Home
Medley is located to the North of Malhar, near
the main entrance. It is set in a mildly undulating
land, just under 4 acres, and the landscape design

within
makes use of this topography. Homes, parks and
open spaces are often at gently different levels to
provide a richer spatial experience. Plus, homes
are set around cluster parks with meandering

a home
streets connecting the entire neighbourhood. All
the significant features that encourage individual
privacy and community bonding are present here.
Across the road from Medley is the lush Footprints,
Malhar’s first community. A short walk to the South,
down the main access road, is Confluence, Malhar’s
sports and recreation club. The main access road itself is tree-lined; it is a favourite jogging/walking
track with Malhar’s residents. Adding to the charm of a green, spacious location is the fact that
Malhar has excellent connectivity—the NICE corridor, the upcoming Kengeri Metro terminal and the
bus terminal are all very accessible.
Medley has four home-types: Townhouses, Villaments, Walk-up homes and Apartments,
as detailed in the coming pages. There is a Medley community space for casual games and social
gatherings and, in addition, homes at Medley come with a membership to the Confluence Club for a
reasonable fee. It offers facilities for sports and leisure: there’s a large playing-field, swimming pool,
badminton/squash courts, a well equipped gym, a cafe and accommodation for guests.

Home
Medley is a single community with 4 distinct home-types
within it: Townhouses, Apartments, Villaments and
Walk-up homes.

Types
These houses were designed with the insights
gained from our engagement with the previous Malhar
communities. Our residents shared certain needs that
were very real from their perspective which, for us, was
an opportunity to adapt our architectural experience
to new kinds of homes. For example, the possibility for
a home that could be, at the same time, separate yet connected for a family of grandparents, working
children and grandchildren. Or, a compact home without taking away the spaciousness of the garden
within. Or, apartments that could nurture a deep sense of community and involvement with nature. With
Medley, we are proud to have been able to synthesise these distinct requirements into a unified space.
Despite this variety, every home in Medley is designed with a sensitivity to the light, air and
the evolving greenery that surrounds it and the balance of private and community spaces that is
central to GoodEarth’s ethos.
