ORIENTATION▪ In Mumbai, buildings are ideally orientated east-west to catch the
prevailing sea-breezes, and views out to the Arabian Sea on one side and the harbour on the other: the same directions as the hot afternoon sun and heavy monsoon rains.
▪ Old bungalows solved these problems by wrapping a protective layer of verandas
▪ Kanchanjunga apartments are located south-west.
ORIENTATION
INNOVATION▪ Interlock of four different apartment typologies varying from 3 to 6
bedrooms each.
▪ Smaller displacements of levels.
▪ Differentiated between the external earth filled terraces and the internal elevated living volumes.
▪ Effectively shield these high rise units from the effects of both the sun and monsoon rains.
▪ Achieved by providing the tower with relatively deep, garden verandas, suspended in the air.
INNOVATION
INNOVATION▪ The building is a 32 story reinforced concrete structure with 6.3m
cantilevered open terraces.
▪ The central core is composed of lifts and provides the main structural element for resisting lateral loads.
▪ The central core was constructed ahead of the main structure by slip method of construction.

MATERIALS & COLOURS▪ The garden terraces of Kanchanjunga
apartments are actually a modern interpretation of a feature of the traditional Indian bungalow; Veranda.
▪ In India and other Asian countries, one finds a predominance of reds and yellows.
