Lykli Noida — Design International
An aerial rendering precedent for large-scale mixed-use developments featuring curving twin towers above a sprawling, multi-tiered landscaped retail podium.
- What we like about this project
- Lushly planted stepped terraces span directly across the roof of the multi-level retail podium between the towers.

- Geometry
- Twin towers curve symmetrically inward, creating a central void above a stepped, multi-level landscaped podium resting on a sprawling retail base.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with vertical fins on the towers over a complex curved storefront and panelized podium facade.
- Structural guess
- Steel and concrete composite frames with core shear walls for high-rise towers.
- Spatial scale
- Massive multi-block commercial development; twin towers rise many stories above a sprawling multi-story podium.
- Lighting
- Bright daytime sunlight casting sharp shadows from towers onto the sweeping podium roofs and surrounding streets.
- Atmosphere
- Busy, active urban hub blending high-density commercial architecture with extensive green podium landscaping.
- Environmental context
- Urban intersection with multi-lane roads, roundabout, surrounding low-rise fabric, and nearby rail lines.
- Spatial experience
- A grand multi-level arrival sequence merges vehicular drop-offs, pedestrian bridges, and sunken courtyards leading up into the sweeping stepped terraces.
- Composition rhythm
- Sweeping horizontal curves of the podium terraces contrast against the soaring vertical fins of the twin towers.
