The Namaste Tower which is due to open in Mumbai in 2015 will be a landmark building standing tall at 984 feet and 62 floors. It will be housing the famous W hotel, offices & retail spaces. The design is based on the 'Namaste' yoga/greeting gesture, where in the two wings of the building will look like clasped hands... to greet.
What is more interesting is the skin of the building will have the traditional 'mehndi' design! It looks very nice in the computer generated images, hope to see it in real. Atkins who have their hands on projects like Burj Al Arab, The Address, Dubai Metro etc. are responsible for this too.
