DRA Astra Madhavaram, Chennai

• DRA Astra is a residential development featuring building blocks surrounded by extensive surface parking and internal driveways. The central area is dedicated to a variety of recreational and social amenities, with significant green buffers along the property boundaries.

• Around 30%-40% of the plot is green, anchored by the Junior Green Zone and Senior Green Zone, providing residents with dedicated natural spaces.
• The open area covers 45%-60% of the plot and the Party Terrace, Open Theatre and Kids Play Area fill the non-green stretches, giving residents places to gather, relax and play outdoors.
• Only 20%-30% of the plot has been built on, so most of what you see from your window is open space rather than other buildings and homes here get more air and light than in a tightly packed complex.
• Solar Panels are integrated into the project, which can help reduce electricity costs for residents over time.

• The Inner Ring Road and Jawaharlal Nehru Road are close by, offering convenient travel for daily commutes and errands. Internal access includes car wash facilities, security, lifts, staircases, and surface parking.

• The Clubhouse includes a Multipurpose Hall, this amenity and Entrance Lobby, covering social gatherings and community events all under one roof.
• A Basketball Court, Gym and Indoor Games let residents handle sport, fitness and recreation without stepping outside the community.
• These amenities mean children and older residents have dedicated outdoor spaces built into the layout for relaxation and play.

• The northern building block stretches east to west, providing many units with north or south exposures.
• An L-shaped building block occupies the southeast portion of the property, opening towards the central amenity zone.
• The two main building structures are set apart, creating a large central area for community activities.
• Buildings are positioned to allow for extensive above-ground parking surrounding their perimeters.

• All residents can reach the central community areas without crossing major driveways.
• The property's layout places shared facilities centrally, making them reachable from all homes.

• Homes facing MADAVARAM HIGH ROAD are buffered by a wide strip of parking and trees.
• The southern edge of the property, bordering ASSOCIATION LANE ROAD, features a similar buffer of parking.
• Interior-facing units benefit from quieter surroundings, away from the main road activity.
• The design places buildings away from the immediate road edge, reducing direct road noise.

• A substantial gap between the two building blocks allows for good light penetration into homes.
• The long northern building block offers open views towards the central activity zone or exterior.
• The L-shaped building creates an open courtyard effect, enhancing light and air for its units.
• The spacing between structures ensures homes receive ample natural light and air circulation.
