Project idea

Ecosphere, a gated community breaks all barriers of design and conventional ideologies.It is designed in view of gthe need of the decade...sustainability powered by functionality,aesthetics and luxury.
It has been primarily designed for the emerging corporate society and higher income group in the Smart City of Bhubaneshwar.The city is experiencing rapid urbanisation and growth in population over the past decade.Hence a compact and sustainable housing community further accelerates the standard of living.

Project description

The design incorporates the idea of integrating nature as a part of society.The vast expansive form is developed as a monolithic, single and independent structure which provides for close interaction with nature.
The form is inspired by the human eye which closely depicts the shape of a leaf,thus representing Ecosphere __a community where nature meets the eye.

Technical information

There are 5 blocks which appear to be integrated.The expansive form is supported by expansion joints in between each block.
The prototype plan of the block has been included.There are 2bhk, 3 bhk and 4bhk units alligned along the curvature of the block.
The clubhouse and recreational amenities are located centrally to give seamless accessibility to inhabitants.
The use of green roofs and green pavements add to the sustainability factor of the design.
