kanakchura
Kanakchura is a 14 storied residential enclave in a quieter part of Gulshan Model Town. It takes its inspiration from the existing Copperpod Tree (Kanakchura) in the site that symbolises ornamentation and shade for the people seeking shelter.
STAYING ROOTED
Kanakchura boasts its simplistically elegant appearance while creating a comfortable abode for its occupants.
Being located in the calmer part of Gulshan Model Town, Kanakchura is in close proximity to Bangladesh Navy Headquarter. Furthermore, it is closely located to High Commission of Sri Lanka and Embassy of the Sultanate of Oman, making it a much secured location. For culinary retreat, one can find oneself to popular restaurants with a few minutes of walk such as Café Eden.

The ledges and protruding verandas in the north and south together create a composition of planes that act like a screen, ensuring the inhabitants with breathing spaces where they could enjoy the breeze, natural light and the pockets of greenery.
The tree Kanakchura is significant for ornamentation purposes in this region. Being inspired from this tree, the Kanakchura project incorporates an interaction between smooth surfaced concrete and exposed brick planes. The decoration in the brick cladding add to the aesthetics of this building.
