  • The blocks are oriented to block east and west sun. The courtyards, windows and ventilators aid passive cooling, cross ventilation, and natural lighting, creating a comfortable micro-climate for each home reducing the operational energy cost.
  • A robust composite structural system, with the majority of construction material sourced locally in the form of clay bricks, lowers the embodied carbon.
  • Modular construction systems limit construction wastage.
  • Site as part of SEZ with good proximity to factories reduces work transportation. The campus enjoys high-quality pedestrian and bike links to local amenities, leading to sustainable connectivity.
  • 55% of the site is left in open regenerative condition with tree plantation to counter CO2 rise, this enhanced ecology leads to sustainable land use.
