This 28-story tower is a part of a master-planned area that includes office space, hotel, retail and residential towers in a 175,000 sq. ft. / 16,260 sq. m. of area.
The top four levels house the headquarters of the Oberoi Development Company, with the rest of the tower available for lease. The tower is oriented with its broad facades facing north and south to maximize solar control. The southern exposure incorporates horizontal sunscreens for sun protection. The building's gentle, sweeping curved form presents a landmark image to the major north-south Mumbai highway.
The master planning and design for this world-class, high-tech terminal for India's second-busiest airport is built on a 2.7 million sq. ft. / 250,000 sq. m. This international terminal will add more than double the airport's current passenger capacity. Passengers will experience a terminal that maximizes the use of natural light, giving a feeling of openness.
The arrivals experience, especially, has been designed to provide a memorable welcome to India. The new terminal will open in time to accommodate the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India. The team designed 1.3 million sq. ft. of renovation projects to refurbish and extend existing terminals. The concept design also includes a multi-story car park and an airport village commercial center.
