Supertech Tips on Meeting with Interior Designer

Planning to meet an interior designer to redesign your home? Then why not to plan out your questions and views that will not only save your money but also their time. Here come few tips from Supertech to help you to let designer get inside your head. After all it’s your home, your space, your family so let it be your mirror.

Start with the uses for space like if it is a personal space which needs an inspiring or a calming environment or a family room where kids do homework. There are plenty of ideas designers can come up with if they know the purpose of the room and how you and your family intend to use it.

Next comes the list of tasks do you need lighting for. The proper lighting scheme will make your space more functional for all your tasks. If you elaborate what you intend to do in your elaborate to designer, he or she can formulate the best lighting approach.

Now think of what you like in terms of colors style and overall feel. Always create your own book of ideas for each space and do not forget to add comments under each photograph. Consider what speaks to you or is there anything you personally cherish. Never bound yourself with single style of design. Be open to hearing a designer’s pitch on a combination of styles that might surprise you and also prove to be time as well as money saver.

Highlight your budget. Setting budget expectations is important to the success of any remodeling or new construction project. Always be realistic with your budget. Share your budget right away with your designer, as this will set the tone of makeover and will eliminate unnecessary backtracking later.

Last but not the least, how much you want to involve yourself in your project. Clarifying your expectations will help you and your designer to communicate well and ensure the result you want.
Hit the track and remodel your space as you always wished for!!..

Embrace Green For Healthy Living

The concept of green building is witnessing popularity in corporate, institutional and residential sectors of Indian real estate where an increasing number of stakeholders acknowledge the benefits of green design and technology in the construction of buildings. Green buildings promise well-ventilated working and residential space with three side-open units along with the well-planned landscape parks with provision for solar lighting for street lights in offices and common areas in townships.

Many realty majors such as Supertech Limited, Cosmic Group, Ansal, etc. are ready to fulfill the aspirations of today’s buyers and investors, who are not only interested in price and location but also, look into that quality of the project built using elements of green building. Several locations in NCR are now transforming into a promising market with better physical infrastructure. The testimony of this has been luxury projects shaping up well in Gurgaon and Noida such as Hues in Gurgaon, Supernova and North Eye in Noida by Supertech. Born out of this strong desire for eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable living, these projects offer well designed homes with world class amenities. Development authorities have awarded 5 percent additional FAR to developers who are coming up with green buildings.
With third rank in the latest US Green Building Council report, India is emerging as one of the rapid adopters of sustainable building practices with 11.64 million gross square meters of LEED-certified space.

The main objective of green projects being developed by private developers is to craft energy- and water- efficient, comfortable, healthy and environmental friendly buildings and homes. Now, customers have the opportunity to own a home in certified green townships, rated under GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) in India. Also, ADARSH (Association for Development and Research of Sustainable Habitats) monitors and selects the type of vegetation and trees being planted in these green rated townships.

Brighten you home with healthy indoor plants

Nothing is more pleasant than having refreshed, repotted and re-positioned indoor plants. All too often we either love our houseplants or neglect them to death. But with little common sense, a bit of love and a dash of courage, indoor plants can live and thrive for years. Here are few key points to keep in mind.

Place them properly. It’s true: Where you live makes a difference to your health. And same applies for plants. While placing plants in your home make sure the location has proper ventilation and natural light and keeps it in mind to save them from direct sunlight. This will give them more favorable growing environment, which will reduce stress on the plant and water loss.

Be water wise. If anything were likely to be killed with kindness, it would be an indoor plant. A good indicator that a plant needs to be watered is when its leaves start to droop. Oddly, this is also an indication that plant has been over-watered. Once a plant has root rot from over-watering, it can be very difficult for it to recover.

Give them room to grow. Large plants are an investment and need good care. Make sure the pot you choose allows room for the plant to grow over the years.

Keep them clean. The surface of the leaves is covered with tiny little vents that open and close during the day and can become clogged with dust. Outside, the leaves get washed clean with rain; indoors, a gentle wiping with clean and damp cloth will keep the leaves look shiny and healthy.

When it comes to houses, Supertech gives that sufficient space not only for you but also for your lovely indoor plants to flourish. After all indoor plants not only serve as decorating items but as your personal oxygen giving unit.
