This apartment building is located in Santhome, at the site of the historic Oceanic Hotel, a nostalgic old favorite haunt for Chennai citizens.
It was very natural to conceive of a lifestyle concept to bring together the sea, sand and sky in a modern architecture with strong references to these elements.
The L shaped site dictated the coming together of two blocks that shift and adjust to the views. A large opening accepts the introduction of a shell shaped Yoga pavilion that pays homage to the sea and its mysteries beyond.
Rising out of the ground is a green parking podium that connects with the glassy apartment blocks that slip and slide to give the facade a rhythmic balance.
On the top level of the building sit sky villas and a clubhouse with a lap pool.
The overall experience is of spaces and places that reach far out beyond the site to connect with the elements.
这栋公寓大楼坐落于钦奈Santhome区的历史建筑物海洋酒店(Oceanic Hotel)的旧址——那儿曾是最受金奈居民喜欢的流连怀旧的热点。
在这种自然环境下,一种汇集海洋、沙滩和蓝天的生活方式概念油然而生,引申为一种凸显这些元素的现代建筑。
呈L形的基地,促成了以两栋大楼构成建筑主体,而景观视野则决定了两栋大楼在布局上的调整。大楼中央腾出宽阔空间,安置了一个贝壳形的瑜伽亭阁,以向海洋及她的神秘致敬。
拔地而起的绿色停车场裙楼, 连通着以玻璃为主材料的公寓楼。玻璃窗台参差变幻,给予建筑立面一种富有节奏的平衡。
位于大楼顶层的是空中别墅、私人会所和小型游泳池。
