Initially, the architect experimented on various styles from Goan, Mediterranean, contemporary, Indian to neo-classical. In the end, they zeroed in on the neo-classical style due to its inherent advantages in the Indian context. It was simpler to adopt the neo classical architecture in the labour oriented method of construction and the decorative double wall system also created a better protection against harsh weather conditions.

Eternia and Florentine

The 17 and 18-storey towers have smaller flats that measure 97 sq m to 130 sq m. The towers have 2 wings with a common lobby area. As part of a residential development in the late 1980’s, the developer and the architect didn’t anticipate the emergence of cars and resultant parking spaces as an integral part of the programme. Therefore, originally the parking was just provided under the stilts of the towers, later in response to the growing need, a ground level parking area was exclusively dedicated to these towers. Even though the layout of both the towers is almost identical, on the exteriors, the roofs of the towers manifest as a dome and a pyramid giving them a distinctive appearance.
