Project has the diversity of a neighbourhood that is built around a communal, recreational space, which is Lodha Park. Worli is one of the highly desirable parts of Mumbai and due to project people are moving into this area of the city due to the ample green spaces. Project is providing a street life by integrating a commercial establishment along the street edge and enabling the project to engage with the city rather than isolate itself.

Character and Uniqueness:

The project was conceived as a neighbourhood, rather than a single development. The six towers were designed as two pairs in which each pair has a unique design, and two towers that complement each other. All the structures embody similar principles in terms of environmental and community features, but they are expressed in different ways. Towers 1 and 2 take the idea of Chhatris, which are elevated, Towers 3 and 4 use contemporary versions of Jaalis, which are latticed screens, usually with an ornamental pattern and faceted forms. Towers 5 and 6 play with scale and repetition.

The shape of the expanded towers makes them highly resistant to wind and earthquakes. In the event of power outages, the cross-ventilated apartments are a lot more habitable than spaces that rely on air-conditioning.
