Use of space
We have adopted tropical greens concept apart from the rest of iconic architectural and landmark components.
This is achieved by allotting total podium including the stilt area at entry level to a grand and sensual landscape experience. Entire podium is treated as vehicular free zone containing lush landscaped tropical forest theme treatment. Reading deck, senior citizen corner, hogging/walking track loop on the edge, experiential gardens with themes, active play courts, children play areas senior citizen courts amphitheatre, etc., activity areas have been curated on the podium level.Entire stilt is kept open and integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Size: 2.26 Acres
Built-up Area in Sq.Ft: 1.12 Million
Building Configuration: 3Basements+2Stilts+3Club house floors+50 Floors residential apartments 49 and 50th floors are duplex flats.
47th floor has an infinity pool and party deck. Number of Units: 135
3 levels of club house is integrated in one single tower. This project highlights the concept of villas in the sky with private garden spaces. Each living unit is designed as a large format individual villa that suits the wishes and aspirations of present and future lifestyle.
- Architecture and Flat design.
Landscape at podium level is an integrated plan of rectilinear geometry coupled with curvilinear matrix. Vehicles are allowed up to the main entrance and rest of sides are reserved as no vehicular zone. This zone contains all outdoor activity areas both passive and active, provides spaces for individual, small groups in all times of the day. A dedicated path/jogging track/ bicycle loop links up all these activities in sequence creating exiting
experiences. One singular tower has 3 large format flats in each floor. While the general 3-bedroom flats are around 1600 sft to 2200 sft in the vicinity, in Poulomi Palazzo the flats area range from 6225 sft. to 8100 sft. all being 4 or 5-bedroom flats. Semi public and private spaces of the home are well segregated for privacy and comfort, while the transitions happen through well designed lobby spaces and common use spaces.
3 flats with 3.5 sides open and having at least one window on two sides, open possibilities of high ventilation and light.
Large format flats are designed to be Vaastu compliant as per the socio-cultural context. Well ventilated spaces are crafted to suit the ever-changing lifestyle interiors. Total 10 number of lifts, segregated as owners lift, visitors’ and service lifts add to the convenience and luxury and individual privacy. Each main entrance is approached through a spacious transition lobby that enhances the quality of personalisation.
Two lifts for each flat directly open into this exclusive lobby space. Each flat has a maid room outside the flat with a privacy provision. 49th and 50th floors are made into duplex with 2000 sft of private garden space.
Flats are designed to have 600 sft of garden space, with the location of it staggered from north to south at each level. Private gardens of flats are marked by the “jail” work, which are derived from the traditional Indian architecture to filter light and provide privacy.
Building texture and color and jali work are inspired by the ancient Indian architecture of the Rajasthan climatic region. Beige and sandstone hues complement the mood and setting.
Each flat has exclusive 2 lifts, private lobby space and detached maids living space. 47th floor has a common infinity swimming pool. This luxurious project is climate and context conscious, and intended to suit the target group, while creating a landmark in the fast developing metropolis of Hyderabad.
Every flat is treated as an individual villa, positioned along a connecting corridor, and skilfully segregated to eliminate sharing walls, following the “Vaastu” principles. At the same time, maximum length of exposed walls of the flats has been treated to have maximum cross ventilation and light. Connected balconies, deep outdoor decks are designed responding to the climatic setting, which also double up as functional spaces and maintenance components spaces, while providing for the connect with outdoors.
- Key areas of the design:
80% landscaped ground, which is designed as vehicular free zone, podium landscape, 3 level club house on top of entry level with 50 floors pf hight with the Entire stilt is landscaped both outside and underneath the stilt area, integrating the spaces into a harmonious continuum.
Climate responsive design.
Luxury highlighted in space and form, without ignoring wellbeing, social living, lifestyle, ventilation, and light.
6 car parks to cater to the growing tendency of personalised transport which is post covid phenomena. Garage like provisions in parking to take care of the safety of the luxurious cars of the residents.
Ample scope of privacy between flats and towers. Flexibility of interior spaces that suit the multi religious setting, changing generational aspirations of interior styles. Physically challenged access to all interior and outdoor activity areas.
v)Innovation in Design
In the challenging urban pressure of building more in less, the following innovative measures have
been taken in the project:
- Innovation 1 – Skilful balance of connect with nature and enjoying larger built spaces through large landscaped spaces at individual level.
- Innovation 2 – Intricately crafted large format apartments with ample lighting & ventilation without compromise on privacy, satisfying the socio-cultural demands.
- Innovation 3 – A 3-level premium clubhouse integrated with the single tower, with unique and segregated activity zoning at each level.
- Innovation 4 – An infinity Sky Pool at the 47th level.
- Innovation 5 – Flats designed as villas in the sky without any common walls.
iv)The project has been designed with sustainability as a key ingredient and is currently targeting IGBC Platinum rating under Green Homes V 3.0.
vi)In addition to the several sustainable measures prescribed by IGBC, materials and construction techniques are being applied as well:
- Optimization in Structural Design – Structural Design has been optimized to save at least 5-10% of steel and concrete when compared to regular conventional construction methodologies.
- Certified Green Products – Construction Materials and products are ensured to be certified either by IGBC or IGBC recognized 3rd party agency as sustainable in content as well as manufacturing.
- Local materials – All major construction materials are being procured locally, within 400km from the site.
- Eco-Friendly Wood Based Materials – Instead of virgin wood, engineered wood is proposed to be used in the project. Wherever natural wood is required, it is being ensured that it is certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
- Alternative Construction Materials – Instead on using natural stone to achieve the proposed look and feel, majority of the locations are being clad with GRC/ GRP panels mimicking the finish of the proposed stone.
- Handling of Construction Waste – Construction Waste like steel, Concrete, Tile, stone etc. is being neatly segregated and stored on site and is being disposed off through certified scrap
merchants in order to avoid unwanted landfills.
- Organic Waste Treatment Post Occupancy – An organic Waste Converter is proposed in the premises to treat and convert the organic waste generated into manure for the landscaping on site.
- Prevention of Soil Erosion – Water is sprinkled on site on a daily basis to avoid soil erosion.
- Site barricading and Wheel Washers – All construction vehicles entering and exiting the site are made to drive through wheel washers and the Site is fully barricaded to avoid spillage of construction debris outside the site.
vii)The following measures shall be incorporated for renewable energy:
- Solar PV Cells are installed on the terrace to cater to share the common area lighting load.
- Lifts/ Elevators with regenerative braking are proposed with battery storage to share the common area lighting load.
- Landscape lighting bollards with integrated solar cells to reduce electricity consumption.
