Planning of high-rise complexes could be integrated with the naturally well-lit spaces and the required privacy in each condo could be introspected with the help of thoughtful outline of the plan-form. It makes sense to place the common spaces towards the north-light. With the advent of new construction technologies like exceptionally high-quality precast concrete walls and PEB structures can save time, contingency and reduce carbon footprint.

Assimilation of doors and windows in uPVC and DGU reflective glass or double-glazing units manifest excellent heat and sound insulation coefficient. Common materials like texture coating could be a distinctive quest to completely amaze the anatomy of the facade. uPVC is one of the most preferred window framing material across the world. The material comes in a range of colours, is low maintenance and offers unmatched benefits.

Fibre cement plank cladding is a unique composite of natural fibers bonded tightly in a high-grade silicate siding that acquires impressive toughness yet remains flexible and dimensionally stable. It can translate monotony into eye-catching aesthetics with the help of a paint palette. Also, fibre cement stone cladding adds style and elegance to residential buildings while giving you value for money by being less expensive than stone and shielding buildings from solar heat.
Design is the alchemy of the prevailing forces of culture, climate and construction; it is an integrated vision of functional, cultural, constructional, environmental, economic as well as aesthetic values

High-pressure laminate (HPL) is a highly creative board that can be integrated through CNC -cut or water-jet cut technology to form a focal attraction of the building elevation with an interesting play of light and shadow or false-ceilings of terraces.

Stone wall cladding is incredibly durable for an exterior application. It’s more resistant to breaking and chipping than many other walling materials such as concrete cladding and can withstand harsh weather conditions. It also requires very little maintenance and offers protection against rain and pollution. It acts as a very good heat insulating layer which reduces the carbon footprint of the building, and acts as a neutral layer preventing any heat loss or heat gain in the building. This increases energy efficiency. It could be transformed into beautiful jaali with the advent of new technology.

Metal louvers could be evolved into a creative screen to the running plumbing services and outdoor units inside the service ducts and add the aesthetic statement to the buildings

Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) ledge on the top periphery of the building could protect the building facade from rain and dust and add the visual horizon to the observer. A condominium could be bestowed with a terrace garden along with a jogging track, health club, a swimming pool with deck and gazebos for outdoor seating and indoor/outdoor sports activities. Terraces could be developed with a solar-lit ambiance to ensure prolonged entertainment and comfort of the users. Vertical gardens garnish the private terraces and balconies and promote fresh air and solar insulation value (SIV).
