DECK PARKING & LANDSCAPE PODIUM - CONCEPTUAL SKETCH The concept of a LANDSCAPE PODIUM helps in making proper usage of the space available. The space underneath this podium is used as a parking lot, to fulfil 1 :1

parking criteria, and the elevated podium creates a separate zone for the green

area keeping aside the 6m fire driveway .required for the residential b u i l d i n g , totally free from pedestrian movement.
