An overwhelming response to The Brigade Millennium Fest
 |
| R. V. S. Rao, Exec. Director, HDFC, inaugurates the Brigade Millennium Fest. |
The Fest created an opportunity for home-buyers to seriously explore the possibilities of buying an apartment at Brigade Millennium, with 15 leading HFIs and the Brigade marketing team on hand to provide information and advice.
Special benefits in an enjoyable setting!
There were other important reasons to book an apartment during the Fest: buyers could beat the rate increase on Feb 1st; valuable gifts for the home were offered with each booking and a two-bedroom, fully-furnished model apartment gave a clear idea of what it would really feel like to call Brigade Millennium home.

Music played in the background; the warm and lively MC, Melody Austin, conducted on-the-spot interviews and quiz competitions (with T-shirts and caps offered as prizes); delicious refreshments were served to all visitors, courtesy Brigade Group; a children’s play area had been specially set up; and a caricature artist, Polaroid photographer and game stalls provided much amusement to old and young.
All roads lead to Millennium Avenue
Visitors entering the imposing portals of Millennium Avenue were greeted by colourful banners and flags, which set a festive mood. Evidence of hectic construction activity and buildings in different stages of completion added extra excitement to an already upbeat scene.
They felt the Millennium Magic!

Millennium Avenue: A great road to travel !
It’s an imposing way to enter an imposing project. Millennium Avenue extends from one end of Brigade Millennium to the other. This double road, 60 feet wide, is divided in two by a central median. Two majestic portals, with security posts, will stand at each end of the Avenue (one is already completed). Millennium Avenue will be brightly lit and have ‘parking nests’, street furniture and security posts at strategic points along its length.
Meet Tushar, Architect, The Woodrose Club
| |
|
|
Sitting on a 2-acre plot, covering a built-up area of 50,000 sft, the Woodrose Club is an independent, full-fledged club of international standards. The design of the Woodrose Club was born of a competition organised about a year ago by Brigade Group. The winner of the contest was an architectural firm called Ochre. The firm is headed by Tushar, a graduate of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering, Bangalore. In a brief interview, Tushar talks about his award winning design... What was your first reaction when you heard Ochre had won?
Initially, I was numb. We always hoped to win, but when it really happened we were ecstatic. It was a really big break for our team and we felt we deserved it.
What was your vision when you designed the club?
We envisioned a place that would be modern and cater to international standards, and yet have a scale and sense of space that would make one feel absolutely at peace with the surroundings. To have fluid spaces without compromising on functional aspects. The planning of activities has been done so as to include the mandatory set-back areas as deliberately designed spill-out areas.
Have there been many changes in the last few months?
Over the course of many discussions with Brigade, we have added extra guestrooms, dance floor, banquet hall and ATM. The swimming pool has been relocated. And there has been a considerable increase in built-up area, which is reflected in the overall massing.
What are your favourite design features?
The open, visually interconnected spaces; the expanse of green at various levels, interspersed between layered planes.
How do you define the personality of the club?
I see the club as having a transparent character with fresh and innovative detailing of spaces.
The Brigade Millennium School
A well-run school commited to high standards of excellence will soon be set up at Brigade Millennium. Brigade Group is currently exploring the possibilities of a partnership in establishing a school with several educational institutions, both from within and outside Karnataka. The school is expected to be operational by the academic year 2004-2005.
3 acres of pure and lasting pleasure
The 3-acre park at Brigade Millennium will soon offer a choice of wonderful spaces for tranquillity and activity: • Tennis court • Japanese garden
• Bandstand • Children’s play area •Jogging tracks • Basketball court
• Amphitheatre / Stadium (Many areas of the park will be floodlit)
Come see our Model Apartment
 |
| Living Room |
For visitors though, the most compelling draw is the model apartment, located on the ground floor. Compact and well-proportioned, measuring 1175 sft, the model apartment represents a typical 2-bedroom apartment in Mayflower Block. It combines specifications found in different apartments at Brigade Millennium—for instance, ceramic tiles in one room, vitrified ceramic tiles in others—so that visitors can imagine how the apartment of their choice may look. Visitors were all praise for the interiors, created by Rajeev of Praxis; a contemporary young designer with an incredible eye for detail and sophisticated flair.
