With the onset of the summer season, ambient temperatures have increased sharply in Hyderabad and Telangana. Hyderabad and adjoining areas are sweltering in summer heat as early as in April this year. Weather forecasts indicate a possible onset of El Nino weather pattern in the second half of 2026. If El Nino develops in 2026, then it is likely that Hyderabad and other parts of the country will see higher than normal ambient temperatures this year.
Amid rising temperatures, it has become imperative for citizens to stay protected from extreme heat. Hydration, light color clothes and reduction of exposure to direct sun can help mitigate the impact of sweltering heat to some extent. Apart from personal care, homes and the places of shelter play an important role in reducing the impact of summer heat.
Thankfully, modern architecture is adapting to changing weather conditions. Houses are being built to suit the needs of the residents and changing weather patterns. Comfort and wellbeing of residents is gaining primacy.
Among the key elements being incorporated are passive ventilation where the architecture design encourages natural air to circulate in and around the building throughout the day. This keeps homes cool. Light is filtered through courtyards reducing the heat transmission. Light through expansive windows and doors is controlled through home furnishings to keep ambient temperatures low during the daytime.
The environment friendly architecture designs are best incorporated in Muppa Projects. The company’s Green Grandeur apartment project in Serlingampally, Tellapur Road, won the prestigious Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) certification.
Muppa’s Indraprastha luxury villa community is a green oasis in the midst of Osman Nagar, Tellapur. The 36-acre project has the highest tree density among all villa communities in the area. The community has multiple parks and roads are lined with trees.
Importantly, Muppa’s Indraprastha villas are designed to harness natural lighting and ventilation. The natural green spaces around the villas and sprawling parks with greenery have been integrated with architectural plan to reduce the urban heat island effect. Moreover, Muppa’s Indraprastha leverages natural resources for a sustainable and healthy living.
Similarly, architecture planning of Muppa’s Melody apartment project is optimized for continuous cross ventilation of natural air. Importantly, the project is surrounded by expansive open areas and green zones. Osman Nagar shares a boundary with 1.32 lakh acres bio conservation zone. Hyderabad Central University is on the East side. BHEL and ICRISAT lands are on the North side. The large open areas enable free flow of natural air.
In effect, Muppa’s Melody and Muppa’s Indraprastha are designed around nature. The expansive open spaces provide a peaceful environment for residential living. The wide-open spaces and green environment reduce heat island effect, provides natural air, improves air quality, recharges groundwater and promotes overall wellbeing of the residents.
