The Opulence

Ground to Skye asked for an apartment building on a city plot of 3,226 sq ft in New Alipore that would give its residents privacy without closing them in.

The building rises to ground and four floors, 49 ft, with 7,901 sq ft of homes over parking. Vertical fins, wood-toned pilasters and layered balconies set the rhythm of the façade and screen the flats from the street. Integrated planters bring green onto each level, and a double-height terrace with a chequered floor gives the residents an outdoor room. A cantilevered stair, photographed during construction, carries the same clarity inside.

The building is complete. The developer has since engaged the studio across several of its projects.
