Blog 8-Jacob Hatch – Kanchanjunga Apartments by Charles Correa

This is a 28 story condominium that has 32 luxury apartments it is located in Mumbai, India and opened in 1974. This looks like a simple apartment building with a garden terrace and a great city view but for the design of this building is much more complex. The best view is the east-west axis which is of the Arabian sea and the harbor and from this you can also feel the sea breeze but the only problem with this is the hot afternoon suns and the hard monsoon rains. To work with the climate and the location Charles had it at the east-west axis and had a bungalow wrap around the main living area so with this the garden would act as a buffer for the sun and rain all while thriving from it.
