Kanchanjunga Apartments

The Kanchanjunga Apartments were built by Charles Correa in 1983. The structure is located in Mumbai, which is a large city in terms of population and has a diverse culture. I think this apartment building has a unique look to it that blends several styles of architecture. Besides the aesthetics of the building, there was environmental reasoning for constructing the way it was. There are subtle shifts that help defend against the extreme weather patterns that occur in the region. I think this building shows a modernized version on some traditional Indian features.
