News & Blogs Temple View , Hughes Road – Sumptuous Structure Category Project Date Feb 2022 Writer Vinay Patil Temple View , Hughes Road – Sumptuous Structure The project is loacted at the most prominent roads of Mumbai. After looking at the site no other briefing was required. The location has a blend of Heritage buildings , modern buildings which are moslty residential zone. Many a times location plays an integral part of our vision for a tower. Since the site was very close to Arabian Sea, having sea view for each flat was thought of. Since the plot is compact and has roads on all 3 sides of the plot, commercial on the ground floor was proposed . There are luxury car showrooms and jewellery shops close to this building which was taken as a tool to propose for a commercial. Initial Thought Process While planning since the plot is 1000 sq. mts. It was challenging to fit all the brief into one project. Concept wise as a team Vinay Patil Architects thought of a single flat per floor. The initial sketches have the elevators opening to the flat directly. Since this is a building which is above 70 Mts its categorised as a High- Rise Building.The requirement of staircase and elevators increases drastically. With planning the typical there are 2 more constraints. Firstly, is adding a ramp parking for the residences and secondly having an independent parking and access to commercial within the same project. It took a lot of time to amalgamate all the features in the very same project. All this planning of commercial one level and car park for 7 floors helped push the residential flats to this higher floor. Most of the buildings in the surrounding area are just 5-7 floors. This gave an unobstructed view of the Arabian sea and the Queens necklace to each apartment. Using Steel The advantage of using steel is incredible in any project today. Time is an important factor for any project. Steel helps the structure span longer distance with few columns, this makes the structure light thus reducing the deal load of the building.Today even formwork of the structure is made of steel and aluminium. This helps in casting a slab in 9 days which earlier used to take 21-30 days. We architects find steel good in giving strength, beauty, and design freedom. Its fast, efficient, and resourceful. It is fire resistant and can be recyclable. Steel also helps in making the building earthquake resistant. Architecture Features Planning of this building was to propose lot of French windows which allowed more interaction of the resident to the outside. Concept was more of a contemporary design building which had cleaning lines not too heavy to the eye. Using Full height windows allows more natural light into each residence. Since there is a recreational floor after the parking levels, inculcating landscape in this floor allowed increasing the green fabric within the building. The idea was to re-use, re-collect water and light. This allowed reducing carbon footprint of the project. Geometrics Since the project was a small plot the parking levels took the shape of the plot as it allowed to fit more carparks within a floor plate. But the residential tower we wanted it to look taller, more vertical. If you see the proposed tower the elements used in the car park grill has a more vertical screen which helps mare the building, look taller. Using the right colours helps us achieve the concept. Proposing a triplex Sky Villa at the top for aspiring industrialist who are in constant look for such residences. To increase the green cover, addition of planters to the screen covering the car park was done. The realisation was that keeping the details simple helps execute the project better. Keeping all the details functional is very important for us so each element proposed is thoroughly thought thru. Software used for designing and detailing There are 3 stages in every design a project goes through. First the drawings are made in AutoCAD which closes all the 2-dimensional aspects of a project. Later to make a test fit in 3 dimension is done. Sketch Up 3D software is used. It gives first cut analysis of the project. There are series of alterations and modification which this project went through. Adding a roof terrace program for the members of the tower. The roof top terrace has lots of plants. Since there will be lot of wind specific plants only can be proposed. The architect added to their team various consultants who helped them gather and compile a comprehensive network of Services, Structure, Vertical Travel, Landscape, Parking, Façade Lighting, Glazing, Window Consultant etc. Project Experience & Timelines This project is a dream come true for any architect. To start with blessed with a great client. Having a client who supports an architect and completely trusting them with their approach is very rare. This helped the team explore various options. The project was therefore more resolved. Keeping a concept idea as pure as possible is not easy to plan today. It was a proud feeling to achieve all that was discussed in the preliminary stage. There was a sense of accomplishment in the design. A typical design is what was strived for and what can be stated that this design is not very common.The Project has received its IOD approval. The plan is to start work post November 2021. The client is targeting to completing this project, if possible, in 36 Months. It’s a herculean task not easy to achieve but they shall strive for. So, the hope is to see this project be an addition to the Mumbai Skyline by 2024. Quoteshoot: “Getting a client who trusts an architects’ vision and intent today is much more important. We were blessed with our client who has clearly supported us all through this project. The design which we have proposed has higher floor to floor heights and large spans. This

Projects Views, Vikroli East, Mumbai Architect VPArch Client Truearth Developers Pvt. Ltd. Project Type Residential Date May 2024 Views is a high density 3 buildings with 23 storey each. Going vertical means there is more utilization of steel in any project. The elevators also in this project are high speed elevators. The commercial retail ground and first floor along with a commercial office has an aluminium curtain glazing with glass. This makes the commercial space connected with environment allowing more visual connect. There is a car parking tower which is proposed with MSMB 150×150 frameworks with ACP cladding, since it’s easy to install and complete within a short span of time. The terrace elevation element also has portal frames with MS horizontal hollow steel sections as represented in the views. VIEWS, VIKROLI KANAMWAS NAGAR , MUMBAI The name ‘Views’ was conceptualised since from the 7th floor and above all the residents can enjoy views of the mangroves and the creek from within their homes. Views is a mixed use development. It has commercial retail, commercial office, residential rehab and residential sale component. It is a complex mixed use project. The location of this project is fantastic since it connects residents in this area to the Western Suburbs of Mumbai thru JVLR, to thane and to Mumbai City. Metro 4, which is Mumbai-Thane connector, will pass thru this location. We have proposed compact homes with 450 sq. ft. and 350 sq. ft. units. There are 250 residential sale units; since the density of units is higher we through of providing common amenities for the entire complex. All the 3 buildings are connected on the terrace with terrace programs such as jogging track, gazebo for meditation at the terrace, benches along with a terrace which will have potted plants to increase the green foot print. Additionally, the buildings will have other amenities such as a community hall, library for senior citizens and yoga studio. We are proposing solar panels on the terrace of the car park tower so that all the common area lights are solar powered, thus reducing the power usage from the grid.

News & Blogs Intellectual of the Year 2023 Category Project Date May 2020 Writer Vinay Patil SSMB ARticle May 2022 – Arista, MumbaiArista, a classically designed Mumbai building, draws inspiration from Greek architecture, emphasizing aesthetic singularity and visual opulence. Lavish living spaces boast 11-foot ceilings and private foyers, while every home features a sprawling sun deck. Spacious bedrooms with elegant flooring and veneer doors complete the luxurious feel. The grand lobby makes a striking first impression.The concept aimed to revive Mumbai’s colonial architecture, replicating the inviting proportions and hand-drawn details of British-era buildings. Vinay Patil Architects embraced the challenge, envisioning Arista as a rebirth of classical architecture. Drawing inspiration from the structural logic of load-bearing stone buildings, the 18-story structure features a heavier base and lighter upper levels.Research into Greek and Roman architecture emphasized simplicity of form and function. Each RCC design element is cast on-site, with customized steel formwork ensuring high-quality finishes. Cornices, moldings, column details, and steel railings were individually detailed. Sourcing skilled labor for specific tasks proved challenging. A separate facade lighting package highlights the building’s features at night. Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) will be used for some non-RCC elements, and a Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) angel statue will adorn the podium.The project is over 50% complete and progressing as envisioned. The architects believe design should not be limited by fear of execution. Vinay Patil notes the client’s desire for a classical design, the research into Italian architecture, and the two-part division of the building into lobby/parking and residential tower. A 1.5-meter transfer floor, detailed with architectural elements, marks the transition. The design echoes Italian load-bearing projects, with heavier elements at the base and lighter ones above. The roof parapet wall and balcony railings were custom-designed for the project. Related News & Blogs Eldrok Award 2022 Construction Opportunity Magazin Patil Villa Nashik

In an exclusive interview to CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES, AR. VINAY PATIL, DIRECTOR, VINAY PATIL ARCHITECTS, discusses emerging trends in tall buildings in India. Your opinion on the rising population of tall buildings in India. What factors are fuelling the rise of tall buildings population in India. Vinay Patil Architects is an integrated architectural design consulting firm. Since its inception in 2008, Vinay Patil Architects has developed into a sundry and one among the respected design consulting firms in Mumbai. In an exclusive interview to CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES, AR. VINAY PATIL, DIRECTOR, VINAY PATIL ARCHITECTS, discusses emerging trends in tall buildings in India.In terms of geography which regions will see major rise in tall building population.Metro cities will see Major High rise buildings mostly for commercial / office buildings. Also technology and building techtonics plays an important role in this development. Do you think the fall building trend is going to be widespread in India. What is Its level of acceptance among urban residents across the country. Large Metro’s who deal with day to day affairs of travel thru elevators/travellators will definitely have an open mind set for fall buildings. Smaller towns and cities will have a much lesser acceptance to the tall building trend. Challenges faced in complying with tall building construction laws. Are India’s existing laws of real estate construction adequate for tall building construction. Tall bulidings have many challenges. The Fire Norms are very different in India than that of abroad. In western countries the fire staircase is pressurized and does not need natural light and ventilation, When as in India a fire stair needs natural light and ventiallation this causing hindrance in planning.Forces of nature which react with buildings. Its gravitational forces at the lower end of the building but there is wind load and wind pressure which acts at buildings at high altitudes. This study and research is missing.The last but not the least is the seismic force which is the most important also has to be addressed with high rise design. Earthquake resistant design is also important for any high rise. Your views on tall buildings’ design as a complete self sufficient unit including residential/commercial and retail mixed use design for its residents. Environment is the need of the hour. We have to design buildings. which are energy efficient, self sustainable buildings. All building’s designed today need to be certified as green buildings by IGBC In India, LEED in USA etc. This ensures saving of natural resources, energy and sustainable architecture, Cohesive living is evolving. A self sufficient unit is a sustainable unit. Tall buildings projects executed/under execution by your company. My firm has designed and Executed 30 storey building in Prabhadevi. It’s a luxury residential building. Completion will be October 2019.Another project is 21 storey 3 residential towers in Vikroli East Mumbai which will house low cost housing units. Launch of project is Sept. 2019 Major challenges faced in executing tall building projects and the most challenging project executed by your company. The challenging part is the technology part to construct a high rise and time taken to complete a project. Earlier conventional frame structure was used as a construction technique, today to save time MiVan technology is used that saves a lot of time to complete a project.ect. Earlier conventional frame structure was used as a construction technique, today to save time MiVan technology is used that saves a lot of time to complete a project.Also buliding envelopes and window fixing methods are very primitive, lots of leakages etc are caused due to inefficiency of vendors.Good elevators are a must and I am glad to have installed state of the art elevators which work very well for vertical travel.Façade maintenance for fall buildings have to be planned for. Tall building construction technology used in your projects. I have used MiVan Technology which works very well for iCC structures in India and I have used that currently in my projects. I have also used Steel structures while designing in USA. Steel is much faster to execute as a material but needs skilled labour. Cost of steel construction in India is still high that is why composite structure works well in India, The By-Laws need to be updated to today’s requirement and needs. Construction Techniques also need to be evaluated for high rise buildings. There are different Smart building systems featured in your projects. Smart Building systems Used in my projects are as follows: Sewage Treatment Plant-it helps re-cycle water back into the building. Saves water usage. Motion Sensors: All the typical floor lobby have been provided with motion sensors this helps save electricity on every floor. Light get on only when someone enters the typical lobby of every floor and automatically shuts with no motion. Water Saving Plumbing Fittings: There are plumbing fittings like flushing tanks which use less water per flush. This indirectly reduces usage of water. Rain Water Harvesting: Charging pits are planning around buildings which help store rain water. Garbage: Wet Garbage is treated and the manure is used for plants etc within the complex. Automation System: Automation systern is used in projects which can be controlled thru cell phones. Biometric Locks were proposed into Private elevators which open directly into each floor. Vertical Landscape – Have proposed vertical Landscape in the high rise. Future trends in tall building space in India The façade of a building is seen differently today. An architect like me would suggest a intelligent façade which also breathes fresh oxygen into the atmosphere. Building needs to have Low Energy emmissions. We need intelligent buildings today in all sectors of construction in India. Related News & Blogs Arista, Mumbai – A
