INTRODUCTION
MIXED USE COMMERCIAL – HIGH RISE
As the population density is being increased in all the cities, High rise buildings
provide solution to urban problems and the development must done in a way that
will rise rather than spreading by utilizing the land vertically, we can gain more open
areas for the recreation and other purposes, can establish a transit-oriented zone
( tod ) by providing the amenities for the recreational purpose under the same area
and all in a walkable distance
Number of floors is a poor indicator of defining a high rise building due to the
changing floor to floor height between differing buildings and functions (e.g., office
versus residential usage), a building of 14 or more stories or more than 50 meters
(165 feet) in height – could typically be used as a threshold for a “high rise building.”
AIM
To design a High rise / Sky scrapper - Mixed Use Development of convention center,
residences, retail space, and a luxury hotel, etc.
OBJECTIVES:
 Understanding the regulation and requirement of mixed use development.
 To analyze social, ecological, architectural aspects of high rise building.
 To design space which enhance the physical and visual interaction and reduce
isolation.
 To bring transparency, openness and fluidity of space.
SCOPE :
 When development happens vertically, it minimizes the physical footprint, while
accommodating a greater a number of peoples as when compared to horizontal
expansion.
 In this way tall buildings leave far more space for public spaces, agricultural land
as well as virgin forests.
 Thus, commercial and residential high-rises leave precious grounds free for
greenery which supports life and social vibrancy.

 Since the past 4-5 years, cities has been witnessing an upsurge in demand for
skyscrapers.
 Reduce distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and other
amenities and destinations.
METHODOLOGY :
•Literature study
•live case study
•Site analysis
•Concept and design development
•Schematic drawing,master plan and detailed drawings.
•Final Presentation and 3d model.
BENEFITS:
 Reduced distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and other

amenities and destinations.
 More compact development
 Stronger neighborhood character, sense of place
CONSIDERATIONS FOR DESIGN:
 Form & Facades – (Since Sky Scrapers becomes the identity of the place)
 Planning should so efficient in all the floors, fit in the form of building and fulfill
all the requirement of spaces with the standards.
 Separate access for the private, semi private and public spaces.
 Standard road widths and parking lots for whole peoples in the building.
 Priority and accessibility to the use of space should be considered.
 Core and the service points of the building was very important.
 The building foundation (sub-structure) and its ability to withstand the structure
has to be analyzed and studied well.
CASE STUDY:
1. LITERATURE STUDY: Burj Khalifa, Dubai.

A mixed use development which has office, retail, hotels and residential
spaces.

The Burj Khalifa was revealed to be 828m (2,716ft) high, with a total built-up
area of about 6 million sq. ft.
It is the tallest building in the world with 163 floors.
It includes 30,000 homes, nine hotels, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at
least 19 residential skyscrapers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre)
artificial Burj Khalifa Lake.
CASE STUDY :
1. UB City, Bangalore, India
 It is built on 13 acres (53,000 m2) of land and hosts 1,000,000 sq ft (93,000 m2) of high-end
commercial, retail and service apartment space.

 UB City consists of multifamily property houses commercial offices, banks, high-end retail
stores, Prestige Oakwood serviced apartments, curated fine-dining restaurants, spa / health
clubs, cafes to hang out at, amphitheatre with food courts and landscaped gardens, art gallery,
multi level parking, helipad on roof top, etc.
2. Kohinoor Square, Mumbai.

 Kohinoor square is a 52-story 203-metre (666 ft) semi-twin, mixed-use skyscraper located in
Mumbai, India.
 It is the tallest mixed use building in India.
 It is one of the first skyscrapers in India to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) gold rating for environmental sustainability.
 The Kohinoor Square complex comprises a main skyscraper and a residential skyscraper which
are for mixed use such as Houses, hotels, residences and a high-end shopping malls
SITE: CHENNAI
Unlike other metros pan-India, Chennai for a long period of time had been experiencing
horizontal residential growth.
This rise was the aftermath of the 2nd Master Plan of the Chennai Metropolitan
Development Authority rolled out in 2008.
Until this time, 60 metres was the maximum height permitted in the city by the
authorities.
-- 5

But the master plan in 2008 lifted height restrictions due to which many high-rise buildings
started sprawling up, especially in the southern outlying areas of the city.
Bayview tower of Hiranandani remains the tallest building in Chennai with a maximum
height of 140 metres and 40 floors.
Pinnacle Crest was the tallest building in Sholinganallur with maximum height of 104
metres and 30 floors.
Sky scrapper is nothing but the vertical utilization of spaces, which is high rise building
with minimum 150metre height with 40 floors it can be residential, commercial, hotels,
gaming and mixed use.
But, as per Chennai market, any building having 10 or above floors is considered a
skyscraper in Chennai.
