Description:

Landscape development of Gera's Astoria, Caranzalem, Panaji, Goa

Challenges:

Gera's Astoria is a premium residential project offering 2 & 3 BHK eco friendly resort styled apartments at Caranzalem, Panjim, Goa. Approximately spread over 11,000 sq.mts, the T-shaped complex consists of 8 floors having 224 residences and is well equipped with all modern comforts as well as a beautifully designed terrace garden.

Solutions:

The landscape concept attempted to complement the architectural treatment of the project which is developing the housing project as a resort. The whole focus was to create an organic resort with the building blocks tucked away in nature so as to provide the perfect getaway for a holiday seeker. All requisites of a resort such as open spaces, water features swimming pool and activity areas would be interwoven with the ancient elements of a Portuguese village street. The Planting would be tropical and lush, lots of massing of color and seasonal variation.

The terrace garden in addition to providing splendid Sea view of the beautiful Arabian Sea also encourages a vibrant, socially connected, urbane lifestyle while still fulfilling the need for privacy and individuality.
