• Around 10%-20% of the plot is green, featuring a Garden / Lawn that provides a natural touch to the outer edge of the property.
• The open area covers 45%-60% of the plot, where the Praangan and Paved Area offer open-air settings for residents to walk and gather.
• With 25%-35% of the plot built up, the buildings are spaced to give homes plenty of breathing space and natural light.

• Covered Parking and Car Parking options help residents park their vehicles safely on the ground and podium levels.

• The Society Office/Business Centre provides a dedicated space for administrative tasks and resident meetings.
• A Health Club gives residents a dedicated space to focus on physical fitness without leaving home.
• A Play Area and Senior Citizen Sitout offer dedicated spaces where children can play and elders can relax together.

• Are the residential blocks well spaced? The main residential block stands on the eastern side of the plot, facing away from the western shops.
• Which way do the homes face? Most homes face north or south, aligned with the bottom-left pointing north arrow on the plan.
• How is the building block positioned? The central residential structure occupies the eastern half, leaving the western side open for low-rise commercial structures.

• Can residents reach the social spaces quickly? Elevators connect the upper floors directly to the podium level where social spaces are concentrated.
• Is the walking distance short? Residents in the eastern block can walk to any leisure spot in less than a minute.
• How easy is it to access the shops? A short walk westward from the residential elevators leads directly to the retail zone.

• Is road noise a problem for residents? Homes are positioned on the eastern side, far from the western boundary road to reduce street noise.
• Do neighbors look directly into each other's homes? The main residential block has no facing wings, which protects your privacy from neighboring windows.
• Are the lower floors quiet? Elevated residential units start above the commercial shops, keeping living spaces private from ground-level shoppers.

• Do the homes get enough fresh air? The 45%-60% open area allows wind to flow freely from the north-pointing corner across the entire property.
• Are the views blocked by other buildings? The low-rise western shops ensure that west-facing apartments enjoy clear views of the sky.
• Is there enough natural light? Wide gaps between the residential block and the property boundaries let sunlight stream in throughout the day.

• Can you walk safely without worrying about cars? Pedestrians move safely on the elevated podium level, completely separated from the driving tracks below.
• How do residents walk to the shops? A dedicated staircase connects the upper residential deck to the ground-level retail pathway facing west.
• Is the walking path continuous? Footpaths run along the eastern and southern edges, allowing continuous walks around the residential block.

• Is the play zone safe from traffic? The main play zone sits on the elevated podium, so children can run around without encountering cars.
• Can older residents walk without climbing stairs? Ramps and elevators connect the ground level to the podium, making it easy for older residents to move around.
• Are there quiet spots for elders? Shaded seating areas are placed in the southern corner, offering a quiet space away from active play zones.

• Where is the main green space located? A continuous strip of trees and plants runs along the eastern and southern boundaries of the plot.
• Is there green space near the entrance? Planted borders frame the northern entry point, creating a natural buffer from the main road.
• How is the landscape distributed? Small patches of grass and potted shrubs are arranged around the central residential block to soften the concrete.

• Where do cars enter the property? Vehicles enter through the northern gate and follow a one-way driving track around the residential block.
• Is there enough space for driving? The 20%-35% roads and parking allocation ensures that driveways are wide enough for two SUVs to pass easily.
• How do delivery vehicles access the shops? Service vehicles park in a dedicated bay near the western shops, keeping the residential driveway clear.

• Why is this a great place to live? The low 25%-35% built-up ratio ensures that you never feel crowded by neighboring buildings.
• Is it a good long-term investment? The smart separation of commercial and residential zones protects your home value while offering daily ease.
• What is the best feature of this property? The north-facing orientation of the main block maximizes natural breeze, keeping your home cool and airy.

Living here means you can handle your daily errands and enjoy outdoor relaxation without ever leaving the property. Families with young children and elderly members benefit most because the elevated podium separates active play and relaxation areas from the ground-level vehicle zones. This project stands out because it successfully integrates ground-floor retail shops with private residential spaces, giving you retail and home life in one place.
