The entrance leads to an open walkway, sitting area and mail area beneath the open-air public floor of the building.

Working within the restraints of the sometimes-severe Mumbai weather and around the city's great architectural varieties, architectural firm Khanna Schultz constructed a 27,000-square-foot-plus, seven-unit modern apartment building. The perforated aluminum cladding surrounds the lower-level public area, which contains the pools and gym for the tenants. Khanna and Schultz played with the idea of using stainless steel, but found that aluminum had the appropriate strength for the building's needs. "With the lights glowing from inside, it turns the whole building into a big lantern at night," says Schultz.
