Designed in response to the client’s brief, the location of the site & the city’s climate, Excellenseaa 126 creates a micro environment that is sustainable.

The extensive landscaping with trees, plants and water bodies helps in passive cooling. The large overhangs & outdoor decks to each apartment reduce heat gain whilst adding individual outdoor spaces.

Water recycling, rain water harvesting, sewage treatment & solar panels contribute towards reducing the carbon footprint& making the project self-sufficient.

The numerous sporting & entertainment activities are supplemented by conferencing facilities, a grocery store, a medical room, a laundromat & housekeeping staff facilities
