We followed the strict fundamentals of the iHome concept which exhaustively looks into the design of the campus and the homes; the environment comprising the flora and fauna, water bodies, landscapes; the green design in collaboration with the elements of nature; the quality of materials, the certifications and the security of the campus and homes.

Yes, you could say that Songbirds has been designed with the levels of detailing you'd probably expect from a BMW 7 Series. And why demand any less? We know a lot of thought and consideration goes into buying a house. That's why we apply the same to our homes.

Architectural Design

To create with a serious undisturbed approach towards nature, using smart natural diversions and solutions, integrating basic elements of mother Earth, backed by detailed studies.

We were indeed blessed with nature's glory in the vegetation at Songbirds. However, it was a challenge to plan out the project without disturbing the natural cover. While it required an intense focus and attention to detail, we have left no stone unturned. Our techniques of Open Space Management have proved very effective in overcoming these challenges.

Campus Design

The core principle of Open Space Management is providing maximum natural open spaces, hence, Songbirds will be built covering about 30% of the plot. And leave 70% open to nature. Limited concrete structures to balance heat radiation and help rainwater percolation to keep groundwater reserves & the overall ground level cooler.

There is more than one reason why Songbirds residents will spend a lot of time outdoors and experience unplanned interactions.

Walkways and play areas have been kept disjointed from vehicular lanes eliminating unsafe possibilities to residents, especially children and senior residents. Ample green with trees and ponds kept as they are, in company of various birds, there is more than one reason why Songbirds residents will spend a lot of time outdoors and experience unplanned interactions and bonding.

Home Design

Thoughtful planning ensures living area instead of carpet or built up. All homes are built with livable spaces, with every inch covered carefully, leaving no scope for any non-productive or protruding area in and around your home. Adequately spaced structures along with the angular placement of the window view allow zero intrusion of privacy in your Songbirds home. Every home comes built in with the basic structure of connectivity and placement of any electronic appliance or gadget in the most useful ways that residents can plug in.

Every inch covered carefully, leaving no scope for any non-productive or protruding area in and around your home.

Landscape Design - Strategically planned to ensure spectacular panoramic views of grasslands exotic flora and more picturesque landscapes from every window.

At Songbirds, you will find a landscape design that is serene focused classical and yet contemporary. The landscape concept embodies a design approach to create environments that merge the indoor and outdoor living environs.

Comfortable Environment

Application of the core principle of Songbirds is seen with every structure that is built around any natural element, be it trees or water bodies. The ponds have been kept alive and the Ramanadi river stream ensures the balance of oxygen and carbon di-oxide, and a vision of planting 4000 trees on campus.

Sustainable Design

Water treatment plants ensure optimum usage of water and recycling of used water to the trees. Ground pipes installed at regular spaces in the soil allow the water received from monsoons go back to mother Earth with a view to give back to nature as we continue to live on.

Contemporary Framework

Songbirds symbolises the finest contemporary and modern design and style along with giving back to nature to co-exist with a healthy balance.

Environment - Retain the beauty as nature insisted

Microhabitat

• Songbirds shows a diverse topography and terrain, and lies at the base of the Western Ghats Surrounded by Bhugaon Hills, the 4,000 acre NDA forest, the adjoining.
• Four Seasons Farm House property and the Ram Nadi across its Northern border, Songbirds is secure from having any dense concrete development in its vicinity.
• The land has a low to a moderate slope and has a expected rainfall of around 150 cms every year. The average temperature 8 months a year in Bhugaon is of 25-30 degrees.

Flora

• In order to give back to nature as much as the space the residential structures will occupy at Songbirds, around 4000 trees will be planted in the complex to sustain and grow the nature quotient in the years to come.
• Songbirds has around 750 metres of riparian zone consisting mainly of old grown trees like mango, tamarind, etc along the Ramanadi river bank. Thus, due to availability of water (of the river stream) as well as better canopy proving good shelters for the birds, the diversity of birds observed in this patch was maximum as compared to other regions on this land.
• The diversity of birds also indicates availability of their food i.e. insects, nectar, sag etc. in the area as a natural world. There are over 33 kinds of trees, 43 kinds of herbs and 5 kinds of climbers in the complex.
• All structures are being built around the very old trees that stand witness to over a 100 years of civilization and more.
• The upper contour of the land shows dry deciduous type of trees including prominent presence of Neem, Pangara, Babhul, Bor. The second patch of the middle contour shows presence of dominantly herbs and grasses as there is not any canopy cover and the land is directly exposed to the sunlight. The third patch of lower contour shows moist deciduous type of vegetation along the riparian zone (along the stream) including trees like Mango, Jamun, Bhokar, Aain, Pimpal, Umbar.

Fauna

• Over 50 species of birds have already made Songbirds their home. And this flourishing bird life helps maintain the balance of the ecosystem in and around Bhugaon Hills.
• Baya Weaver - The Baya Weaver (Ploceus philippinus) is a weaverbird found across South and Southeast Asia. Baya Weavers are social and gregarious birds. They forage in flocks for seeds, both on the plants and on the ground.
• White Throated Kingfisher - This kingfisher widely distributed in Eurasia from Bulgaria Turkey, east through South Asia to the Philippines. It is a resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short distance movements.
• Oriental Magpie-Robin - Distributed in most of the Indian Subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, they are common birds in urban gardens as well as forests.

Earth & Water

• Spotted around on the Songbirds layout are several small water bodies like ponds, wetlands, pools and birdbaths. These act as microclimates and respite areas for birds and other fauna They also look aesthetic and act as carbon dioxide sinks. Soil from excavation on site has been reused for landscaping and plantation to support native flora.
• Well-placed natural structures like stone pries, wooden logs, ponds, and grasslands help increase bio-diversity of birds, butterflies, reptiles and more. Fish plates placed in the river stream help the conservation and flow of fish all the way to the lakes.
• The groves of trees act as Carbon Dioxide sinks, keeping the air fresher and fuller with oxygen. The greenery helps keep the temperature lower. There are 400 trees surviving on this land and they'll become 4000 trees.

Security Guard and CCTV

• Professionally managed security guards check manually, along with screening devices, all visitors at entry and exit points.
• Non stop surveillance through CCTV's to ensure total safety at times even when no one seems looking.
• Video Door Phone & Double Door.
• Say hello before you open your doors using the video phones in your home. A double door ensures additional safety especially for those who have toddlers and pets and also senior citizens who would like to keep their homes partially open, mostly during the day.
