 STRUCTURE SYSTEM

● The structure comprises a

concrete core and post tensioned
concrete slab and spandrel beams.
● The average centre to centre
distance between columns is 9.5m
● The column is of 1.8m x 1.8m
● The tube system concept is based
on the idea that a building can be
designed to resist lateral loads.
● This assembly of columns and
beams forms a rigid frame that
amounts to a dense and strong
structural wall along the exterior of
the building.

 Facade Details:

● The façade consists of faceted unitized

aluminum curtain walls with provisions for
high performance double glass façades on the
tower. The towers are linked by a podium with
a façade of custom point-supported glazing on
specialty steel trusses.
● Diamond edges of the building having
aluminum flashing with LED lighting are the
unique feature
● The Unitized Panel with 15 mm vertical
movement would accommodate floor
movement, slab edge deflection, building creep
and thermal expansion at every floor unit. No
scaffolding required for unitized panel
installation. This is done by floor crane / panel
hoisting. Hence the installation is very fast at
site.
● The type of glass used were Spandrel glass as
DGU of 30mm (6mm HS + 18mm Air gap +
6mm HS) and Vision glass VLT –-36 per cent,
SHGC between 0.23, U value of 1.5 W/m2.k
(BTU 0.26). As per architectural intent, Grey
appearance of glass was used. The glass was
selected on the basis of higher external
Reflection value & Lower internal reflection
value.

recently been widely used for many
structures, specially in high rise
buildings.
