26 Feb 2009
Mumbai real estate developer Lodha Group today said its first 'by invitation only' project, the Lodha Bellissimo, has been featured amongst the top 1,000 landscapes in the world in the latest edition of 1000x Landscape Architecture published bv Braun Publications, Germany.
"Not counting the independent bungalows of some of the uber-rich Indians, Lodha Bellissimo is the only residential project from India in the list," the developer said ina statement.
The landscape design for Lodha Bellissimo is based on a modern, contemporary style that combines the use of water and plants to create a dynamic and distinctive landscape. On the axis of the main entrance to the project stand an alley of trees, stretching to the far end of the project. A 5-meter high and 10-meter wide water wall and reflecting pool terminate this vista.
The tree-lined alley acts as a transition between the clubhouse precinct and the multi purpose lawn, a large area of green at the core of the project, which allows for passive and active use. This space could be used to play a game of cricket or for strolling along the water's edge.
Abhisheck Lodha, director, Lodha Group, said in a statement, ''Being the only residential project from India reinforces the fact that Lodha truly leads the way in creating innovative landmarks exemplary in design, luxury and quality in each category segment.''
