FORM OF THE WATER DROP
Water is a precious yet so common element on Earth, which is critically essential for the survival of all forms of life. Its own intrinsic character allows it to create different form of beauty in the nature. The concept of this building for The Indra Tower, is emerged from capturing the fluid state of which a single drop of water is freely dropping into water. The form of Indra Tower is smooth and in a streamline form as the droplet is in balance between gravity and dynamics before reaching into the water. The form of the building is composed with different depth of the balconies on each floor. It gives a lot of variety to each units and contain different characteristic on varying levels. The Indra Tower will be an iconic building within these area with its emphatic height. Each units are transcendent with their infinity and impressive view from different angle of the unit and ultimately to become one of the world class residential buildings in India.
The building form is designed in corresponding to the orientation of the view of the surroundings. The facade is facing North West which has the maximum and infinity sea view. Residents will enjoy a board sea view from each unit. While each units are facing the infinity sea view, There are the city view at the back, so the resident can enjoy both city and sea view within their own unit. Due to the impressive height of the building, all units are having the extensive view without any obstruction blocked their view and becoming the iconic building in this area. Sky club house is located on the roof of the building which provided an infinity view for the residents by making use of its outstanding height of the building. Airways is evidently a major consideration of this project as there are more than enough cross ventilation that will provided to each units to make sure each units are having enough fresh air.
Structural Variation
The major structural design of the Indra Tower is a combination of different structural system. The tower can be divided into four parts and each of them are separated by a transfer plate respectively. Building tower is a shear wall system with additional columns for supporting. While the car park podium part is a column and beam system in order to provide flexibility for car parking space. The structural system would offer more flexibility on combination of flat units whilst able to create and shape the dynamic building form at the same stroke.
