Fortune Township was awarded Best Affordable Housing at the CNBC Real Estate Awards in 2019.
Fortune Township, located on 8 acres of land in Barasat, on the outskirts of Kolkata, is a captivating residential project. The development unfolds in four phases, with buildings arranged around a central green space. Each green area features an artificial water body, serving as both a scenic feature and a reservoir for rainwater harvesting, promoting sustainable practices.
To optimize thermal comfort, the majority of buildings have their shorter sides oriented in the east-west direction, minimizing heat gain from direct sunlight. Those positioned in the north-south direction benefit from the shading provided by adjacent buildings, enhancing energy efficiency.
The spacing between buildings creates a wind tunnel effect, fostering natural ventilation and a refreshing airflow within the enclosed green areas. This design approach ensures a breezy and invigorating environment for residents to relish.
The architectural design seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, harmonizing with the natural beauty of the area. The structures blend effortlessly, avoiding overpowering elements and creating a balanced and integrated ambience.
