Carmichael Residences addresses an increasing demand for high-rise living in Carmichael Road, a neighborhood known for its bungalows and gardens. SOM’s design creates a tranquil refuge that elegantly befits its surroundings with a western red cedar facade and plantings visible across its floors. Greenery, which cascades down the 21-story building’s overhangs, provides shade and composes the building's silhouette.
Airflow and customization are essential for comfort in Mumbai’s tropical climate. Carmichael Residences follows the Vastu tradition of architecture, which emphasizes symmetry and a connection to nature. All units are arranged in an open plan, with flexibility to be combined into larger spaces. The tower is clad in high-performance, fully operable glazing, with deep overhangs—known as chhajjas in India—that shield units from the sun and rain. Sliding wooden screens open each unit’s terrace to views and breezes, and provide protection and privacy when closed. The passive design approach effortlessly cools all 28 units through cross ventilation, reducing dependence on air conditioning.
While Carmichael Residences overlooks the Tardeo treetops from units spread across the upper portion of the tower, its podium houses a suite of amenities that brings verdure inside. A driveway ascends toward an elevated and private lobby clad in curved glass. Gardens surround the lobby to create a serene escape from the city, with scented flowers, running water, lush plantings, and finishes made of locally sourced granite and western red cedar. The landscape continues up the building to the parking levels, which are shrouded in plantings that drape down the chhajjas. All onsite vegetation is irrigated by captured stormwater—an essential component of the project’s Indian Green Building Council Green Homes certification target.
Above the lobby and parking, an amenity floor accommodates a gym, garden, multifunctional space, and outdoor yoga terrace, while a pool and garden share the rooftop with photovoltaic arrays.
