The premier CBD area currently....BKC...BEST has recieved a good response after they have started 5 AC routes starting/ending from BKC.



Current attractive building in BKC which will be replaced once The Capital is completed



The glass building on the right was in the news lately when Citibank leased the whole building at quite a price .Its in final stage of completion

MMRDA have given out junctions like these to corporates for installation of fountains.

The newest new design

Cybertecture is the ultimate expression of innovative art married with functional needs in consideration of the environment and humanity. The new commercial complex located in Mumbai, India ”The Capital” deliberately reveals her calmness, gracefulness and elegance. It is an extremely challenging work to develop a revolutionary design concept for an office with AAA- grading and achieving over 80% efficiency simultaneously. It integrated the sustainable concept, form and functionality that inspire the office building design and urban context in India like never before.

• Architects: James Law Cybertecture International
• Project: The Capital
• Location: Kurla Complex, Bandra, Mumbai India
• Expected Completion Date : 2nd qtr 2011(estimated)
• Use: Office
• Total GFA: ~ 66347 sq.m.
• Bldg. Scale: G+ 17 Levels
• Parking Lot: ~ 700 Lots
• Software used: AutoCAD, Sketchup and 3DSMax

Environmental
Amidst constant contest with design criteria and constrains, James Law Cybertecture international limited always positioned the environmental issues in the top priority. At the podium level, diffusers installed at the ceiling level reflected natural light into the atrium which significantly reduces the lighting energy demand. Spot cooling system is also adopted in the atrium to avoid unnecessary cooling load. Openable windows in office floors allow natural and cross ventilation in daily operation.


For the building enclosure, there are three major features in the building. An incredible stepped-in glazed valley façade is created at the West elevation of the building. The facade is stepped while each floor supported by feature columns and cantilevered in a way that the building itself act as a shading device. A masterpiece egg shape structure inscribed inside the wonderful sky lobby at the East elevation. There are natural waterfalls and vegetations situated on both sides of the sky lobby. They enhance the cooling effect of the atrium. People can also enjoy the beautiful scenery in this communal space. The sparkling LED stripes protruded on the facade of “The capital” do not only act as an urban information display device, but also play the role of sun shading devices. The interior and exterior cladding system are adopted PVDF coating which are easily maintain and UV resisting.


Smart parking
One of the innovation designs of “The Capital” is the intellectual parking system. By means of using internet and smart card system, occupants can log in and command the system in their office in prior to picking up their cars. Therefore, the lap time can be shortened.

tidbit on the facade:

The concept of the C-66 is to create the scenic view of a stunning waterfall with natural running water through the C-66 building facade, with installation of an infinity pool on the Eastern front of the building.

Is it the same land over which Mukesh Ambani was supposed to build the convention center?
