Sustainable Design Practices

• The landscape concept and design detailing attempts
and fairly achieves a sustainable, close to nature built
and open environment.
• The landscape structure is completely of natural and
sustainable elements like semi-pervious meandering
pathways, eco-ponds, water channels, planting with
local trees, plants and grasses.
• The materials used in the landscape proposal are
entirely natural and pervious to suite the theme and the
spirit.
• Hard paving is largely reduced to minimum level just
enough for pedestrians & battery cars.
• Water consumption for landscape irrigation has been
kept to a minimum through shaded gardens and local
native species by using drip irrigation.
• Storm water management of the entire site has been
dealt with as per the natural gradient by means of open
channels and grass swales along the pathways.
