Ten thousand square feet
is not one room
Homes in Kokapet and Neopolis are sold by saleable area, in numbers that keep growing. A diffuser is sized by the air in the rooms you leave open, and the two figures have surprisingly little to do with each other.
The figure on the brochure includes walls, balconies and a share of the lobby. Fragrance only ever meets the air inside one connected room. Measure that.

The answer in 30 seconds
What does a home in this corridor need?
- Forget the saleable area. Measure the internal dimensions of the connected living space, in metres.
- Multiply by the ceiling height. Volume in cubic metres is what a zone device is published against.वायु Vaayu
- Count the doors separately. Every bedroom behind one is a small room of its own.पवन Pawan
- Decide by the measurement. Even when it gives a smaller answer than you expected.
Three numbers, and only one of them matters
Every home in this corridor comes with three sizes. The saleable area, which is the headline. The carpet area, which is smaller and closer to the truth. And the internal size of each room, which nobody quotes. Fragrance cares only about the third, and then only about the rooms that are open to one another. A residence listed at several thousand square feet may have a living, dining and lounge that together are a fraction of that, with the rest divided among bedrooms, bathrooms, corridors, utility rooms and balconies.
The second thing the brochure hides is height. Coverage for a larger machine is published in cubic metres, not square feet, because a room is a volume. Two living rooms with the same floor can differ a good deal once one of them has a higher ceiling. Do not assume the height. Measure it, or ask your builder for the finished floor-to-ceiling figure.
Here is the arithmetic on an imagined room, not on any particular project. A connected living and dining space 12 metres by 7 metres, with a 3.2 metre ceiling, holds about 269 cubic metres. That sits well inside what Vaayu is published for, though the home around it might be sold as a far larger number. The headline size told you nothing useful. The tape measure did.
| From brochure to tape measure | |
|---|---|
| Saleable area | Ignore it. It includes walls, balconies and a share of common areas. |
| Carpet area | Closer, but it is still the whole home, closed rooms included. |
| Connected living space | The one that matters. Internal length by width of everything open to the living room. |
| Ceiling height | Multiply by it to reach cubic metres. Measure it. Do not assume it. |
| Bedrooms | Each its own room. पवन Pawan is published for one suitable room up to about 500 sq ft. |
| A second level | If your home has one, treat it as separate until you have checked how the two connect. |
What a larger home changes, and what it does not
Large homes here tend to have a generous social space and a private wing of bedrooms. The plan that suits most is the same as anywhere else, sized honestly: one zone device for the connected social volume, and one room device for the bedroom you use most. What changes with a larger home is not the strength, which should stay low. It is the temptation to buy more machines than there are rooms you will actually scent.
Both machines take the same SOSA waterless oils, so adding a room later costs you nothing in wasted bottles.

Working it out
- Find the internal dimensions. From the room sizes on the floor plan or from a tape measure. Not from the area statement.
- Convert to metres. One foot is 0.3048 metres.
- Multiply length, width and height. Do it for each connected part and add them together.
- Compare with the published figures. वायु Vaayu, up to 1,000 m³ of a suitable connected zone. पवन Pawan, one suitable room up to about 500 sq ft.
- If you fall between the two, send us the numbers. We would sooner check than have you guess.
- Order for the measurement. Add rooms later, one at a time.

The corridor holds some of the largest residences in the city, in several forms. Listed here are sky residences at My Home 99 and Fortune Sonthalia Sky Villas, a penthouse collection at Skyven, apartments at Prestige Clairmont, Godrej Madison Avenue, My Home Nishada and Brigade Gateway Neopolis, and villas at Rajapushpa Open Skies.
Named as examples of what is built here, not as installations. Sizes, ceiling heights and layouts differ between projects and between units, and a project's price or headline area is not a scenting specification. The plan that matters is your own. SOSA has no affiliation with any of them.
