Navin’s Hanging Gardens Wins 17th CIDC Vishwakarma Award for Design and Sustainability
New Delhi, April 16, 2026: Chennai-based developer Navin’s has received the 17th CIDC Vishwakarma Award 2026 for its residential project, Navin’s Hanging Gardens. The award, given by the Construction Industry Development Council in the “Best Construction Projects” category, recognizes the development in Valasaravakkam for its specific focus on design, structural innovation, and environmental standards. The honor was accepted by the company’s General Manager of Technical, Chandrasekar P.N, the company said in a press release.
The project, located on Arcot Road, was designed to modernize the concept of vertical gardens within a city setting. Rather than following a standard high-rise template, the building uses unconventional layouts and tiered terraces to incorporate greenery into the structure. The design process involved multiple architects working together to create varied living spaces that avoid the repetitive configurations often found in large apartment complexes.
Environmental impact was a primary consideration during the planning and construction phases. Navin’s Hanging Gardens has earned a high rating from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), meeting specific criteria for natural ventilation, sunlight, and water conservation. The developers noted that the planning stage was highly iterative, focusing on efficient material use and long-term sustainability.
Kalyanaraman, Chief Operating Officer of Navin’s, noted that the award serves as a benchmark for the company’s future work.
“We are honoured to receive the 17th CIDC Vishwakarma Award. This recognition reinforces our commitment to pushing boundaries in residential design while staying focused on sustainability and customer needs. It serves as a reference point for our future projects and underscores Navin’s continued dedication to creating distinctive residential experiences,” he said.
