    Literature Study: Crosswinds Appartments

    Uploaded by

    The document summarizes an apartment complex called Crosswinds Apartments located in Hyderabad, India. The design aims to integrate the buildings with the natural landscape by allowing views of open spaces and valleys from all levels. The buildings are placed as vertical extensions of the landscape rather than insertions, and the natural contours were not altered. The site plan oriented the apartment blocks to offer nice views while negotiating the dramatic slope. The apartments were planned with central cores for interaction spaces and bedrooms on either side, connected by large balconies overlooking the city. The structural design had to blend with the unique site and was made an aesthetic aspect of the building. The complex consists of 18 apartments spread across 3 blocks of 4 floors each.

     The design intends to establish a strong dialogue with the dynamic
    landscape by allowing views of the open spaces and the valley from all
    the levels of the built form.


    The buildings are seen as vertical
    extrusions of the landscape rather than
    mere insertions.
    The natural contours have not been altered and the architectural
    design of the apartment blocks and the parking levels negotiate the
    contours to create dramatic spatial scenarios at various areas of the
    site.


    The site plan was informed by the natural markers and the orientation of the
    blocks in order to offer nice views.


    The dramatic slope of the site was the biggest challenge to respond to in
    terms of sectional placement of facilities such as parking, recreation and
    the first level of the apartments.
    The planning of the apartments was worked in such a manner that the central
    core was linear and was for interaction i.e.living, family and dining and the
    bedrooms were aligned on either side of this core.The linear core is attached with


    a large balcony that overlooks the city.
    The Structural design had to be quite exciting in order to blend with
    the unique nature of the site.


    We therefore set out to make the Structure also an aesthetic aspect of the
    building rather than seeing it just as a support system.
    The overall configuration consists of 18 apartments measuring 390 sq m
    to 420 sq m each and spread across 3 blocks consisting of four floors
    each.
