Kalpataru Avana

Parel, Mumbai | 50-Storey Residential Tower

Avana is a high-end residential development in Parel, Mumbai, conceived with a sophisticated façade language and demanding standards of architectural quality.

BES Consultants was appointed by the developer for end-to-end façade engineering services, from concept development through site completion. The façade is predominantly aluminium-clad and incorporates extensive architectural sunshades with complex geometries, requiring detailed engineering and close integration between architectural intent, façade systems and construction methodology.

BES subsequently extended its role to façade site engineering and project management, providing senior technical leadership throughout construction. The team worked closely with the project stakeholders and façade contractor to resolve complex site conditions, maintain design intent and drive quality through execution.

BES’s integrated design-to-site approach contributed to the successful delivery of the façade with a strong focus on technical quality, coordination and programme performance.
