Tropical Garden- Residential Apartment I

 

Electronic City, Bengaluru

​​

​

Tropical gardens is a premium apartment complex with an area of 2.5 acres

​

Given the name of the apartments we have tried to incorporate a tropical theme into the landscape hence the whole plant selection is made from a tropical theme plant palette which includes plants with broad leaves and other dense plants akin to tropical forests.

​

Tropical forests are known for their rich flora and water bodies like streams and rivers and so we have tried to incorporate a water body, a swimming pool with a weir edge fountain in this case by placing it at the center of the residential blocks.

​

As one enters the premises they are greeted by sculptures. There is a waiting sit-out area next to the entrance portal. The driveway runs all around the apartment perimeter allowing access to the various landscape features.

​

The driveway/jogging track pattern is created such that they act as guidelines to both the people driving and the pedestrians using it.

A paved alley that connects the driveway to the apartments leads to the podium where one can find steps accompanied by a weir edge fountain on either side.

​

These steps lead up to the swimming pool where we have included a pool deck with seating. A sheet fountain compliments the swimming pool and the weir edge fountain.

​

Moving past the swimming pool area one steps down to the kid's play area with board games embedded in the floor.

​

The perimeter of the apartment is surrounded by activity areas for the residents such as a meditation/yoga deck, and seat walls that act as pause points.

​

Parking space is also provided along the perimeter of the driveway with a dense vegetation buffer which helps in sound dampening, the perimeter of trees running all around the site also contributes to sound dampening and acts as a natural barrier to create a sense of separation from the outside world.
