An\u00a0apartment\u00a0with a balcony? For urban dwellers in the world’s greatest and most dense cities,\u00a0 this sounds like a description of a dream home. The best we can come up with is arranging a few plants in a window, or throwing the little IKEA outdoor furniture<\/a> in a small outdoor corner.<\/p>\n

I’d like you to imagine, look closely and guess what? Yes! You have a personal swimming pool in your balcony, in densely populated Mumbai! That’s exactly what Arhitect James Law proposes here. Parinee Ism is a 140 m (460 ft) tall residential tower, inspired by the\u00a0 24th and last letter of the Greek Alphabet, Omega, or Ohm\u00a0(\u03a9). If built, it will include over 200 apartments with 3 levels of car parking, sauna, sports facilities & swimming pools built into the bedroom balconies of some apartments. \u00a0An egg shaped structure in between the two towers is actually a fully\u00a0equipped clubhouse for the inhabitants…Any real estate investors here?<\/p>\n

The design concept of the tower is inspired by the ripple effect generated by water droplets, which is also known as a capillary wave. The image of the ripple emphasizes fluidity, and dynamic nature of a ripple. Both the outline and surface ripple pattern can be conceived as an abstract representation of the Ohm symbol. The ripple effect usually generates a vortex-like space in the center. The tower design captures the essence of this space by creating a large void in the middle along with a specially designed drop-shaped clubhouse.<\/p>\n
