This old school architecture is the Sugat Niwas, Chabildas Road & Akshikar Marg Junction Dadar West,Mumbai.

Have a look at the hexagonal slotted pattern of the window here and the wavy design on the rounded balconies.

The zig zag horizontal band pattern to the either side of the balcony at the top continues throughout the span of the architecture.

The building is in a dire need of restoration and maintenance work.

Very limited information is available about the mansion on the internet

The design patterns on the right face are a replica of the left hand side, i do hope they restore the mansion soon.

It is located near the tilak bridge of dadar.

This is the (Part-2) Sunshine Heights, P.L. Kale Guruji Marg and Gyan Mandir road, Dadar West, Mumbai.

We continue from the previous part, have a look at the cramped streets below and the cover of trees around the building.

The angular curvature of the parking base area is wonderful as well, the building looks quite sleek from this end though.

I do feel there needs to be ample space on the road adjoining high rises which is overlooked here.

The building looks normal from the far left end, i accidentally stumbled upon this architecture while walking on the street here.

The final frame shows the curved design of the building from the far right end on the other side of the road.

Beautiful modern architecture indeed!

This residential highrise is the Sunshine Heights, P.L. Kale Guruji Marg and Gyan Mandir road, Dadar West, Mumbai.(Part-1)

Have a look at the curved and wavy design of the building, the design looks truly aesthetic and eye-catching.

On a closer look one can notice that these are actually the borders engulfing the entire architecture in form of horizontal bands which are curved and rounded seamlessly to perfection.

Check the slotted pattern of the curved borders from the front end, one can see the tiles fitted on its curved surface, check the blue tiles on the parking base area.

According to online information it consists of 14 residential floors offering premium 2 & 3 BHK apartments.

This is the (Part-2) Shree Laxmi Niwas, Shradhanand Road & Mahila Ashram Marg junction, Matunga East, Mumbai.

We continue from the previous part, have a look at the motif patterns at the entrance of the building with the name clearly stated here.

Have a look at the motifs on the top turret as well, the extruded balconies and the borders are a replica of the back side shown in the previous part.

This side of the mansion faces the Mahila Ashram Marg, and it forms a "V" shaped pattern along the corner plot it is located on.

The tree with the pink blossomed flowers truly adds to the aura and charm of the mansion.

The grill patterns and the pillars are clearly visible from this end and so is the stone walled base.

Beautiful old school architecture indeed!

This residential tower is "The Pavilion", road no 8, near Bhaudaji road, Brhmanwada, Matunga East, Mumbai.

Have a look at the intricate grill work on the entrance gate and the balconies.

The curved balconies along with the borders and grill patterns on the windows are a wonderful amalgamation of modern and contemporary architecture.

The thick window borders highlight the structure.

According to online information it consists of 7 floors offering 3 BHK apartments.

Additional information about the tower is stated in the link as follows:-

The only issue here is the cramped plot on which the building is built, it is essential to pay heed to the space between two plots of a building that invades the basic access to the top floors during emergencies.

The side section of the building is almost hidden from the public eye.

I do hope the builders and the authorities involved pay heed to this in the future projects.

This is the (Part-2) Balaji Garden Towers A & B, M Madhavam Marg , Road 5, Brhmanwada, Matunga East, Mumbai.

We continue from the previous part, the side view of the tower A shows the sleek design and the open balconies.

The link to the previous part is attached in this video.

The vertical grill pattern on the tower B is a replica of the side section shown in the previous part.

The only thing which was odd is the size of the streets which feels narrow due to the presence of huge skyrises in close proximity, the vehicles parked on both sides of the road were a negative as well as it could lead to traffic jams during emergencies.

A far end look of the towers clearly shows the top section of the tower with slanted roofs and pointed spires.

One can also see the back end of Indian Gymkhana and the playground just opposite the towers

Wonderful modern architecture indeed!
