From turning an abandoned building into recreational homes for the elders, creating a reality immersed Zootopia to converting your own tiny space into a potential gardening arena or a play space for kids, it is all in the high hopes of creating and maintaining an immersive living, embedding the profanity of peaceful enjoyment that makes life joyful. This idea clubbed with the aim of reversing the damages caused by the human population, to restore balance and co-exist blissfully with other living beings has led to many mind-blowing innovations that are now being adopted by leading builders in Chennai and other popular places.
Let’s dive in!
- Concrete That Grows Plants on Walls… Wait, What?!
Innovative materials have the potential to change the realm of construction.
Do you know what materials are used for building your fancy homes/apartments? Concrete, bricks, woods, glass, granite, even carbon fibers are popularly used for building homes, flats, and apartments.
Concrete normally used emits an average of 927kg of CO2 for every 1000kg of cement produced. That’s huge!
To mitigate this CO2 emission, experts have turned to science and have discovered biological concrete, a name coined for a special type of concrete that literally captures water and enables the growth of moss and fungi. It is made up of 3 layers, one to absorb, another to retain and the final layer, to waterproof the building for the long run. The best part is the low maintenance that is needed compared to other types of living wall structures that have been implemented before. Moreover, they liven up your walls, can be used as a temperature regulator, and are fabulously aesthetic. Another interesting part is, they absorb CO2 and emit O2 all the while engaging your senses and adding natural style to your building. Interesting, isn’t it?
- Liquid Granite
If you are a hard-core granite lover, then this one is for you! This incredible material is made up of 30 to 70 percent recycled materials and has the same load-bearing capacity as the cement. You can even use it as an alternative to cement! On top of that, it is super resistant to the fire of up to 1,100 degrees Celsius while remaining structurally intact. Also, they give a super luxurious finish and zero environmental impacts. You can reimagine its purpose at your apartments or home. Sky’s the limit!
- Low E-Glass Films
The next-Gen window film tech is here to stay! This sustainable product helps in energy conservation of your home/apartment buildings while allowing only light to pass through. That means your house will stay cool and lit in warm weather, warm and lit in cold weather while most of the UVA/UVB rays stay out. And you get to save loads on that electricity bill of yours.
- Carbon Fibres
Carbon fibers are fibers made up of very thin and strong filaments of carbon that is widely used in building aircraft and other monumental structures. They are thinner than human hair and 5 times stronger than steel so to speak. They can also be woven together into any shape due to their high flexibility. They have recently found their way into the commercial architectural field. Most top builders in Chennai like GP Homes make good use of carbon fibers to build everlasting houses and homestays.
These innovations are nowadays more often used by leading builders in Chennai and other top metro cities in India.
Advancements in building materials have also led to more creative and smart usage of living spaces when living in apartments and Flats in Anna Nagar, studio apartments in Ayapakkam, and other highly populated places.
