Zed Woods is the best yet, from the ZED group over the last two decades of building deep eco homes.

1. Creating green
True green

2. The pool and leisure space at ZED Woods. Subdued elegance.
The cascade of water adds a soothing touch.

3. Apartments are claustrophobic. They are built choc‐a‐bloc. You rarely get to seeing your neighbour, and often don't want to know them.
Bring home
ZED Woods breaks this stereotype in astonishing ways. Its expansive, and leafy, courtyard is open to sky while not inviting the heat. It's so
private that this deep‐eco apartment has found people who are quiet, private, and will share a sensitivity that is rare.
the leader They make great neighbours. And the campus has a 100‐years old stud farm overlooking to the south, and the serene green of ZED TownsEnd to
the east. It’s a veritable paradise of quiet and green expanse.
ZED Woods is an apartment that is Platinum‐rated, at a dizzy 65 points on the green scale... makes it the highest so far in the world! It is one of
only five such smart buildings in the world—three of them are from the ZED stable!

4. India's first two Platinum‐rated* buildings—indeed the world's first—were designed and created by the ZED group. At ZED, ratings are secured
No sore both at intent stage and after completion. Most buildings don’t stand the test of the rating after it’s completed. ZED homes do. We rate them

once again after construction in order that we deliver benefits to the occupant.
Here is a low‐slung set of 60 apartment homes with a ground floor and 3 upper floors. It hugs the landscape, offers sober and earthy tones that
blend with the dense vegetation around.
* The Indian green Business Council’s building rating system offers Platinum rating as the highest rating for energy efficiency of a residential building.

5. The ZED There are as many as 20 of these apartments that are as good as independent homes, with no common walls with the next door apartment.
Sky villa
The ZED Sky villa is a luxury you can well afford.
ZED Woods is the best, yet, from the ZED group over the last two decades of building deep eco homes.
You don’t buy a pretty piece of property when you buy a ZED apartment... You buy into a home which does not get any greener, anywhere in
the world!

6. ZED’S own inhouse architects, designers, water, waste and energy technologists work on the unique range of ZED systems. All of them are drawn
Our Shade
from the best of design schools the world over. ZED domain expertise has won global acclaim. Our construction methods and quality regime are
obvious with the world‐class finishes ZED homes offer.
These zero energy designs offer the best of comfort and convenience –including air conditioning–, and yet secure independence from the grid
of Green for power and water. The ZED Woods campus has zero dependence on the water supply board, no lines connecting to the Sewerage Board, and
relies 50 per cent, less on the Power Grid. Compact to the regular. The saving you energy is massive, month after month for years. There is
nothing comparable.
That's our shade of green. It’s a true green.

What a ZED WOODS
Home offers

8. Your own sky garden
Each apartment has its own terrace. Homes at
ZED Woods are far cooler than any regular
home. Experience it. Don’t take our word for it!
Fitness zone
The community center provides a well‐equipped
gym, and a roof top gazebo. Great for the odd
party you want to host.
Spacious parking
ZED Woods carries an expansive naturally‐lit basement with as
many as 94 parking lots. The spacious basement offers the luxury
of greater maneuverability and greater space for turning in.
ZED Lite roads
Roads at ZED Woods have been made using
construction debris. This is a proprietary
technology that offers roads that need zero
repairs for 15 years at least.
Biowall screen
Fresh air circulation in the entire building, with a vertical
landspace offering fresh air‐producing plants. Breathe in
deeply at ZED Woods: the air quality is far superior. The
plants are carefully chosen—some exude ozone, all
absorb carbon, and leaves serve as a sponge for dust.
Community lounge
N Enjoy a quick and cozy dinner with your loved
ones or be part of a big birthday bash by the
elegant swimming pool.
It’s wide. It’s expansive

9. Landscaped podium
An acre’s rich spread of plants that cool and filter air. Great
place for chatting up neighbours. And for kids to grow up.
Urban farming
Farm to table. The joy of food on the table grown off the campus
is hard to measure. Be prosumers. The campus terraces offer
space for rooftop farming and rain water harvesting for the
whole community. Thoughtful features like shelf gardens for
kitchens with drip irrigation—for fenugreek, spinach, coriander,
okra, chilli, turnip, radishes—enable you to become prosumers
rather than mere consumers.
Water treatment plant
Rainwater harvesting and water treatment systems that reduce
freshwater demand by 40 per cent. No waste water ever leaves
the campus. Roof top rainwater harvesting feeds the domestic
water tanks and supplements the fresh water needs. Runoff
water from campus is redirected into percolation pits to
recharge the deep aquifer. ZED homes are world leaders in such
water management.
For the differently abled
Carefully designed corridor spaces and common
areas that are sensitive to needs of the elderly and
differently abled.

rare. Start a conversation with your neighbour over a rigorous workout at the leisure centre’s well equipped
gym or a conversation over a cup of chai at the roof top gazebo. Enjoy an evening of gregarious fun and
laughter at the pool, relish a quiet candlelight dinner at the deck, overlooking the waters.
The zen lines of the crafted spaces stir a sense of stillness. It is reflected in the architecture, with emphasis on
frames that celebrate the outdoors.
