As the
global consciousness about the preservation of the environment is rising, the
importance of landscape architecture is deeply felt by everyone and implemented
in as many areas as possible. The fact is, surroundings make a significant
contribution to our quality of life. The presence of lush greenery in
abundance along with vast stretches of planned lawns, impeccably landscaped
avenues, and rows of gorgeous flowering trees – right outside your windows are
treating to the eyes and joy to the soul.
Premium
apartment complexes stand apart by offering stunning outdoor spaces for
their residents to enjoy throughout the year. Adding gorgeous, well-maintained
trees and landscapes offers substantial benefits to those living within
the complex. Also, adding shade trees and landscape gardens provides a large
amount of financial value to the apartment complex. In Newtown, the newly
developed planned city in Kolkata, the apartment
complexes receive great financial benefit by increased property values because
of the addition of valuable shade trees and well-manicured landscaping. A
young couple working in IT Sector of Saltlake Sector 5, wanted to live closer
to their workplace. So, they settled for a premium 3 BHK apartment in Rajarhat, Newtown where
bonding over cups of their favourite tea while enjoying the community’s
landscaped vistas is a morning ritual for them.
But why
landscaping is becoming a priority for developers?
1.
Sustainability:
Landscaping
can make a constructive contribution to the improvement rather than the
destruction of environment. Plants that form an important element in
landscape design aid in reducing the pollution of the environment and
minimizing some of the effects of heat, sound, wind, air etc. Sustainable
approaches represent holistic strategies which are making our environment
healthier and cleaner. Landscape architecture has a major role in this
practice, starting with energy saving and going all the way to water
purification. That’s why housing complexes are giving more importance to ample
natural light processing, extensive shading, and energy saving avenues,
rainwater harvesting, compost reserves.
2.
Aesthetic value:
The
addition of healthy shade trees and beautiful landscape gardens would
also add significant aesthetic value to the apartment complex property.
Landscaping makes dull areas look pleasing and it is possible to make ordinary
homes into spectacular ones with proper planning. Apartment complexes having
paths between buildings can have landscaping pebbles or gravel which creates a
polished, refined look. Housing complexes that look good visually easily
attract buyers. And landscape architecture plays a major role in bringing out
the view as well as in hiding the unattractive elements, such as old walls, sewer
pipelines and open drains. Highlighting a tranquil and picturesque outdoor
atmosphere throughout the year can help a lot while promoting residential
properties. Landscaping enhances the property appeal and adds value to it.
3.
Functionality:
Landscape
architecture is redefining luxury in residential properties by providing an
outdoor environment that is creative as well as functional in many ways. While
children can come close to nature within the premises, adults can enjoy a lazy
stroll around in the evening or go for jogging inhaling fresh air every day.
Residents will also have a place for healthy recreation and socialisation.
Trees and shrubs strategically planted throughout the complex can help block
window access and door entry by burglars, lowering the potential for criminal
activity.
