The
Centaurus
The Project
The Centaurus, designed by Cityspace’82 Architects and executed by Mixx Windows, exemplifies architectural excellence by seamlessly blending luxury with minimalism.
Located in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi, this residential project spans a 520 sq. yd. plot within a densely populated urban environment. The design addresses spatial constraints while achieving an opulent living experience, making it a worthy contender for the XXIII International Metra Building Competition.
Architectural Choices
The architectural choices for The Centaurus were driven by the need to balance aesthetic sophistication with functional utility. Key design elements include staggered vertical wooden panels on feature walls and bespoke lighting fixtures that enhance the ambience. The use of Metra Building Systems products-NC 50 I, NC 65 HES, NC-S 120 STH SLIM, NC-S 150 HES, and NC-S 120 STH-ensures superior performance in terms of energy efficiency, acoustic insulation, and sustainability. These systems contribute to the project’s innovative envelope design, fostering thermal comfort and reducing environmental impact.
Context Integration
Situated in a bustling neighbourhood, The Centaurus harmonises with its surroundings while standing out as a modern architectural marvel. Its design respects the urban fabric by optimising space utilisation and integrating seamlessly with the environment. The residence incorporates green terraces and open spaces that mitigate the dense urban setting’s impact, creating a tranquil retreat amidst city life.
Innovation and Originality
The Centaurus showcases originality through its meticulous spatial planning and material usage. The integration of Metra aluminium systems reflects cutting-edge technology in façade engineering. These systems provide sleek aesthetics while meeting stringent sustainability standards. Additionally, the residence’s minimalist approach redefines luxury by prioritising functionality without compromising elegance.
