DESIGN
The architectural detailing of the facade features a local granite-clad high plinth and walls interpreting the semi-colonial language of Yercaud buildings in the modern sense.
eco-friendly initiatives
More than 80% of the property has a green cover.
A large nursery where new varieties of plants are grown and experimented with, many of which are later planted at various places in the estate.
The office structure is fully self-sufficient in generating its own power. A windmill, solar panels and a bio-gas plant feed its power.
The office was constructed using locally sourced eco-friendly material. No cement was used.
Extensive rainwater harvesting and organic waste is converted to manure
Eco-friendly vehicles - club car, segway personal transporters, Trikke vehicles and battery-operated cycles.
