IMPERIAL TOWER ( HAFEEZ CONTRACTOR)

Imperial Tower is a 116-story residential building next to two existing

towers in Mumbai,India. At 400 meters, it will be one of the Mumbai's tallest
building, and will serve as aprototype for future tall towers in this densely
developed but currently low-rise city. Thetower's form is distinguished
by sensuous curves,lush skygardens and a high-performance, highly
reflective exterior wall. Theaerodynamic shape of the tower is designed
toconfuse the wind, minimizing negative effects ofwind action on
the building;the skygardens also help break up wind vortexesaround the
building. The terraces also function asbeautiful amenities for building occupants,
providingaccess to lightand views and a strong connection with the
naturalworld in a manner atypical for Mumbai. The exteriorwall provides a
strong visual contrast with the heavymasonry cladding ofmost surrounding
buildings; the wall system is alsohighly sustainable, blocking solar heat
gain anddiffusing direct sunlight in the city's hot, humidclimate. Other
sustainablefeatures include grey water collection and re-usesystems,
high-efficiency MEP systems, a green wallpodium and the use of native
plants throughout thelandscaping.The 76,000-square-meter tower features
132 luxury residential units, whose interiors weredesigned by AIA Chicag
