An upside down club in NCR
Club House At Indirapuram Borrows From US

New Delhi: The NCR will soon boast of an upside down building. Looking at the building from outside, one could be forgiven for thinking the world has suddenly been inverted. The architectural marvel will be built by Meriton group at its up-market housing project, Orange County, in Indirapuram.
Director of Meriton Group, Avnish Agrawal, got the idea of constructing such a building when he went to the United States of America on a tour. WonderWorks, a US-based real estate developer, already has two ‘inverted’ structures in Florida and Tennessee respectively. ‘‘These structures are amusement parks equipped with extreme experience zones like the disaster zone, the challenge zone, space, sound and light zones and laser tag zones, among others,’’ explained Agrawal.
Agrawal was so impressed with the building that he decided to build a similar structure for his project in India. He finally decided to use the concept to build a club house for a luxurious condominium project in Orange County, Indirapuram.
This, he said, will help in boosting the image of Indirapuram.‘‘At present, Indirapuram is looked at as a mere junior cousin to Noida, despite the fact that the former is better connected to Delhi. In Orange County, the group is selling apartments worth up to Rs 1.25 crore, fitted with modern gadgets like Jacuzzis and cubical showers. Over 80 per cent of the 700 apartments have already been sold,’’ said Agrawal.
After the construction of the clubhouse, which will be housed in the inverted structure, Agrawal declared, Indirapuram will emerge as a destination in itself—a part of the itinerary of the tourist coming to visit NCR.
"Located only a few kilometres away from the Commonwealth Games site, Meriton club will soon become a landmark in Delhi and NCR. The club building is the first of its kind in India,’’ Agrawal said. The club will be named ‘Caracalla Club,’ after the first club built by ancient Romans. The name will be inscribed in lower part of the ‘inverted’ building.
The club will be the third ‘inverted’ building in the world. To give the impression that it has fallen from heaven, inverted pillars and some part of its walls and roof will be given a broken look outside. The interior, however, will not only look right side up but will also be stronger than many other clubhouses, Agrawal said.
The exclusive country club for Orange County residents will provide top quality facilities. The club will be equipped with the latest recreational facilities, such as relaxing spas and saunas, a fully modernised gymn and a Jacuzzi. It will also have an elite bar as well as massage and yoga centres.
