Social connectedness is the key to modern civilization. But in modern urban societies, people are going gradually away from each other and other forms of social interaction are changing. The initial plan for The Platinum Residence was to break these boundaries & return to our own roots, to create newer dimensions for our urban social sphere.

If we can celebrate our living then there is nothing more precious than that. The celebration comes from interaction among people. Not so long-ago social interaction among people was much livelier. People need spaces for interacting with each other. One of the main reasons behind this interaction was the presence of open wide spaces where they could gather and pass their moments together.

As our central concept, we have used open common space in the form of a courtyard in this project.  A courtyard can connect people living around creating the spirit of social interaction. For any urban community, an open space shared by all can be a very precious thing where the scarcity of land is acute. But the celebration of living starts from the sharing of moments together. The courtyard space provides that opportunity to the people residing around it.

The Navana Platinum Residence is a G+6- storied building. Each floor has 6 units. So, there are 36 units consisting of 36 families in this building. There is an open-to-sky courtyard space. In the space, there are benches for sitting and greenery around for the people to spend quality time together. Surrounding this void there is a walkway. Elderly people and other residents can have nice morning or evening walks there and pass a pleasant time together. The clubhouse is the compound for all kinds of social occasions. For these interactions, residents come close to each other and can have a moment together. There is an indoor game room where underage and young people can play. 

There is a gym on the ground floor. So, residents who use the gym, enjoy the opportunity to interact with each other in the gym as well. On the rooftop, there are swimming pool, a sitting arrangement, and a garden. So, the rooftop is also a perfect place for gathering and social interaction.
