Egg-shaped building coming up in Mumbai

Cybertecture egg office brings together iconic architecture, design, intelligent control systems, and evolutionary engineering to create the most innovative building in Mumbais Bandra Kurla Complex.

The concept for the Cybertecture Egg was inspired by looking at the world in terms of the planet being a self-sustaining vessel with an ecosystem that allows life to exist, grow and evolve.

The building serves as a beacon and nucleus for the immediate central business district area known as Bandra Kurla Complex.

Like our planet Earth, the building has a sustainable ecosystem derived from Cybertecture thinking to give the buildings inhabitants both a dynamic physical world and access to virtual spaces of the connected world.

The structure of the Cybertecture Egg uses a diagrid exo-skeleton, which creates a rigid structural system allowing for large column-free floor plates and high space flexibility.

The ingenuity of this form effectively reduces approximately 15% of construction material use compared to a conventional orthogonal building.

Green areas of the building will provide sun shading, oxygen replenishment, refuge areas for people as well as cooling for building and wetland filter beds for water recycling.

Photovoltaic cells are integrated into the faade facing the sun to help provide an alternative electricity source.

This iconic building has 3 levels of basement providing 400 car parking spaces.

The buildings glazing will have variable fritting and tones based on sun orientation, as well as variable shading and tinting.

The recycling of potable water is done through a combination of rain water harvesting systems, sewerage treatment and filtration, and wetland cell systems.

These effectively recycle up to 20% of the water supply consumption of the building.

Related to the water recycling system, the underground cooling system embedded deep underground in a reservoir provide naturally chilled water for the buildings air conditioning.

Intelligence building management system will reduce energy use in the less utilized or less occupied locations.
