On World Environment Day, the focus is on preserving our planet. In Shamshabad, a suburb of Hyderabad, a remarkable transformation is taking place. A project aims to integrate nature with urban living using the Miyawaki method on a 60-acre land. This initiative by Stonecraft Group is not just about construction but creating a dense forest to redefine urban spaces.
Woods Shamshabad is not a typical real estate project. It’s Hyderabad's first large-scale forest using the Miyawaki method, which accelerates tree growth. Here, 450,000 saplings from 186 native species grow rapidly, mimicking natural processes.
The focus at Woods Shamshabad extends beyond aesthetics. Each residential plot of about 1800 square yards features a ‘living green wall’. Dense trees around the plots reduce noise, clean the air, and create a cooler microclimate, cutting down on air-conditioning needs and improving air quality.
Sustainability is key, with rainwater harvesting systems capturing monsoon runoff and solar-powered rooftops lowering utility costs and carbon footprints.
Kirthi Chilukuri, Founder of Stonecraft Group, envisioned Woods Shamshabad as more than just homes. The goal was to create habitats where nature and people coexist harmoniously. This project exemplifies the blend of sustainability and luxury, offering residents a space to relax with minimal pollution and high biodiversity.
Strategically located near the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and the Outer Ring Road, Woods Shamshabad is well-connected. It also features 141 bird species, including kingfishers and koels, and 14 heritage trees from the Hyderabad Secretariat, fostering urban greenery.
Investors are keen on Woods Shamshabad, with land values rising since 2020. The project’s eco-friendly approach and innovative designs attract attention.
Woods Shamshabad is more than a place; it’s a movement for a thriving ecosystem. Residents gain not just homes but a vibrant environment. As the community grows, the air clears, and the forest expands, ensuring a sustainable future.
An ecology center on-site monitors biodiversity, ensuring the forest continues to thrive for years to come.
