  • Plot Details (from provided table for Plots 292, 293, 294):

    • Plot Area: Approximately 45.75 sqm each (total ~137.25 sqm or ~2,567 sqm combined in the highlighted row).

    • Existing construction shows multiple members (flats/shops/garages), with total members around 27–35 across plots.

  • The site is in a densely plotted residential zone with surrounding plots numbered in the 368/xx series, roads like ES 40, WS 24, and proximity to metro/transport links.

 

Design Concept

​

The proposal features a modern high-rise luxury residential tower with a strong emphasis on vertical elegance, sustainable elements, and premium finishes. Key visual highlights from the renders:

​

  • Architectural Style: Sleek contemporary tower with vertical fluted/ribbed facades (beige/gray tones with warm bronze/copper accents). Large glass curtain walls, curved balconies with integrated greenery/planters, and dramatic cantilevered elements.

  • Height & Massing: Tall, slender profile (appears 15–20+ floors based on the stacked residential floors diagram). Features a podium level with commercial/retail, multi-level parking (including basement), recreation areas, and upper residential floors.

  • Key Features Visible:

    • Spacious private balconies/terraces on multiple levels with lush planters and trees.

    • Floor-to-ceiling glazing for natural light and views.

    • Rooftop/terrace amenities with greenery.

    • Elegant evening lighting and golden-hour aesthetics.

    • High-end materials: Glass, metal cladding, concrete, and wood-toned accents.

  • Floor Use Breakdown (from the provided sectional diagram):

    • Basement + Lower Levels: Parking (multi-level).

    • Podium: Commercial + Parking + Ground level.

    • Upper Floors (6–17): Residential units.

    • Top Levels: Recreation + additional residential/amenity spaces.

 

The design prioritizes luxury living with biophilic elements (greenery on balconies), natural ventilation, and a landmark presence suitable for Mumbai's redevelopment norms.

​

1. Project Vision

“Vertical Sanctuary – Where Architecture Meets Nature”

The proposed redevelopment transforms the existing low-rise structures of Saket Prem into a landmark luxury residential tower that embodies refined urban living. The design fuses contemporary elegance with biophilic principles, creating a serene vertical oasis in the heart of Mumbai. It balances density with spaciousness, offering residents an elevated lifestyle defined by natural light, greenery, privacy, and panoramic views.

​

2. Architectural Language

The tower adopts a sleek, sculptural modernist aesthetic with strong vertical emphasis:

  • Facade Composition: Clean, monolithic volumes punctuated by rhythmic vertical fluting/ribbing in warm beige and stone tones. Rich bronze/copper metallic accents provide contrast and sophistication.

  • Signature Element: Generous curved, cantilevered balconies that wrap around corners, creating dynamic shadow play and a sense of movement. These balconies feature deep planters with integrated greenery, softening the built form.

  • Material Palette:

    • High-performance glass (floor-to-ceiling)

    • Textured stone/concrete panels

    • Warm bronze anodized metal cladding

    • Wood-toned detailing

  • Massing: Slender, elegant tower profile (approximately 17–20+ floors) with a distinct podium base, recessed upper floors, and a crown featuring rooftop amenities.

 

3. Key Design Features

Biophilic Integration Heavy emphasis on greenery at every level — private balconies with trees and shrubs, cascading vertical gardens, sky terraces, and a lush rooftop sanctuary. This creates a “living building” that improves air quality, biodiversity, and resident wellbeing.

Balconies & Terraces Each residential unit benefits from large, usable private balconies (many with curved geometry) that blur indoor-outdoor boundaries. These serve as personal green retreats with views of the city or green surroundings.

Entrance & Lobby A grand, double-height glass entrance with a revolving door, featuring dramatic lighting, high ceilings, and abundant indoor planting. The lobby creates an immediate sense of arrival and luxury.

Amenities & Lifestyle Spaces

  • Rooftop Sky Lounge: Expansive terrace with fire pit, lounging areas, dining zones, and 360° city views.

  • Infinity Pool & Deck: Indoor/outdoor pool area surrounded by tropical landscaping.

  • State-of-the-Art Gym & Wellness: Floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooking greenery and the city.

  • Multi-level Podium: Includes parking, commercial spaces (if applicable), and recreational areas.

Lighting Strategy Subtle uplighting on vertical ribs, warm LED accents on balcony edges, and dramatic interior lighting create a glowing beacon at night while maintaining elegance.

 

4. Floor Use Concept

  • Basement Levels: Multi-level parking

  • Podium: Ground + Lower levels – Entrance lobby, commercial/retail, resident amenities, parking

  • Mid to Upper Floors: Premium 2 & 3 BHK residences with large balconies

  • Top Floors: Exclusive duplexes / larger units with expansive terraces

  • Rooftop: Recreational sky deck

 

5. Core Design Philosophy

  • Timeless Elegance — Modern without being cold; warm materials and organic curves.

  • Contextual Sensitivity — Respects the scale of surrounding Mogra neighborhood while establishing a new landmark.

  • Sustainability Focus — Greenery for passive cooling, high-performance glazing, rainwater harvesting potential, and energy-efficient design.

  • Resident-Centric — Maximum natural light, cross-ventilation, privacy, and connection to nature.
