I can see the curved portion getting its shape on the top floor

Yeah...True...Its great they are keeping the design....Indian Developers have the habit of changing it way too often that it ends up ugly sometimes with the exception of India Tower and a few others.

Thanks CG The tower has also started to bifurcate into its two wings - the gap is visible on the top floor.

P&T group submitted the design to the World Architecture Festival. Some more renderings from Open Building:

Inspired by the wind-filled sails of the boat docked along the Bombay coastline, this iconic residential tower culminates in two sail (like) features – taking in the views of the sea, just as the sail of the boats take in the winds, on the high sea’s. The Curved Sail’s will offer breathtaking panoramic sea / sea link views – embraced in the enclave of Bombay’s Worli Sea Face.

This iconic tower, offering the highest standards of luxurious living is slated to become home to the most affluential, dynamic and eminent individuals in the region.

Design Vision and Concept : - To create a high-rise landmark that would capture the views of the Arabian Sea to the North-West while providing for a complete nature immersed residential experience. - To create a new benchmark of ultra luxurious sky villa living for the region.

Massing Concept - Drawing inspiration from the lifestyle of the super rich, the towers evolved from the concept of exclusive villas in the sky, with lush planting and a very lavish expanse of space taking luxurious living to a new level. - The form is an abstracted interpretation of the majestic sails of the boats out at the Arabian Sea. Billowing in the sea breeze, these abstracted sails of Ahuja Towers, punctuate the skyline like beacons of architectural precision rising to more than 200 meters.

- A 10 storey podium elevates the two towers, with the first residential unit effectively starting from the 12th floor level, leaving the city bustle behind through the vertical buffer. - The 55 storey iconic building is sheathed in sleek structural glazing to envelope residential units that would be the epitome of luxurious living in this thriving Indian city. A cleft through this elegantly proportioned glass sculpture provides a view slot through interspaced landscaped decks while creating relief in the building mass and forming a pair of conjoined towers Units and Sky Terraces: - Stacked up vertically, each level provides a varied experience to the residents. - With each tower housing only one unit per floor, there are only 74 elusive residences, including 6 penthouse duplexes, in this exclusive development for the discerning handful.

- This premium development caters for a host of facilities including a business centre, a mini theatre, squash court, spa & salon, gymnasium, and all club amenities alongside an Environmental deck on the 11th Floor. - Refuge areas on the rear of the building face are beautifully landscaped and integrated within the extent of the apartment offering the luxury of green sky terraces to each unit. - The environmental deck has an infinity lap pool, Jacuzzi, multipurpose hall, landscaped deck areas along with facilities for children. - The cleft in the building mass separating the two towers is lined up with landscaped decks creating a green fissure between the glass towers.
