The Parkside house for 150 apartments with one or two bedrooms was designed, as the authors emphasize, "according to the textbook": wide corridors and doorways allow you to move in a wheelchair, there are handrails in the corridors and bathrooms, places for "spontaneous" rest, benches for shopping bags near the front doors.
However, there is also an original component of the project: instead of a traditional club, its functions are spread across floors, stimulating communication between residents. These public facilities are visible from other levels thanks to the spacious atrium with greenery and ponds that unites all levels. A small amphitheater is turned into the atrium, where you can arrange performances, there are also the administration desk, salon, common dining room and kitchen (however, they are also in every apartment).
Parkside is located in the new residential complex Brigade Orchards: it is a whole microdistrict with a diverse infrastructure, designed primarily for employees of IT and other high-tech industries, the center of which is Bangalore. Its suburb of Devanahalli, where Brigade Orchards originated, is located close to the international airport, making it attractive for business people, but there are benefits for older residents as well. The south side of the Parkside house, facing the airport, received terraces from which you can watch planes landing and taking off.
To the north, next to the house, there is a Hindu temple: the architects connected it with the Parkside with wide steps and a small square where you can sing bhajans, do yoga, and meditate.
