The Lakeside residence is a 60 stories luxury apartment
complex in the middle of Kolkata’s new residential district. The building form
was designed by a team lead by Dr. Chafia Ferhat as a response to the site
constraints and to the need to maximize the efficiency of the build-up area. A
modern building form that is sensitive to the local climate and the
peculiarities of residential interior planning for Indian families. The twin
towers are linked by a bridge that acts as a main structural element but also
an architectural feature that is replicated in other details in the building.
The building has been equipped with many features that will help minimise its
carbon foot print. Water harvesting, re-use of grey water, double glazing,
photovoltaic panels on the façade and roof, M&E building management systems
are some of the features incorporated in the design of the building.
