GROVE TOWERS IS LOCATED IN MUMBAI.

Photographs taken by members of team iand; with thanks xn studio (3xn) The designs for the mangrove-inspired ‘grove towers’ that will shortly be constructed in Mumbai have recently been released by the Danish architectural firm 3xn studio… Architects from the 3xn firm, who are recognized for their use of architecture at the nexus between science and art as well as between iconic design and context, have revealed the concept for their first project to be located in Mumbai. The project spans 78.000 square meters and is said to resemble “a cluster of trees seemingly braided together.” It was inspired by the indian nature and mumbai’s almost-forgotten mangroves. The project is said to resemble “a cluster of mangrove stalks seemingly braided together” at the base of each tower. The two towers of the mixed-use development project converge at the lower retail floors, rising up to create amenity spaces on the podium, then growing into the sky as a cluster of thin trees to provide some of the most meticulously put out residential accommodations in Mumbai. Every apartment has a view in at least two different directions, with many windows facing the mangroves to the north and the indian ocean to the west. “with this design for grove towers,” says kim herforth nielsen, partner and creative director at 3xn, “we wanted to create something exceptional for mumbaikars and the developer, opulent rooms.” Every time I go to India, I am blown away by the extent to which I can see the power of community in all facets of Indian culture and society. I want this to be a community that not only brings people together but also serves as a stage for their development and maturation. In addition, the project is a demonstration of how 3xn’s innovation unit, gxn, may be integrated into the design process. Because of their contribution to the design of the facade, the amount of direct solar gain is greatly reduced, the amount of naturally occurring ventilation is increased, and the building strives to achieve LEED Gold certification. Because it has more than 2500 square meters worth of vertical gardens, the building reduces the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the air in Mumbai’s muggy and crowded atmosphere. It is anticipated that the building would take three years. Please visit inditerrain.indiaartndesign.com in order to see the photographs.
