Serving as the flagship for a new 300-acre township outside New Delhi, India, The Grand Arch features over 900 residential units in both high and mid-rise buildings. Located on a 30-acre site, the project also includes a central community, cultural and recreation facility. Drawn to the impressive arches framing timeless mogul architectural works like the Taj Mahal, Sorg Architects infused monumental inspiration with modern minimalist design to define a new perspective in the current building boom and provide contemporary housing for India’s newly formed middle class. All unites in The Grand Arch are energy efficient, featuring double glazed windows to prevent heat gain and loss and energy conserving VRV air conditioning systems. The development also includes solar water heating systems, solar lighting systems, and sun-shading throughout. Water conservation is achieved through efficient and low-flow plumbing systems and rain water collection and reuse. A dedicated waste-water treatment plant uses state-of-the-art efficient membrane technology for purification and recycling.
