The firm recently won two awards — Skyhive Skyscraper Challenge in Dubai and the Silver A Design Award in Italy — for its skyscraper design titled Aero Hive. Besides the team of four from Midori, another Chennai-based firm and a Delhi-based firm also lent a hand. The design is all about putting the immediate environment to good use, explains Acharya, “Aero Hive is a breathing entity. The breath of this building transpires through vertical diaphragms in the form of green sky atriums that behave as lungs, performing the intake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. For example, sustainable design features can significantly increase the value of a property.
