9. CONCLUSION:
• The Indian concept of “aangan” has been used. Hence so many courtyards have been provided.
• Usually in high-end housing, the residents hardly know their neighbours but Future towers has been planned in
such a way that it almost represents a “modern chawl”
• Future towers has made a great effort to bring people from different backgrounds together and it has also
promoted community living in many ways.
• Every apartment is sun-lit and airy.
• The open spaces, scoops, sky lounge, etc are used as informal gathering spaces. These open spaces have
something to offer to each age group of people.
• Fire fighting services and security has been given utmost importance in this project.
• The service road has a separate back entry and exit. It doesn’t disturb the residents who are moving around and
it also doesn’t cause a chaos in the regular driveway.
DRAWBACKS:
• Excessive lights are used to light up the landscape area and the outer structure. Hence residents complain of
light pollution.
• The amenities provided makes the project high-end but luxury is not experienced in all the flat units. Flats with
larger carpet area are more luxurious than flats with small carpet area.
• The branches of these trees will have solar lamps.
• This will be used to light up the outdoor gardens without any use of electricity
Solar Trees( to be implemented)
