Today, Indian real estate faces two major challenges- lack of credibility and residential offerings that do not align with consumer preferences and budget simultaneously. Krisumi Waterfall Residences has been conceptualized to provide an aesthetic sense and environment that people crave for. Luxury has been traditionally associated with the size or ticket price of apartments in India. Krisumi is redefining this paradigm by providing a best-in-class living environment in a ticket size more palatable to everyone. At Krisumi, our core beliefisquality, attention to detail and product enhancement to ensure that the requirements of each patron are met.”

Sharing insights into the project design and architecture of the project, Masakazu Kimura, Head of Global Design Department & Principal Architect, Nikken Sekkei, said: “Nikken Sekkei is the leading architectural and master planning company consistently ranked top 3 in the world. Our journey with this project started in 2015 with a masterplan. In Japan, we believe that any project needs whole-to-whole and part-to-whole integration in a consistent manner. While conceptualizing architecture, landscape and interiors of Waterfall Residences, we have blended emotions, sentiments and community living in Indian culture and integrated with Japanese simplicity and design. We have tried to combine traditional Japanese design concepts such as zen, etc., to create a unified design language with a unique design identity with a modern feel. A lot of attention is made to detailing through decades of experience. To summarize, Krisumi Waterfall Residences is a piece of modern-day Japan in alignment with Indian requirements at the moment.”

Vineet Nanda, Director, Sales & Marketing, Krisumi Corporation, said: “The COVID-19 era has reaffirmed the significance of spacious residential offerings amidst verdant greenery along with a sprawling club equipped with premium facilities for residents and their guests. It has also pivoted the focus towards credible developers offering sustainable design as a key value propositionin their residential properties. Keeping pace with rapid digitization,this film conceptualized by legendary Hardev Singh and Harmeet Singhaims to showcase our flagship project and offer a curated experience to our patrons,without the need of having to visit the sales lounge amid COVID-19.”
