Kolkata, 28th March, 2019: While Kolkata is famous as the cultural capital of the country, it is also popular for some architectural marvels that leave everyone enthralled. Whether it?s the magnificence of the iconic Howrah Bridge or the brilliance of Vidyasagar Setu, you will be nothing but a spellbound spectator.

The Realty Sector of the city is also witnessing the parallel trend in the city, Industry experts believe offers and festive sales are not going to attract consumers anymore, they need to come up with innovative and unique constructions. The Developers are coming up with advanced designs and spellbinding architecture, they are not compromising with the quality and final results. Be it technology, aesthetics or cost-effectiveness, developers are now looking beyond traditional formats of designing and marketing to sustain themselves in the market.

Features like Terracotta separators in place of walls, sloping roofing in the balconies or cupboards made of superfluous pinewood are some of the aboriginal architecture that is making its way into urban homes. The concept of indigenous architecture is becoming popular in the urban housing sector, developers are coming up with neither eco-friendly nor sustainable but a mixture of both architectures in their buildings. For Example, some prominent companies are using the cob technique adopted from traditional homes in Assam to make walls in several of their construction. Cob is a mixture of sandy soil, clay, and straw. It is long-lasting, inexpensive, entirely recyclable and pollution-free.

Architects and Engineers across the world are progressively using technology to make their lives simpler and work faster. One such modernisation that has changed the way construction sector functions is Building Information Modelling (BIM). It has become an essential part of any project design today. It empowers a smarter and faster design process, involved planning and visualization, to simulation and construction.

Kolkata is indorsing unique designs, concepts and bold execution under the supervision and vision of some of the best architectures of the world.

Bridging the skies ? ?Skywalk? by Siddha

Siddha Group has launched a series of Skywalks in their upcoming housing projects - Siddha Galaxia, Siddha Sky, Siddha Suburbia & Siddha Eden Lakeville, making skywalks affordable and an unbelievable experience for the residents. Skywalks are elevated, a usually enclosed walkway between two buildings, are built to cross a large interior space, as an atrium, or built over a street to link two buildings. Strung between two visually disconnected masses of development or buildings, a gangway becomes an urban bridge, giving pedestrians a soaring understanding of a building?s elevation.

Siddha is developing over 2 Kilometres long joggers track across all the skywalks. Each of the skywalks will boast off landscaped greens, sitting area, deck for telescope, water bodies with fountain, outdoor lounge, pantry, toilet, yoga & meditation room, amphitheater, sundeck and children?s play area.

The last year was a roller coaster ride for the real estate industry and the effects of policy changes in the present year are yet to be seen. It is hence really apt for the developers to take a step ahead in innovation so that they are able to withstand any market fluctuations.
