To own an independent bungalow on an independent plot in urban areas is a dream of every person.

In Hanging Gardens people though stay in an apartment, can have all the facilities like an independent bungalow. It is designed with 6 floors with one apartment on every floor having area of 1800 sq. ft and huge terrace accommodating a well designed garden and a plunge pool in it. Each apartment consists of living dinning, kitchen, 3 bedrooms with attached toilets and store and utility etc to support today’s urban life style.


Living dinning kitchen has been designed as one space without any partition which visually enhances the space. The terrace is also the extension of living and dining spaces and a bedroom. Thus making all the primary spaces of the apartment getting openings to the terrace with plunge pool and to the garden.

Floor Plans and Elevation

Today because of the building bylaws, the balconies have vanished from the apartment. So one can’t enjoy balcony in a regular apartment. Hence bedrooms have been designed with 3 sides open with glazed doors and a railing which gives feel of the balcony when kept open.

The building façade is a composite of well juxtapose masses of shera cladding and rough texture plaster giving a high tech look for the building. The columns supporting the terraces, cladded with aluminum composite panels continue to the pergolas on the top terrace resembling it like strings holding the terraces. Intricate detailing was done to provide drainage for the terrace’s garden which is filled with soil to ensure leakage free soffits.

The building is designed to suit tropical climate and is energy efficient. The south walls have been blocked and large openings on the north have been given to admit sufficient light in all areas. Ample cross ventilation in all the rooms reduces the use of air condition in harsh summer. LED lights have been used throughout. Wooden like Vitrified tiles are used in rooms and on the plunge pool deck.
