subject: Features Of Modern Realty Projects [print this page] India has seen a huge surge in the realty sector in the last one or two decades. The concepts of modern architecture and construction, with the world class standards, have been incorporated in the modern realty projects which promise modern lifestyles for its residents. So, let us have a look at what are the modern features of a modern day residence.
At first, there has been a thrust on the development of multiple storey apartments rather than single homes. This has been done to meet the demand of residence from the rapidly growing city population. Secondly, the modern projects are based on steel and concrete framing of the whole project as a single unit. This allows for building the high rise structures and give the required strength to withstand the earthquakes. This earthquake proof construction is a modern concept which has been incorporated due to rising concern for this calamity and the need to develop resilient methods of thwarting its impact.
Thirdly, the modern homes or flats are increasingly featuring a community based living concept. There are common areas or facilities provided within the perimeter of the housing projects which can be used by the members. One can commonly find parks or gardens, sporting facilities, swimming pools, clubs and a number of other common use amenities in societies like Shiv Sai Ozone Park which can be used by its residents. Though, community living is also present in independent homes, in societies this is more reinforced.
Fourthly, the modern homes have altogether different designs which are based on modern lifestyle concepts. Modular kitchen, modern bath, water harvesting systems and a number of other features such as furnishings and fittings add to its modernity.
The use of automation and advanced technology for providing security to the residents is another notable feature of the modern rooms. The more is the use of technology in maintenance and security enhancement of the project, the more modern a society is perceived to be.
Most of these features are quite common to all the projects which promise a modern lifestyle to its residents. Interior designing and the outdoor landscaping are the other two important aspects of this concept besides the architecture or construction-related features. The doing away of excessive privacy is another important element which is incorporated by developing residential units with lesser internal walls. The relative openness of kitchen and its connection with the dining and the living rooms is an example in this regard.
Environmental concerns and sustainability are the other aspects which have been associated with modern living and their impact is also seen in the construction of the modern housing projects. Terrace gardens, solar lighting provisions, water harvesting, plantations within and outside of the society are some of the features which reflect the concerns for environment and meeting these through innovations in construction and architectural designs.
