LINQ by Raghava Floor Plans

What Is Inside Every LINQ by Raghava Apartment

Room-schedule analysis of the floor plates shows a consistent internal programme across all sizes: three bedrooms, three toilets, one kitchen, one utility, one puja room, one drawing room, one living-and-dining bay, and between one and three decks depending on size. The bedroom naming on the plates runs M. Bedroom 01, M. Bedroom 02 and M. Bedroom 03 — three full-size bedrooms rather than two bedrooms plus a nominal third. Toilets are consistent across the range, with a master toilet of roughly five feet eleven inches by nine feet and two secondary toilets at five by eight.

What the comparison actually shows

The three bedrooms are near-identical in size on the smaller plates. On the 1,798 they measure roughly 12.3, 12.7 and 13.3 square metres — the largest only eight per cent bigger than the smallest, and the nominal master is not even the biggest room. The standard Indian 3 BHK gives one generous master and two noticeably smaller secondary rooms, often with the third barely qualifying. For a household with two children, or with live-in parents, three equal bedrooms is a materially more useful arrangement than one large room and two compromises.

Extra area buys living space, not bedroom space. Moving from 1,798 to 2,388 sq.ft adds 590 sq.ft, and the bedrooms absorb very little of it — the second bedroom is identical at eleven feet ten inches by twelve feet one inch on both the 2,284 and the 2,388. What grows is the living-and-dining bay, from nineteen feet seven inches to twenty-five feet eleven, a third longer, and deepening from ten feet six inches to twelve feet. If you want bigger bedrooms, the larger plates are not the answer; if you entertain, they are.

The east-facing large formats are a different plan, not a stretched one. The 2,284 and 2,388 run a galley kitchen at thirteen feet five inches by seven feet ten instead of the square kitchen of the entry plate, gain a dresser off the master, and — on the 2,388 alone — a dedicated storage room. Dedicated storage is rare in Indian apartment planning and genuinely useful. The 2,388 also carries a deck of roughly twenty-four feet five inches running the length of the living-and-dining wall: a terrace rather than a balcony, and the single most distinctive feature in the range.

Tower D's north-facing plate is the outlier in a good way. The 2,044 sq.ft D04 has three decks, the deepest second bedroom in the project at fourteen feet five inches, and the only kitchen that is both wide and deep. With seven homes per floor rather than ten, it is the most private plate in the project — and there is exactly one per floor. At the other end, the 1,855 is the value-efficient plate: essentially the same bedroom dimensions as the 1,798 with a longer living-dining bay and a larger deck for 57 sq.ft more, trading off the smallest kitchen in the range.

The drawing room is the differentiator

Every LINQ apartment has a drawing room in addition to the living-and-dining bay. This is standard Hyderabad large-format planning and it changes how the area functions. A visitor is received and entertained in the drawing room; the living-and-dining space stays a family space. The two are separately addressed off the entry, so household life is not on display to guests. For buyers cross-shopping against Bengaluru, Pune or Chennai projects, this is the detail that makes super built-up comparison misleading — a 1,798 sq.ft LINQ home and a 1,798 sq.ft Bengaluru home are not the same product, because the LINQ plate assigns area to a room the other simply does not have.

Carpet area versus super built-up area

Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act the promoter must state carpet area — the net usable floor area within the walls of the apartment, excluding external walls, service shafts, balcony and verandah area, and open terrace. Super built-up area adds the apartment's proportionate share of common areas: lobbies, corridors, staircases, lift shafts, amenity space and services. At LINQ, carpet runs at approximately 72 per cent of super built-up across the range, implying a loading of about 28 per cent.

A 28 per cent loading on a 58-storey tower with 2.15 metre corridors, multiple lift banks per core, fire lobbies, sky bridges and a rooftop amenity crown is reasonable. Tall buildings carry structurally more common area than low-rise ones — more lift shafts, more fire-refuge provision, more services risers — and a loading materially below this on a comparable tower would be worth questioning rather than celebrating. The practical guidance is that price comparisons across projects must be made on the same basis: a ₹9,000 per sq.ft super built-up rate at 72 per cent efficiency is about ₹12,500 per sq.ft of carpet. Ask every competing project for its carpet figure and compute the carpet rate before concluding which is cheaper.

Circulation, core design and choosing a unit

Corridors are specified at 2.15 metres wide across all four towers. This is generous for residential construction and does two jobs: it makes the daily walk from lift to door feel like a hotel corridor rather than a service passage, and it provides fire-egress capacity appropriate to a building of this height. Each tower carries multiple lift banks plus a dedicated fire lift and fire lobby. Towers A, B and C serve ten homes per floor from two lift banks; Tower D serves seven from three lifts, so on lift-share alone Tower D offers the best ratio in the project.

If you want the lowest entry price, look at the 1,798 sq.ft west-facing plates in Towers A, B and C, on a floor below the sixth to avoid floor-rise loading entirely. If you want the best light and the premium view planes, look east — the east flank carries all the large formats and, on upper floors, the longer sight lines. If you want privacy and the least lift-sharing, look at Tower D. If you want something genuinely scarce, D04 is the only north-facing plate in the project. If you want maximum deck area, take the 2,284 and 2,388 sq.ft east-facing formats in Towers A and B. And if you are cost-sensitive about altitude, remember that floor rise runs at ₹25 per sq.ft per floor from the sixth level — a fortieth-floor home carries ₹875 per sq.ft more than a fifth-floor equivalent, roughly ₹17 lakh on a 1,952 sq.ft plate.

Verifying your layout

Unit codes such as A07 or D04 describe a position on the plate, not a legal identity. Before booking, match your shortlisted unit code to the sanctioned drawings rather than the marketing booklet, confirm the carpet area for your specific unit in writing since that is the governed number, check the facing designation against the site plan and the north arrow rather than the sales pitch, confirm which premiums apply to your unit and get each itemised on a dated and signed cost sheet, and verify the deck count and deck area for your specific plate. Two apartments of identical super built-up area in this project can differ by tens of lakhs depending on floor, facing and corner status. The cost sheet, not the floor plan, is the document that tells you what you are actually buying.
