Green Cascades

Green Cascades integrates nature into vertical housing, creating multi-scalar microclimates for Ahmedabad’s hot, dry climate. Inspired by cascading layers, the design connects ground-level landscapes to elevated green spaces through stepped massing and strategic voids.  Double-height volumes, pocket gardens, and shaded terraces ensure diverse open spaces, fostering interaction and relaxation at every level. By blending architecture and greenery, the project promotes sustainability, biodiversity, and comfort. Green Cascades offers a seamless transition from high-rise to ground, creating a harmonious living environment where nature and urban life coexist beautifully.
