The Location

All over the world, people still refer to Bangalore as the Garden City. Only denizens are privy to the changes. What were once blooming green lawns are now patches of mowed grass that thirst for fresh air. Wide, expansive roads that would generously take you everywhere in a jiffy, are clogged with snarling drivers exuding rage and grimy smoke. And the laid back lifestyle that let you have a long, leisurely breakfast, has morphed into a frenetic rush where breakfast is whatever’s fastest to eat. The Bangalore you knew and loved has changed. Irrevocably. But your desire for the Bangalorean way of life still remains.

A way of life you can now claim for your own...

Rediscover a new way of life in Bangalore.

Concept Development The majority of inhabited accommodation will be at or above the tree canopy level which characterises this ‘development in the sky’.

Tower Block Elevations Each tower is a 19 storey construction. The architecture is a direct function of the intended environmental performance of the building. Thus, the end elevations are perforate, richly planted and composed of more delicate structures and balcony/sky-garden elements. Balconies are recessed and window openings are carefully arranged according to the internal spaces which they serve. The roof is envisaged as a unifying element, covering the full extent of the building and being visibly connected to the projecting balconies at the east and west ends. The roof will also serve as a major rainwater collection device.

Towering with purpose The Gardens comprise of ten tower blocks, each boasting a unique and spectacular view of the development. Offering a calming refuge from the heat and dust of the city, this project is based on a unique structural design. The east-west oriented towers are of different heights and have the two wings

around an atrium space. This innovation ensures that excessive solar gain is avoided, keeping apartments cool. It also ensures that winds are directed all around the estate, promoting air circulation. Each apartment’s internal environment is shaded, cool & comfortable - without air conditioning. Each tower is endowed with charming sky gardens at every 6 , 12 , and 18 floor.

All towers are also interconnected by bridges - so when you want to visit a neighbour, you don't have to go all the way down, but simply walk across the linking bridge to where you want to be. The combined benefits of having ten huge towers also include the provision of an ample covered car parking area.

Come to The Gardens...return to Bangalore Possessing a landscape that defines its very nature, The Gardens is slated to be one of Bangalore’s most unique developments. With a design that respects and enhances the natural landscape, The Gardens is now a place for life, activity and relaxation - a time portal into the Bangalore of old...a place where people rediscover the joy of living life today, at yesterday’s pace. >>
