The Gardens
All over the world, people still refer to Bangalore as the Garden City. Only denizens are privy to the changes. What were once blooming green lawns are now patches of mowed grass that thirst for fresh air. Wide, expansive roads that would generously take you everywhere in a jiffy, are clogged with snarling drivers exuding rage and grimy smoke. And the laid back lifestyle that let you have a long, leisurely breakfast, has morphed into a frenetic rush where breakfast is whatever's fastest to eat.
The Bangalore you knew and loved has changed. Irrevocably. But your desire for the Bangalorean way of life still remains.
A way of life you can now claim for your own, with ETA Star.
Project Profile
In Bangalore for the first time, ETA Star plans to recreate the Bangalorean way of life in the heart of the city. Christened The Gardens, in ode to Bangalore, this wondrous offering gives you all the comforts of old Bangalore, while letting you enjoy the advantages of its present day avatar.
Starting with a location that's right in the heart of the city... this forest haven is just 1.2 km away from Majestic and Bangalore's city Railway Station and barely 5 km from Vidhana Soudha.
Sitting pretty on Magadi Road, The Gardens transport you to old Bangalore - where you can leave just a few minutes early for a night out, where your home is just minutes away from the city's pulsing core and where amenities like supermarkets are within hopping distance. The Gardens also transport you to a time when lush gardens and an environment of complete peace and quiet, when the most common noises you hear aren't blaring horns, but the twittering of birds, the giggles of your children playing, and the amused murmurs of your parents taking a stroll.
And where not only do you have more time to enjoy life in, you have the inclination to enjoy it in as well. Where you're eager to enjoy every moment of it and are filled with a sense of well-being.
In fact, where it feels like you're back home. In Bangalore.
Concept Development
Not just a House. A Home.
Each apartment at The Gardens has been lovingly crafted to perfection. Using only the most luxurious materials like marble flooring and teakwood doors, we've made sure that after we put you within hopping distance of the hub of the city, we build homes that you'll love spending all your extra time in.
Development in the sky
The majority of inhabited accommodation will be at or above the tree canopy level which characterizes this 'development in the sky'.
Tower Block Elevations
Each tower is a 19 storey construction. The architecture is a direct function of the intended environmental performance of the building. Thus, the end elevations are perforate, richly planted and composed of more delicate structures and balcony/sky-garden elements. Balconies are recessed and window openings are carefully arranged according to the internal spaces which they serve.
The roof is envisaged as a unifying element, covering the full extent of the building and being visibly connected to the projecting balconies at the east and west ends. The roof will also serve as a major rainwater collection device.
Towering with purpose
The Gardens comprise of ten tower blocks, each boasting a unique and spectacular view of the development. Offering a calming refuge from the heat and dust of the city, this project is based on a unique structural design. The east-west oriented towers are of different heights and have two wings around an atrium space. This innovation ensures that excessive solar gain is avoided, keeping apartments cool. It also ensures that winds are directed all around the estate, promoting air circulation. Each apartment's internal environment is thus shaded, cool and comfortable - without air conditioning. And to be further responsive to Bangalore's beautiful climate, each tower is endowed with charming sky gardens at every 6th, 12th, and 18th floor.
All towers are also interconnected by bridges - so when you want to visit a neighbour, you don't have to go all the way down, but simply walk across the linking bridge to where you want to be. The combined benefits of having ten huge towers also include the provision of an ample covered car parking area.
Come to The Gardens...return to Bangalore
Possessing a landscape that defines its very nature, The Gardens is slated to be one of Bangalore's most unique developments. With a design that respects and enhances the natural landscape, The Gardens is now a place for life, activity and relaxation - a time portal into the Bangalore of old... place where people rediscover the joy of living life today, at yesterday's pace.
