About World One
World One is the first of three signature residential towers that form the core of Mumbais Lodha Place, a 17-acre development master
planned in 2009. The project brief called for a design that would not only epitomize the highest international standards in luxury living, but
symbolize the emergence of Mumbai as a key world city. This meant, among other things, establishing an iconic skyline presence
characterized by unprecedented height. Until recently, high-rise residential buildings in the city topped out at around 50 stories. Planning a
tower twice that height involved the reinvention of the typical inside-out design process and the reconsideration of a wide variety of
structural and planning approaches, including safety and sustainability.
The towers unique cloverleaf plan and three-tier elevation is a decisive response to the singular challenge of creating a supertall residential
tower on a compact site. The buildings special shape affords each residence with a corner living and dining room, featuring a wraparound
terrace and unobstructed views of the city. Self-shading, cross ventilation, high-performance insulating glass, and a wide array of efficient
mechanical and electrical systems contribute to the buildings anticipated LEED-Gold certification.
The buildings rigorously gridded faade is detailed in such a way that achieves a visual unity befitting its size and iconic stature from afar,
while respecting the scale and clues of inhabitation up close. Fully embracing the idea that a tall building should contribute as much to the
life of the city at ground level as it does on the skyline, World Ones base gives way to a generously proportioned circular entry court along
a gently arced boulevard that links the tower to the city, bringing urban energy into the experience of the building.
