Here we have analysed and reviewed the design of 3 BHK Apartment admeasuring 801.00 sqm. Good desirable features have been shown as “Recommended “ (R) and undesirable features as “Not Recommended” (NR).
The road on which the Apartment abuts and the North have shown in the sketch.
Things will be different for all “4 – flats” as the wind direction as well as frontage and direction change for all flats. Hence comments which are applicable for flat no. 1 may not be applicable for 2, 3 & 4 and vice versa.
*R Recommended
*NR Not Recommended
Flat – 1
Flat – 2
