Bangalore: Real estate major Brigade Group has launched Tower Burgundy at Brigade Exotica, a pre-certified, GOLD rated Green Building by IGBC Green Homes, located on Old Madras Road.
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Green Homes is the first rating program developed in India, exclusively for the residential sector. Spread across 10 acres of green landscape, Brigade Exotica is one of the very few luxury residential highrises in India to go green. At a time when very little open space is provided in any real estate development, Brigade Exotica offers 80% open space for its residents. Only 20% of the area has been used for construction.
“At the ground level is a miniforest, with ample trees, shrubs and water bodies. Besides creating a sustainable habitat for innumerable species of flora and fauna, the green zones elevate oxygen levels in the immediate eco-system,” apprises Mr. Viswa Prathap Desu, VP – Sales & Marketing, Brigade Group.
What’s in it for a homeowner: The development has efficient floor plans which provide copious sunlight and air, and will bring down dependence on electric lighting and air-conditioning. The hierarchy of spaces in a home at Brigade Exotica is such that each room seamlessly flows into the other, to create a sense of spaciousness. The large corner windows in the bedrooms let in natural light and offer a breathtaking view of the pristine landscape.
“A home that is a green building is a healthy home. The occupants receive more natural air and light, and therefore are more healthy. This goes back to our roots where each home in India was designed strategically with a central courtyard to allow more natural air and light to come in. Homes at Brigade Exotica will therefore reduce dependence on artificial sources of light and air,” explains Mr. Manjunath Prasad, COO, Brigade Group.
Besides these exclusive green features, the development is designed as a zero discharge project. There will be a sewage treatment plant which will take care of all the watering requirements for the gardens and landscaped zones by providing recycled water.
