Resonance

Planning

Cluster planning has been a characteristic feature of GoodEarth’s developments. With Resonance, our emphasis has been on streets as friendly, social and interactive spaces. These streets, with chatty street corners and cluster parks, loop around the neighbourhood and converge at the plaza and lead to a large playground. The open spaces are planned at different levels, in response to the natural topography of the land, and are linked to each other, though densely wooded paths, which will be pedestrianised. The pedestrianised open space creates a calmer energy, which is also safe from vehicles, for play or to simply enjoy the greenery.

The Community Club

The club is Resonance's link to the rest of Malhar. Located at the lower end of the community, leading off the childrens play area, the club leads to the next phse of Malhar, through a walking path. The club will have a well equipped gymnasium, a games room - with a table tennis table and other indoor games, a pool table, a splash pool for kids and a multi purpose hall which leads into an intimate private garden. The multipurpose space may be used by the community for get togethers, yoga, dance and music.  

The Homes

The Open Plan Garden Home

As the name suggests, the spaces within this house flow seamlessly from the entrance verandah through the living and dining areas to the rear verandah and into the rear garden. This creates a sense of spaciousness in an otherwise compact plan. The position of the plot in the layout and proximity to the parks will decide the emphasis on the front or rear garden. The spaces are interconnected with minimum walls, with a staircase leading to the first floor. The larger houses have a study, and/or a puja-room added to them.This home is available in 6 variations Type 1a  to Type 1e.

The Skylit Internal Courtyard Home

These houses are designed around an inner courtyard. The courtyard is covered by a skylight and enhances the quality of light and air within the home, apart from being a visual treat within the home. The living and dining overlook this court, making this intimate garden space a part of the house. It gives room for personal expression in the rendering of its finishes and can be used to create a unique identity for each house. The bedrooms and kitchen overlook spacious backyards. Planned as three and four bedroom options, some of the units have a maids rooms and/or toilet attached. Almost all the units have a separate study, considering the growing trend of home office spaces. This house is available in three variations Type 2a to Type 2c

The Garden Courtyard Home

The garden courtyard home is sculpted around an open to sky garden, reminiscent of the “aangans” of traditional homes. This garden space is enveloped on either two or three sides by verandahs and windows that overlook it. It provides light and ventilation to the entire house. Most of the spaces are oriented to this courtyard. A more private home, the entrance verandah has a vibrant connection with the street. The rear yards of these homes are accessed through the kitchen, utility and maids room.

The Split level Home

This type of house is located where the natural slope is the steepest, the levels within the house following that of the land. The difference in levels creates interesting intimate spaces without compromising on the spaciousfeel. Separated by just a few steps, these levels allow for play in the volume of the spaces creating a dynamic visual movement. The living room sits at a level different from the dining, kitchen and bedrooms—giving it a separate identity and increasing the privacy of these quarters within the house. The living room also opens out into a garden that overlooks the park while the dining space overlooks a lower level garden.
