Located near the Dharavi metro station, the project plays a significant role in connecting the bustling streets of Dharavi with the commercial hub of Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The design seamlessly integrates with the surrounding urban landscape, offering public spaces, retail areas, and commercial offices. The dynamic layout encourages pedestrian movement, providing a vibrant public interaction space that caters to the diverse needs of Dharavi's inhabitants.
The project emphasizes sustainability through innovative design and material choices. Features like Z-shaped louvers on connecting bridges ensure cross ventilation and protect against sun and rain. The division of the building into two sections allows ample natural light to penetrate the central courtyard, creating a unique microclimate. The integration of solar panels and green spaces contributes to eco-compatibility, reducing the building's environmental footprint. While the project has not yet received specific certifications, its design aligns with sustainable architecture practices.
