INTRODUCTION
Mixed-use High Rise Habitat is—in a broad sense—any urban,
suburban development, or even a single building, that blends a
combination of residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or
industrial uses, where those functions are physically and
functionally integrated, and that provides pedestrian connections.
NEED OF PROJECT
Since the 1990s, mixed-use zoning has once again become desirable as
the benefits are recognized. These benefits include
• greater housing variety and density
• reduced distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and
other destinations
• more compact development
• stronger neighborhood character
• pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environments
Mumbai currently faces Space shortage issue and various social issues
one of which is travelling from one end to another. A resilient mixed-used
complex is an attempt to Address these issues.
OBJECTIVE: TO study Mixed-use Habitat in context to Mumbai OBJECTIVE: To understand programmatic planning of urban space at
community level or mixed –use habitat at international level

2. The design of the building makes it environmentally friendly, using
technologies such as floor-to-ceiling insulated glazing to contain
heat and maximize natural light, and an automatic daylight dimming
system. The tower also features a greywater system, which
captures rainwater for reuse. Kohinoor group pvt ltd. States that the
building is made largely of recycled and recyclable materials. Air
entering the building is filtered, as is common, but the air exhausted
is cleaned as well. The Kohinoor square building is one of the first
skyscraper building in india to achieve a leadership in energy and
environmental design platinum rating for environmental
sustainability a gold (leed) certification from green building council.
Construction of the Kohinoor square started in early 2009, with an
completion date of march 2013.
The combined pile raft foundation (cprf) is a geotechnical
composite Construction that combines the bearing effect of
both foundation elements raft and Piles by taking into
account interactions between the foundation elements and
the
Subsoil the piled raft foundation system has recently been
widely used for many structures, especially high rise
buildings. In this foundation, the piles play an important role
in settlement and differential settlement reduction, and thus
can lead to economical design without compromising the
safety of the structure. In several design cases, the piles are
allowed to yield under the design load. Although the load
capacity of the pile is exceeded, the piled raft foundation can
hold additional loads with controllable settlement. Thus,
accurately determining the settlement of the foundation is
critical and for this the designers must consider the role of
the raft and the role of piles in combination, as well as the
interactions between the foundation’s components.

CONCEPTOFTHEARCHITECT
The T
ower is one of the masterpieces of Indian
architect, Charleas Correa. Kanchanjunga Apartments
isa 28 story height high end residential building built
in Bombay, 1983. It was clear that the architect has
reference to Lecorbusier’s crossover units in Unit
habitation in Marseilles in 1952. Correa planned
the 3 and 4 bedroom units interlocking with 5 and
6 bedroom units. 3-4 bedroom units occupies on
and half level, and 5-6 bedroom units occupies two
and half levels. There are small level displacement
within the units to differenciate outdoor terrace and
indoor living space, dining room and bedrooms and
so on. These change of levels hide the living and bed
rooms from the heat of sun and rains, while the big
opening of balcony could get as much day light as
possible. The whole building structure is built by
reinforced concrete. The open terrace part is a 6m
deep cantilever structure. Central core with lifts and
shafts and building services so it also provide central
stability element for lateral loads.
The appearance of the building has strong
resemblance of modern western building design.
Especially the white plain surface with concrete
construction. But the apartment design is an
interperation of traditional Indian bungalow with
verandah which is a main part of living area of indian
family.
The tower is 21m square on plan, and 1:4 proportion
on elevation,84m height. It has aplain facadesurface,
with cut away to open up double height balcony.
EXTRATEXTEXPLANATION
The tower design reinterperated the traditional
living style of indian with modern architecture.
And it is succesfully merged with environmential
consideration, and social needs in this tower. Correa’s
strong design signiture of sectional displacement
where appropriate by changes in floor surface is
most elaborated in this project. The complexity of
internal spacial organization to create level changes
and interlocking four types of units waspushed to an
extreme in thisproject..
The building is oriented in east-
west direction to catch the natural
wind from the sea and also this
direction has best view from city
to the sea. But this face is also most
heat up surface by the sun. The old
bungalows solved this problem by
warpping a thick layer of around
living area verandas to protect
from heay monsoon rain and sun
heat. Kanchanjuna Apartment is
applying this concept into the
apartment design.

STRUCTURE
Whole structure is
made of reinforced
concrete. The
building is a 32
storied rein-forced
concrete structure
With 6.3 m
cantilevered open
terraces. The
central core houses
lifts and other
services also
provides the main
structural element
for resisting lateral
loads. The central
core was
constructed ahead
of the main
structure by slip
method of
construction. This
technique was used
for the first time in
India for a multi-
storied building.
MATERIALS&COLOURS
With its concrete
construction and large
areas of white panels,
bears a strong
resemblance to modern
apartment buildings in the
west. However, the garden
terraces of Kanchanjunga
apartments are actually a
modern interpretation of a
feature of the traditional
Indian bungalows the
verandah. In a bungalow,
the verandah wraps the
main living area. According
to the architect there are
some elements to combine
the whole city as form axis
of color. The color expert
says that “the quality of
sunlight, climate and
culture influence color
choices : hence one would
observe a preference for
blue and its shades in the
west while in India and
other Asian countries one
finds a predominance of
reds and yellows
Great deal of transparency has been achieved by
the use of large opening and terrace gardens on
every floor. Because of American training, Correa
has rarely been tempted to import Western ideas
into India. Like most architects of his generation he
has been influenced by Le Corbusier, but by his
response to the Mediterranean sun with his “Great
sculptural decisions (the over-hangs, the double-
heights), placed facing the elements”.

Linked Hybrid projects a renewed thinking about the public space within
large scale high rise projects. Holl shows us in this project how his ideal
vertical city should work. It ishisideal city within acity.
The horizontal traditional urban structure, continuous plinth with services,
iscombined with the vertical city, disrupted plinth.
Living is combined with commercial program in various towers. The
commercial program is located in the plinth and living above. An ‘urban’
ring of commercial and cultural public activities link the towers on the
twentieth floor. This skyhigh public space provides a cinematc experience
of the whole complex and the city surrounding it. A big variation of
urban functions are located in this ring, for example: a swimmingpool, a
fitness centre, a nail and hair studio, an architecture office, galeries, bars,
theesaloons and stores(more info on page 3).
T
o prevent the city within a city to become an isolated island, Holl
introduces the term urban porosity. He connects his ideal city with it’s
context by attracting people to the centre of linked hybrid. Urban space is
enclosed in the heart of the project. On street level pedestrians are able to
move in and out the project.
These two themes, ‘city within a city’ and ‘urban porosity’ are also the basis
for Holl’s second big housing project in China, the sliced urban porosity
block.

CONCEPTOFTHEARCHITECT
The unusual tower shape is an idea of the architect C.Y
. Lee from
T
aipei. He was inspired by local culture, the building reflects the
culture in which it functions. Lee was looking for balance between
local culture and internationalism. The tall building symbolizes
a broader understanding and anticipation of things to come:
we “climb” in order to “see further”. The building rises from the
ground like a bamboo, a symbol of everlasting strength in Chinese
culture. In the section, the shape of a pagoda is recognizable.
T
aipe 101 T
ower rises in 8 modules, a design based on the Chinese
lucky number “8”. In cultures that observe a seven-day week the
number eight symbolizes a renewal of time (7+1). In cultures
where seven is the lucky number, 8 represent 1 better than ‘lucky
seven’. Each modue has 8 floors and flares wider t the top. There
are 101 floorsabove the ground and 5 floorsunderground.
It’s more challenging to design and build a super-tal building
in T
aipei than any other location in the world because typhoon
winds, large potential earthquakes and weak soil conditions all
need to be overcome. A damping system was implemented to
reduce the excessive lateral accelerations from wind.
In the time it was build, the height of the T
aipei 101 was
recordbreaking, previously held by the Petronas T
owers with
452 meters. It was the highest building in the world, build in an
area with typhoons and earthquakes! The height of 101 floors
commemorates the renewal of time: the new century that arrived
as the tower was built (100+1) and all the new years that follow
(January 1 = 1-01). It symbolizes high ideals by going one better
on 100, a traditional number of perfection.

building has to be oriented east-west
to catch prevailing sea breezes and to
open up the best views of the city.
Hence the Site is designed in such a
way that the enclouser of the two tower
trap maximum winds from the west to
east
The Retail outlet of Taipei 101 are
located toward the south where as the
Main entrance to the skyscraper is in
the shades toward the North-east side.
The Linked Hybrid is mainly based on
User oriented planning as well as
climatic.
It was clear that the architect has
reference to Lecorbusier’scrossover
unitsin Unit habitation in Marseilles in
1952. C
orrea planned the 3 and 4
bedroom units interlocking with 5 and 6
bedroom units. 3-4 bedroom units
occupieson and half level, and 5-6
bedroom units occupies two and half
levels. There are small level displacement
within the unitsto differenciate outdoor
terrace and indoor living space, dining
room and bedroomsand so on.These
changeof levelshidetheliving and bed
rooms from theheat of sun and rains,
while thebig opening of balcony could
get as much day light aspossible.
Plan form
basically evolved
from the cross
ventilation
process through
the west to east
travelling winds
of Mumbai
Where balconies
also gave an
artistic
impression to the
towers "open city within a city". The
project promotes interactive
relations and encourages
encounters in the public
spaces that vary from
commercial, residential, and
educational to recreational.
The entire complex is a three-
dimensional urban space in
which buildings on the ground,
under the ground and over the
ground are fused together.
The tower has served as an icon of modern.
Taiwan ever since its openingThe building
was architecturally created as a symbol of the
evolution of technology and Asian tradition.
Its postmodernist approach to style incorporates
traditional design elements and gives them
modern treatments.

• A High-Rise Structure comes out
of necessity. Specially in a
booming economical center with
growing population.
• Most populous cities have most
numbers of High rise structures
• It is seen that tallest high rise
structures are found in the heart
of the city.
• Or a new economic center of any
city
• To Understand the type of soil of
any site is important to develop a
conceptual level structure
proposal for any high-rise
structure.
• If a high rise structure is oriented
studying is climatic conditions its
can greatly increase the natural
ventilation and light thus
reducing the load on HVAC
system and lighting system .
Thus making it energy efficient.
• Success of Vernacular approach
or passive sustainable
technology could be easily
enhanced by proper orientation
• The user and types of user and
there circulation through a 3d
urban structure is a very
important aspect for orientation
of a MIXED-USE HIGH RISE
HABITAT.
• It important to design a building
which is relevant to the urban
fabric of the city it proudly soars
the sky of.
• A resilient mixed use cluster
development can be an attempt
to solve any high density urban
space issues

Green method
Mechanical
Plan form basically evolved from the
cross ventilation process through the
west to east travelling winds of
Mumbai
Where balconies also gave an
artistic impression to the towers
Natural Method
Linked Hybrid’s ground source heat pump
system shoulders 70% of the complex’s yearly
heating and cooling load. The system consists
of 655 geothermal wells, 100 meters below the
basement foundation. The underground wells
have taken the place of above-ground space
normally needed for cooling towers,
increasing available green areas, minimizing
noise pollution and significantly reducing the
CO2 emissions
created by
traditional
heating/cooling
methods.
In Mumbai, a building has to be oriented east-
west to catch prevailing sea breezes and to
open up the best views of the city.
Unfortunately, these are also the directions of
the hot sun and the heavy monsoon rains. The
old bungalows solved these problems by
wrapping a protective layer of verandas around
the main living areas, thus providing the
occupants with two lines of defence against
the elements.
Natural Method
• An approach where different
zones are infused in an
interlinked context of its urban
fabric.
• FSI consideration is an Important
consideration for any high rise
proposal
• Limiting the user to private
spaces and allowing free roam in
its public spaces both spaces
segregated by different levels
can be effective to create a
mixed use environment
VERTICAL ZONING
• High rise structure can be zoned
vertically and the connectivity is
an important factor between any
two zones
• Service floors, lifts, shafts and
staircases are the most important
factor governing the daily
functionality of any high rise
• 200 meter tall Kohinoor square has a well
designed HVAC system for its ventilation
purposes. As it’s a glass enveloped
structure the load of mechanical
ventilation is also high.
• The cooling towers are situated near
water tanks at some levels in the buildings
• Natural method of light and
ventilation solves these problems
at a residential level
• But at commercial level there is a
need for mechanical ventilation
as there is a continues
requirement of larger floor space
to work collaboratively together.
• A green approach like in linked
hybrid is a very innovative
approach to tackle this
increasing load on the
mechanical system.
