Construction of MVRDV's Future Towers India is Underway

— March 22, 2011 — Art & Design
Dutch architecture firm MVRDV has begun construction on Future Towers India, a modern apartment complex for the city of Pune, India. Future Towers India is an ambitious building set to house 1,068 apartments, a school, a swimming pool, a movie theater, and several eateries and bars.

The design of Future Towers India is angled to create natural gardens and balconies for the higher-end apartments. The building itself will have a concrete facade with the interior featuring metal shutters and wooden balconies. The towers are one piece of a much larger puzzle that hopes to see 3,500 apartments along with other public attractions like parks and gardens eventually built in the area. The towers themselves are due to be completed in 2014.
Trend Themes
1. Angled Building Designs - Opportunity for architects to design modern and sustainable apartment complexes with angled structures that incorporate natural gardens and balconies.
2. Vertical Community Living - Potential for developers to build expansive modern apartment complexes that aim to provide comfortable city living complete with a school, a swimming pool, a gym, and several eateries and bars.
3. Concrete Facade with Metal Shutters and Wooden Balconies - Innovative opportunity for sustainable structures that incorporate natural elements, including wood balconies and metal shutters for more sustainable living in large communities.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate Development - Given the increased demand for modern and comfortable city living, there is an opportunity for real estate developers to build community-oriented, modern apartments that cater to the growing urban population.
2. Architecture and Design - A chance for architects to design functional, sustainable, and modern apartment complexes utilizing angled structures and natural gardens that offer a comfortable community-oriented city living experience.
3. Construction - A great opportunity for construction companies to take on large-scale projects like the Future Towers India to build expansive, sustainable, and modern living spaces that cater to the needs of the growing urban population.
