Aikya Signature is a stand-alone residential tower at Tardeo, in the heart of South Bombay.  This tower is personified by its geometric linear design and is supported by the sustainable systems which were organically incorporated into the design. An important aspect of this system is the façade of the building which is engineered in a way to protect the indoors from the tropical Mumbai climate. The east west orientation of the building provides ample  north light to the main living areas. This orientation of the building also naturally ventilates the structure.

Located between the sea and a major highway, the building forms a moment of stability. Nimrod Levi The ground floor, which serves both the reception area and the parking lot, establishes the balanced nature of the building. Half sustained by columns, half by concrete walls, it presents the visitors with a dialectic of shadow and light and of lightness and stability. In a more subtle manner, the three pairs of columns—each comprised of a thin circular column followed by an elongated, massive, (yet playful), vertical support—imply an interplay between fixed and fl...

This 80 m² property was built in 1930, with highly compartmentalised spaces and inner rooms with no ventilation to the outside. This home in the Patraix district, to the south of Valencia, required a refurbishment that would adapt to the young couple’s reality. The starting point was therefore defined as extending spaces to enhance natural light and cross-ventilation within the home. Our proposal is based on an architectural design that combines all spaces, making them more permeable and better connected. It seeks a wood-covered element to unify the home, featuring from west to east, and which contains much of the programme. It thus reinforces the idea of a simple utilitarian element and a joint open space. Caption This vo... More
