Kohinoor Square, one of India’s tallest completed commercial buildings, dominates the Mumbai skyline. Zeus—the head of the gods in Greek mythology who reigns from Mount Olympus—comes to life on the top floors.
Famous skyscrapers from throughout the world are honoured and displayed in the hallways of the Zeus floors. These vast structures are not just works of art that take inspiration from many different natural sources, but they also continue to inspire their inhabitants. Kohinoor Square is where one may see this ambition to be an inspiration.
The magnificent, very instagrammable rooms that make up the Zeus lobby will astound you the instant you enter.
Even more striking is the luxurious lobby design, which has a strikingly unusual blue and gold reception table.
Overall, the work of Sandeep Shikre and Associates stands out for its environmental sensitivity and the necessity to reinvent the lexicon of what architecture entails.
