Highrise housing development

Project location: Swargate, Pune, Maharastra

Typology: Residential Highrise

Carpet area: 33400 sq.m

Year: 2023

In a city marked by perpetual population growth, the emergence of high-rise housing developments is inevitable. This project aspires to become a sanctuary for a diverse community while fostering inclusivity, yet maintaining an air of exclusivity for its residents. These towers advocate for co-living and inclusivity by providing a range of options, from cozy two-room apartments to expansive four-room dwellings.

“As a pair of towers ascend into the sky, they bear the individuals and families they shelter soaring towards aspirations yet to be realized.”.”
