True green

Creating green

The pool and leisure space at ZED Woods. Subdued elegance.

The cascade of water adds a soothing touch.

Bring homethe leader

Apartments are claustrophobic. They are built choc‐a‐bloc. You rarely get to seeing your neighbour, and often don't want to know them.

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.

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 paradise of quiet and green expanse. veritable

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!

No sore skyrise this

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

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.

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.

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!

The ZED Sky villa

Our Shade of Green

ZED’S own inhouse architects, designers, water, waste and energy technologists work on the unique range of ZED systems. All of them are drawn

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

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.

Non‐toxic paints that is great for asthmatics .

Floors that are FSC/FSIrated and natural/composite floors

in semi‐open spaces.

Energy‐efficient, heat‐stopping walls–no bricks, no clay tiles/

blocks, no concrete blocks.

Use of renewable, green‐rated wood for doors/windows–non‐forest plantation timber only.

With finishes that are unmatched by most regular apartments.

Localized chemical‐free water treatment systems that enrich soil nutrients in your home gardens.

Daylighting: Passive lighting systems that invite sunlight

without inviting heat into your homes and the basement.

Unique ZED ‘Grow Your Own Water’ loop that ensures fresh water 24x7 with long‐term security on source

and supply.

Ozone‐friendly state‐of‐the‐artAC systems.

• All systems are low on skill and low on maintenance. Zed Aftercare maintains for a full year from handover, at subsidised costs.• No geysers at all in homes—with solar‐based hot water.• Homes that rely little on power from outside! No Municipal Water connection. No Sewerage Board connection to the outside. And energy bills that fall a minimum 40 per cent over regular apartment despite every home being air‐conditioned.

Water‐efficient home appliances.Taps and ZED water systems that save.

Rainwater harvested for meeting one‐fifth of home needs.

Wet waste from kitchens used for campus composting.

Energy‐efficient lighting and fans that save 80 per cent

over regular.

What a ZED WOODSHome offers

ZED Magic water 30 litre systems in homes (optional) that make water from air–for all high hygiene needs

of kitchen and drinking.

It’s wide. It’s expansive

N

Spacious parkingZED 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.

Fitness zoneThe community center provides a well‐equipped gym, and a roof top gazebo. Great for the odd party you want to host.

Your own sky gardenEach 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!

Community lounge Enjoy a quick and cozy dinner with your loved ones or be part of a big birthday bash by the elegant swimming pool.

Biowall screenFresh 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.

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.

Landscaped podiumAn acre’s rich spread of plants that cool and filter air. Great place for chatting up neighbours. And for kids to grow up.

For the differently abledCarefully designed corridor spaces and common areas that are sensitive to needs of the elderly and differently abled.

Water treatment plantRainwater 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.

Urban farmingFarm 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.

ZED Fitness Centre We believe that each one of you who becomes a part of the ZED Woods community share a sensitivity that is

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.
