'Water-Droplet' shaped building in India.


Amazing 'Water-Drop' shaped building in India 

1. The concept of The Indra Tower, is emerged from capturing the fluid state of which a single drop of water is freely dropping into water. Located in Dadar, Mumbai, the residential tower stands 300m tall. The total built up area (BUA) is 34,000.00sqm.

2.The form of the building is composed of different depth of the balconies on each floor. This gives variety to each unit and contains different characteristics on varying levels.

3.The building form is designed corresponding to the orientation of the view of the surroundings. The facade faces North West. Residents will enjoy broad sea view from each unit.
 
4.The major structural design of the Indra Tower is a combination of different structural systems. The tower can be divided into four parts and each of them is separated by a transfer plate respectively.
