This uber-luxe residential development brings the flavour of a villa in a high-rise format. Totalling 1.3 million sq ft, the project encompasses a  20-storey tower, already a landmark, comprising duplexes and triplexes, veritable villas in the sky, with large decks, lush with gardens and trees. The design vocabulary marries the crispness of contemporary design with understated elegance. Occasional forays into the maximalist realm create spatial pauses of wonderment as well as visual anchors for the narrative. The grand main lobby herald this design approach, creating a definite sense of arrival. This reception space then branches into smaller ancillary lobbies.

The individual villas enjoy lofty double-height living rooms that frame expansive views of the city. These segue into sprawling decks, similarly lofty, energised with trees and plants — so much so that the tower, when viewed from a distance, appears like a verdant vertical forest. The triplexes on the top floors particularly epitomise the USP of this development. These are magnificent living spaces with private elevators, rooftop swimming pools, lounge bars and terrace gardens. The master plan features areas for wellness, hospitality  and work on the ground floor, including a well-equipped gym, a kids’ club, a business centre, a restaurant/cafe, a banquet hall, a garden with walking and jogging tracks and a children’s pool. Upping the ante in luxury living, SkyVille promises to be a game-changer in the premium real estate sector.
