KHARUN APARTMENTS
10 storied apartments, with 2,3,4BHK units with around 300 apartments sprawled across 27760 sq m. The visual axis of the buildings is set perpendicular to the abutting road creating the illusion of opening and closing of slits, revealing different facade from different view points. Site plan allows wind to flow through the site. Concept of alternate balcony, providing optimum light and ventilation, also creates an interesting facade. The building has been kept true to its structural elements externally.
