The external facades display earthy colours with splashes of yellow and brown along with grey
basalt stone which is locally available. The planning considers the contour topography, terrain and
eco-systems giving maximum benefits to users. The efficiency in construction is maintained by
reducing the cost of construction with volume and weight of materials. Apart from basalt, other
regional materials like natural stones like Kadappah, granite, marble, sandstone, Gokak stone,
Alkud sand are used which are low energy intensive materials. Pre cast frames with fly ash are
used in interiors for WC and baths whilst as natural stones for flooring are used over 80% of the

The project has a relatively modest low budget of Rs. 14000 / sqm. The
comfort conditions are optimised and energy savings are also done with the
effective use of nature. The campus is environmentally responsible, profitable
& healthy to live & work.
Designer in the said project has successfully met with occupants need for
thermal and visual comfort at low level of energy and resource consumption.
After neglecting the ecology we have started realizing the importance
of surroundings and their ill effects on our comfort level and our
planet earth. Energy is consumed in all processes of constructions.
The materials and construction technique used in process of building
affects the ecological balance. Need for energy and environment
conscious building design has become a need of hour which is
fulfilled in the said project.
