The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.
The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
Designed for the warm climate of Hyderabad, the concept for this tower relies on its orientation and building assembly to reduce heat gain and maintain a cooler interior. The north and south façades are characterized by a series of outdoor balconies on each floor, giving each residence three private terraces. While letting in daylight, the projections prevent excessive glare and solar heat gain on the southern face. The east and west façades have a very different treatment, being mostly solid cavity walls which perform well in reducing early-morning and late-afternoon heat gain.
The building provides cross-ventilation through the use of a central open courtyard as well as improved daylighting. Solar hot-water collectors on the roof provide the building with a means to reduce energy for domestic hot water, and rainwater harvesting is used to capture terrace rainwater. The tower has received a Gold certification from the LEED India program.
