SATYAM TOWER, MUMBAI

A new tower on the Western Express Way in Mumbai that will house a flagship retail store, 4 cinemas, office space and restaurant together with adjoining residential tower.

Due to the complex mix of uses careful consideration was needed for the organising of programme within the building. Stacking the retail cinema and office to the front of the site with the best visual access from the street has the benefit of protecting the residential tower to the rear.

The commercial tower is made up of a linear core at the rear with stacked boxes to the front with facade treatment that reflects their uses. The ground, first and second floors house retail space which will be occupied by a single tenant. Above this the four cinema screens are located. These screens impact the whole structure of the tower as allowance for column transfers and cantilevers are very limited in Mumbai building regulations. Above the cinema sit 6 floors of office space and the tower is crowned by the roof terrace with a café area.
