Navin’s, one of Chennai’s most trusted real estate developers, has been awarded the prestigious 17th CIDC Vishwakarma Award 2026 for Navin’s Hanging Gardens at Arcot Road, Valasaravakkam. Presented by the Construction Industry Development Council under the category of Best Construction Projects, the recognition celebrates the project’s excellence in innovation, design, and sustainability. The award was received by Mr. Chandrasekar P.N., General Manager, Technical, Navin’s.
Navin’s Hanging Gardens draws inspiration from the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, reimagined for a contemporary urban context. The project blends heritage with modern design to create a living environment that moves well beyond traditional housing.
The award acknowledges the project’s bold structural concepts and unconventional layouts, bringing together vertical green spaces, expansive terraces, and lifestyle-driven planning. A collaborative design process, where multiple architects contributed diverse perspectives, gives the development a layered architectural identity in which each space reflects its own character within a unified vision.
The planning process was iterative and detail-driven, continuously refined to deliver differentiated living spaces rather than cookie-cutter configurations. Sustainability was central to the vision. The project is IGBC certified with a high rating, aligning with green building principles that prioritise natural light, ventilation, water conservation, and efficient material use.
Speaking on the achievement, Mr. Kalyanaraman, Chief Operating Officer, Navin’s, said, “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.”
