The site geometry is very similar to a mobile SIM card hence making the arrangement of different components of the sim card work as a inspiration for us.

SECTION AND GRADING
The pre-existing trees are used as a sun barrier saving the building from the hard south-sun, hence making the arrangement of exterior seatings successful.
ELEMENT WHY
FOUNTAIN
(Water Feature)
Garden fountains contribute to the landscape experience. Fountain has been used to create drama or tranquility in the landscape. Moving water in fountains, energizes the outdoor environment with sound and movement
GEODESIC DOME
(Visual Magnifier)
Geodesic domes, along with being a representative of fabulous geometrical structurality, these also represent a curvilinear form with linearr elements, hence making the curvilinear merge into linear.
GRADING
Essentially grading is intended to prepare outdoor living spaces for elements like plants, hardscaping, paths, patios, stairs, pools, and more. Grading can also be used to ensure water flows away from your home and won’t erode your property. It can also prevent standing water.
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
Landscape lighting significantly enhances the natural beauty and features of your property. Both LED and low-voltage lighting can be used to highlight your home's architectural elements, beautiful gardens, specimen trees & shrubs, and water features.
EXTERIOR VIEWS
These are cuboidal elements for creating boundarya wall and the cutouts are inspired from the geometry of IIM Ahmedabad
