The project has been developed by Groupe Auchan and masterminded by its real estate business Immochan.

Models of their work will be exhibited publicly for the first time at MIPIM. Skolkovo City, Federation of Russia The Skolkovo project is almost a city within a city, a master-planned community covering 400 hectares and designed to meet every need, from business to education, from research to residential. Nearby housing and open spaces allow for easy commutes in an environmentally friendly development that encourages walking and bicycling. Skolkovo's proximity to Moscow via road and public transport will allow for a reduction in emissions and an increase in employee efficiency as researchers and entrepreneurs travel between the two regions. Primanti, India Primanti is a new residential district in Gurgaon, an Indian city to the southeast of New Delhi that has one of the highest rates of growth and development in the country. Designed by the international architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and developed by Tata Housing Development Company Ltd, it will offer a new lifestyle with 1,060 housing units spread over a set of distinct areas including parks and urban spaces and amenities such as club houses, swimming pools, tennis courts and schools, creating a rich urban experience and a strong sense of community. The variety of sizes and textures of the buildings helps create a balanced urban fabric that offers four housing solutions: luxury apartments, tower blocks, villas and individual floors, with something for every budget and family structure. Designed to specifications laid down by the Indian Council for Green Building, the project delivers environmental solutions suited to the local climate of wide variations in temperature and strong sunlight. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
