India is flourishing in all aspects, except when it comes to building sustainable designs. That’s why Landmark Park, an IT hub in Gurgaon, designed by Christopher Charles is such an attention grabber! Built on 1.5 million square feet, the building provides 100% wi-fi support and 100% power back-up, quintessential requirements of an IT office. Designed to repel heat and insulate the interior work areas, a terrace garden in the sky court and irrigation by the structure’s water recycling systems add on to deliver a cool and pleasurable atmosphere for the staff indoors.
Rain water harvesting and ground water recharge are few, among the immense other features that’s been provided. Addtional features like a pool, health club etc only make u rave about the design a little more. At the end of the day, I personally think it’s superb that India is being a part of the ‘green’ race and coming up with full fledged environmentally sensitive plans, that apart from providing the basic facilities also help in cost-cutting and energy saving. This plan is just what our country needs, and is said to come into practice in the following three years.

Nithya, its good to see India also making it in the ’green’ map. Hope to see many more such green buildings coming up.
Would love the see office buildinga in BKC going green.
Yes indeed! India is making leaps and bounds on the green map and this is not the only story we’ve made. The Rabi Rashmi Abasan is another classic example of our countries efforts.
I’m really looking forward to the next big advance we make. This is by no means the last step.
O yes, I remember the Rabi Rashmi Abasan post you had written about. Its great to see more green works coming up.
