Theme living becomes the new in-thing in India’s metropolitan cities

Leon’s World at Rustomjee Athena, Urbania

Imagine living with Disney characters or having a personal amusement park instead of the regular playground right within your apartment complex. Builders and developers are fast realizing that the moolah is in catering unusually well to specific needs instead of simply meeting up baseline requirements and they are identifying niches, mini target segments to go after. These could be children, sports enthusiasts or senior citizens.

Theme-based projects have kicked off in India and hold a good growth potential. The reason that these types of projects stand out amongst others is because they are marketed differently, target a specified clientele and are customized according to the need of the buyer. Experts believe that even though theme-based residential projects are new to India yet it will grow significantly in the future as there is a novelty factor attached to these projects.

Rustomjee Group in Mumbai also has created dedicated children’s living in some of their projects. They have a knowledge and activity Centre known as ‘The Leons World’ and Yazoo Park in the Evershine Global City project in Virar. Yazoo Park is a 12-acre exclusive amusement park for kids inside the township. Percy S. Chowdhry, Director of Rustomjee Group says that such concepts are likely to gain momentum going forward as people want to experience focused living.

How child-friendly is your home?

Do you wish that there was enough room to chase butterflies and kites across open fields? Prepare your child for his first football match? Swim along to see how quickly he learns to have fun and splash around in the water?

Rustomjee Urbania, a 127 acre township in Thane brings you just that – childhoods. We understand that it is the little things that matter to you most, as a parent; little things that ensure childhoods to every child. All the residents of these apartments in thane can present their children with childhoods!

Letting kids be kids and toddlers exploring their own world freely in the safety of padded play areas, we ensures child friendliness in our homes and around. Rustomjee has also taken further steps to equip homes to make them safer for children. Here are a few safety measures undertaken by us, for these residential properties in thane, so that your child is free to explore his / her surroundings:

• Low VOC emission paint used for health reasons
• All edges of stone counters splayed / rounded to avoid injury
• Reflective glass in windows for better cooling in the flat for comfort reasons
• Magnetic door catchers to stop door shutters in one place & avoid accidents of damaging kids fingers
• Locks have been provided to doors inside the flats which can be opened from outside using a key so that children don’t get trapped inside any room / toilet even by mistake
• High railing has been set up with safe designs which does not let the kids to lean out or climb up, thus avoiding hazards
• We try & provide some traffic free zones where children can play & move freely
• We provide child safe switches
• We use EPDM mats in kids play area which acts as a safeguard for kids when they fall from the play equipments (Sand pits are no longer used)
• We provide anti-skid flooring tiles in wet area like toilets & balconies, so people do not slip & fall.

We believe in intuitive designs that not only beautify your homes but also provide security and comfort to your loved ones.

Integrating this thought to provide comfortable and safe growth spaces for children not just within their home but also in their play area, Rustomjee Urbania introduced the concept of ‘Leon’s World’ for our homes in Thane.

Leon’s World is a space where kids explore a world of learning beyond the ordinary. Based on the Theory of Multiple intelligences, Leon’s World intends to develop various intelligences of a child – linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal and the naturalist intelligence. The activity centers include the following –

• Leon’s World of Maths and Science
• Leon’s World of Colours
• Leon’s World of Music
• Leon’s World of Words
• Leon’s World for Early Learning
• Leon’s World of Nature
• Leon’s World of Outdoor

Each activity center ensures that children have fun learning and exploring a world of their own where natural talents are nurtured and extended till they fulfill their potential, while at the same time providing a balanced learning environment which stimulates other intelligences and helps a child to mature into a well rounded individual.

It’s Thoughtful. It’s Rustomjee.
