The resort community was conceived with the idea of "green tranquility". It satisfies the need for solitude as well as socialization, the desire for security while allowing intimate contact with nature. The pro- gram and master plan is set out to explore the relationship between the individual and the community, between individual and the nature; where landscape flows through built forms. The design emphasizes an idyllic environment. The graciousness of early morning, the soothing greens, gurgling waterscapes and the inspiration of an endless crisp blue sky offer ultimate experience and lifestyle. The program includes vastu compliant 500 residential villas of mainly three variants having private pools, resort, country club, 23 acre golf course having 1150 yards of play length, fitness center, commercial plaza, service villas, service apartments, common greens, temple and small parks.

Tranquil Living Nestled in Undivided Greens
With gated communities and high security infrastructure in plotted bungalow schemes being the order of the
day, designing ‘The Other Side’, as the name literally suggests, presented a refreshing opportunity. The
promoters placed a high stake on sustainability in this scheme, briefing the designers to create ‘green
tranquility’ by providing an abundance of comforts and amenities while retaining a largely untouched
landscape. The resulting delivery by team INI was a neighborhood of 500+ villas laid out in widely out-spread
concentric rings across 160 acres of the sprawling natural topography which gets artfully integrated within it.
The Vastu-compliant villas have plots with private pools, demarcated by only green hedges wherever
required. Consequently, they manifest as elements of an undivided community while mitigating the
inessential use of unnatural materials. Interlaced seamlessly into its central spine is a 23-acre golf course
which utilizes the existing undulations and waterbodies to its advantage.
Sustainable, Biodiversity Friendly Development
The Other Side responds to the urgent global need to recognize our natural capital and its
contribution of biodiversity for a sustainable future. It not only leaves the prevalent
waterbodies unmodified, natural flora untouched and existing mature trees un-axed, it adds
to the rich landscape by planting many more trees. Sustainability is also achieved by
employing tools like an integrated water management system with an STP and a Zero Liquid
Discharge arrangement to mitigate waste-water and reuse it. Solar panels and sensor-fitted
electrical fixtures help conserve energy.
Substantial amenities like a clubhouse, resort, fitness center, commercial plaza,
serviced apartments and villas, play parks, sports fields and a temple vie for
attention with the natural wild thickets left ungroomed as well as manicured lawns
offering a range of greens for exploration along with opportunities for social
exchanges. The awesome scale of spaces, green and vacant traversed by
comfortable walkways, coupled with wide shaded pedestrian friendly roads having
a generous RoW and turning radii contribute an aura of serene abundance. This
expansiveness stands accentuated by details like clean-lined built forms and
double height spaces in villa interiors projecting large, unbroken architectural
massing. ‘No Development Zones’, consequent of services like an underground gas
pipeline, find unfettered integration within the landscape while provisions like
security are also subtly yet adequately constituted in the scheme.
