Creating city icons

The striking Chambers building in Andheri's bustling Chakala area is a product of 13-years of planning and execution by Mumbai-based architects, Pentaspace.

Once an old building with retail establishments, and then a storehouse for construction materials for the Mumbai metro project, Chambers is now an iconic commercial premises that has matured with its context.

THE METRO CHALLENGE

The project was first conceived in 2008, at a time when conversations around the Mumbai metro were taking shape, and Pentaspace was taking root as a young and independent design studio. The building form today embodies the story behind the evolution and the ambitious goals of the firm.

Chambers was completed in 2022, even as the design unfolded through the challenges of the metro construction along the adjoining road, modifications in municipal and construction rules, as well as a tight site and height restrictions.
