Amidst the incessant hustle at the World Trade Center in Pune, lies a haven of peace and productivity, that is the Vanderlande office. A step out of the lift lobby and onto their floor leads one into a rugged, industrial atmosphere that reflects the logistical, technological core of the company. A sweeping, curvilinear glass wall embellished with their logo provides a glimpse into a lab display area that exhibits a conveyor belt testing machine. This space stands out instantly to highlight Vanderlande’s products and their indomitable brand values.
MVRDV has completed its first project in India, Future Towers. Located in Pune, India’s 8th largest city and one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, Future Towers provides 1,068 apartments for a diverse section of the rapidly expanding population, a true vertical village that will house around 5,000 people in one building.
Future Towers is a part of Amanora Park Town, a community created in 2007 thanks to legislation passed in 2005 by the state of Maharashtra to encourage the development of residential “townships” near its cities. In Pune, these townships help to house the young professionals attracted to the city by its auto-manufacturing and technology sectors but, as with much of the rapid development all over India, many of the new buildings on Pune’s outskirts are generic, repetitive residential towers. In just 11 years, Amanora Park Town has grown to over 25,000 residents by focusing on a diverse, high-quality mixture of towers alongside low-density villas. But the pressure to expand faster with more high-density, low-individuality housing was ever-present.

Like any other client the brief and requirements were significant. Hence on a plot of 373.90 sq.m, we decided to go G +2.This lovely abode consists of 5 bedroom, kitchen, lobby, dinning, walkout into the garden from the dining and living and a courtyard. The exterior design is a geometric interplay of simple lines with sidings on wall and grey reflective glass used as part of the façade. The glass used on the second floor is UV proof that protects the interiors against radiation.
