Technical information

The first five floors of the building houses the bouquet hall, parking , concierge and other ancillaries. The Top of the bouquet hall contains a green roof that is accessible by users of the hotel. The green roof helps in cooling the bouquet hall below and helps the ecology of the environment. The roof will feature with a make-shift walkway fitted with sandcrete slabs(made from a cement,sand and water mix), sit-outs with cover provided by table-fitted umbrellas, little shrubs that serve to primarily aerate the environment on the roof and colorful potted plants (recommended by horticulturists) to increase the aesthetic appeal of the roof top. The green roof is adapted from existing buildings which display the effectiveness such a roof is having on their commercial revenue. Some advantages include:- a. Fire Retardation b. Aesthetic Improvement c. Moderation of the Urban Heat Island Effect
