of the four new towers though similar in architectural form offer a unique identity that are interconnected to the whole. Each individual and distinct tower, like the community it represents plays a vital role to the entire master plan development. The towers are linked by a double height commercial spine that frames a large, dynamic multi purpose civic space. The interplay of the towers revolving around this focal point, with its specific orientation, varying heights, unique identifying colors, and strategic framing of view corridors evokes play of form and function in a choreographed dance. The mission of this planned development is to instill positive and collaborative social environment.

Inspired by the movement of the waves due to the low and high pressure in the sea, this 410 m tall Tower at Worli is poetry to the eye. Its breathtaking circular shaped is not only a symbol to the rising waves, but has been designed considering a high rises vortex shedding. I low vertex shedding a circular structure allows smooth flowing of wind compared to sharp edges of a tower which causes obstruction in the flow resulting in wind pockets.

Wind energy is considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly ways of producing energy compared to more conventional ones. Keeping in mind the height of this 90 story structure coupled with its ideal location we have proposed wind turbines to harvest energy for the building as well as taking the steo towards greener building and environment.

This 90 story building will be divided in 10 floors of podium parking with a parking capacity of 393 cars above which the lagoon shaped tension swimming pool, lounge, and health club will be built. The remaining 4 floors are divided into 9 duplex (18 floors) as well as 5 or 6 BHK on the remaining levels. Every master bedroom and living room has been flipped over at alternate levels in order to face the personal deck area and swimming pool with a double height terrace. With one pair per floor a personalized lobby on each floor has been created with separate entry for the servants room.

The tower will be completed soon and give residents a breathtaking 360 degree view of the Arabian Sea and surrounding city.
