The twenty-first and twenty-second storeys are duplex penthouses The site, being an elongated one, posed several constraints but the final outcome turned out quite satisfactory. the unusual feature of the design is a 8’ cantilever refuge area, deemed necessary statutory authorities for fire-fighting. The inspiration for the elevation of the building came from the movie, ’ Batman.’ (or Darth Vader in StarWars)The building tower is setback so that a certain amount of frontage is allowed, while the podium covers almost the entire site. |
