why hate on HC? Couldnt that retard AMBANI asked for sleek, aerodynamic design for RESIDENT ANTHILLA instead of this ugly retangular commie style building which is a pure eye sore. Hating on hafeez isn't gonna solve problem. Its how these owners cutting corners like lawn mowing. Thats the real issue. Just look at THE IMPERIAL TWINS.

Just look at the mess they made out of HC's The imperials, no dark alluminum cladding as the rendering warrented.

Hindustani, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but if you knew anything about architecture, you'd know why I (don't know about the rest of 'em) don't like the building in question. No one's hating on Hafeez for no reason. He is super successful, and that's great, but if I were him, I'd put my power and name to good use in the city of Bombay. By good use, I mean, think about what I'm designing in the context of the city, neighbourhood, etc. I can go on about this for hours, really. His office works like a production line, churning out designs and drawings on a massive scale like no other office (trust me, I know). I don't have an issue with the money making enterprise that he runs, but surely, rational thought makes one wonder how he manages to maintain and control quality across the board.

It needs to be stated here for the record: Just because some of us happen to comment negatively on some of Hafeez's designs, it certainly does not automatically mean that we're in love with the other monstrosities you listed above. The tower looks like it will stand out among the mass of ugly concrete, but is that what we're looking for at the end of the day? A statement? Something that stands out (in this case, like a sore thumb)? It all depends what you look for in a building.

HC's Imperial was never planned with dark cladding (even if a couple renders show otherwise), and even it was, it would be HC who'd have approved the change in cladding colour...just so you know.

As for the "retard" Ambani's approval of Perkins and Will's design, he's new money, and that can't buy you taste, so there...
No one's against glass and steel here, only if used tastefully and in the right proportion, and you must understand that so-called "modern/ contemporary" architecture isn't all about glass and steel m8, there's so much more to it. SO MUCH MORE.

cheers

P.S: don't hate on us for voicing our opinions against cheapness

[Bombay Boy]

what people need to keep in mind is that for residential buildings a sleek glass covered building is totally non-desirable in terms of floor-space and energy requirements. you need windows and you need a rectangular floor-plate to maximise utility

nobody wants to live in an extremely flashy building. a tastefully done one yes. flashy no

wow.. those are very harsh words for people who dont like what you like. i cant see how Residence Anthila is a cookie cutter. its the most unique retard building of its kind.

Just because everything else looks ugly doesnt make HC any good. His designs are not world class. he should design buildings for video games. checkout SOm's website to see the real architects. HC is just mediocre.

It can been seen on the skyline (u/c with crane right of Antilla). This will look fantastic if they to light the top like in the render. it will change that whole area. Along with the Imperial, Antilla and Orbit.

The tower is called Le Pallazo. I remember Sun once posting a pic and pointing it out on wikimapia.

Here's a large render stitched from a flash file on the developer's (Sri Group) website -



The keywords mentioned on the left are the developer's key offerings and don't reflect the tower's use.

haha. good one. better than the crap that billionaire ambani is building called resident antilla. Thats the ugliest most expensive cookie cutter building coming up in bombay period. so please. give this one a serious break.

[India101]

So this is Le Pallazo. Poor Mukesh won't have a view in a few more years. All the neighbors seem to be getting taller.

[Bombay Boy]

antilla is a whole lot better than this plastic kitsch. at least from a residential perspective

[KB335ci2]

Wow, so much glass. Wow, so much steel. haha

Looks so much uglier enlarged.

[ubermeow]

FYI, look at the render and decide, if this isn't the same building that's called Vijay Kamdar .....it is!!

[bhargavsura]

Love it.

Eh, Antilla looks better than this. Ugly? Perhaps. Cookie cutter? No.

[Marathaman]

I think its a good design. The rendering makes it look cheap.

[TdotTdot]

It does look like boxes stacked on top of each other. Did he design it with lego?

I agree. The rendering is not a realistic portrayal of how the building will look in real life. It's a realistic portrayal of how it would look in simcity.
