Living in a “vertical bungalow”

1 / 2 Keeping cool up top: one of the apartments′ double-height balconies that scoop breezes from the Indian Ocean.

2 / 2 Kanchanjunga's distinctive sculptural form, seems to underline how Charles Correa believes in architecture as an art.
Kanchanjunga is an 84-metre-high condominium of 32 luxury apartments in Mumbai, which is now over 30 years old: yet it is still radical. For Charles Correa designed it to take advantage of the traditional techniques for passive cooling from bungalows and applied these principles to a high-rise building. Its distinctive form is still unique.
uncube has a whole issue dedicated to the work of this great architect: Issue no. 11: Charles Correa
