Lodha Altamount is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Lodha Altamount rather than just read about it. In short: Lodha Altamount is a postmodern luxury residential skyscraper located in the billionaires row of Mumbai, India. Designed by Hadi Teherani, it has an all-glass black façade.

Key takeaways

Lodha Altamount belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Lodha Altamount to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Lodha Altamount from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Lodha Altamount is a postmodern luxury residential skyscraper located in the billionaires row of Mumbai, India. Designed by Hadi Teherani, it has an all-glass black façade. The building has 43 floors and is 195 metres (640 feet) tall. It is the 68th tallest building in India.

History The three-story Washington House, home to US Consul General, was previously built on the site, covering an area of 2,702 square meters. It was in Coastal Regulation Zone 2 and was listed as a Grade 3 Property. In 2012, Lodha Group acquired the land from the US consulate for ₹341.8 crore, surpassing the bids made by Mahindra Lifespaces and TATA Housing. In 2015, a 10,000-square-foot apartment at the building was sold for over ₹1.6 billion at ₹160,000 per square foot, which, according to The Times of India, is the highest price per square foot ever paid in India at that time. This also beat the record for the previous sale in the same building at ₹141,543 per square foot. In September 2016, The Indian Express reported that the Urban Development department of Government of Maharashtra has granted more rights for Lodha Group to build the building's 38th floor, after a dispute between the developer and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on floor space index (FSI) incentive in the Public Parking Lot scheme, which the developer chose in 2012.

Location The development is built on the former location of Washington House, a property of US Consulate General for which the acquisition was announced in 2012 for a sum of ₹341.82 crore. The development is located at SK Barodawalla Marg, popularly known by its former name, Altamount Road. It's right in front of Mukesh Ambani's Antilia (building).

Architecture Lodha Altamount has 43 floors, including 8 floors of podium, and 52 residential units. The apartment's amenities are located on the 8th floor, which comprises a gymnasium, spa, outdoor infinity pool, movie lounge, and a boardroom. The entrance lobby of Lodha Altamount features La Plage, Juan-les-Pins, an artwork by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso.

Design The building was designed by Hamburg-based architect Hadi Teherani. It has a black, all-glass façade, which, according to Lodha Group, was designed to provide privacy for the residents without obstructing the outside view and to maintain moderate climate conditions within.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lodha Altamount

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lodha Altamount claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lodha Altamount before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lodha Altamount ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lodha Altamount

In research: Lodha Altamount appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lodha Altamount in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lodha Altamount is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2017 establishments in India, Buildings and structures completed in 2017, Postmodern architecture in India, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lodha Altamount outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
