520			_aIn a new era in architecture, where people’s comfort and environment is the most important criterion, the project is designed with just the same intention– “a sustainable building friendly to people and environment.” A detailed study about probable location for the project was carried out before the location was finalized. The proposed land was not a farmland, or a habitat for wildlife. Footprint for the buildings was minimized to have minimum site disruption and to have maximum open area permissible. Creative and careful site designs are formulated to integrate the natural surroundings with the buildings. Building plot coverage is less than 30% with an emphasis on the expansive landscape and water body. Environmental and economic concerns are the key issues which were looked into before finalizing the site. Economic issues were reduced by minimizing the excavation of the soil, preserving existing plants and trees near the site boundaries which reduced the landscaping costs for the building. Indigenous plants are used which have less maintenance and also minimized inputs of fertilizers, pesticides and water, reducing the maintenance cost.
