The 250 square feet
houses that will be designed for five (5) different climatic zones, will
typically be priced at Rs. 2 lakh and service the lower segments of the socio
economic strata.
“We are trying to see
whether we can be successful in designing such dwellings” Mr. Venkatesh Valluri
said, adding that the firm hoped to have it for public viewing in the next one
year.
The firm has short
listed many ideas that it has received & each single floor dwelling will
have multiple technologies embedded in it.
Some of these could
be use of cloud computing for knowledge needs, use of solar or / bio-mass for
energy Mr. Venkatesh Valluri explained, but said that it was still a premature stage
to make any assessment.
