city.
• The design concept revolves around a typical indian village with narrow galis or
pedestrian streets.
• This has been achieved by a designing a traffic free complex , where the vehicular
traffic is restricted to the periphery and in the basement.
• Gallis converge onto an asymmetrically placed central square , which forms the focus.
It is here that the recreational activities have been placed.

up area.

bedroom respectively.

bedrooms, whereas, flat type
2 has 2. there is a service
entrance from the kitchen,

staircase which leads to the
guest entry.

common shaft, which is
shared by the living room,
kitchen and the bathroom in
one unit.
PEDESTRIANISED PATHWAYS

function beautifully as community spaces.
•They have been broken into levels, given green pockets,
and are so well shaded that one can easily interact with
people without worrying about hot summer.
•Instead of splitting two blocks apart these parks bring the
two together by encouraging people to interact and make
it lively.
•The shape of the built form gives rise to the walkways
between two blocks, which function as streets within the
society.
• The recreational activities are grouped around the central
square. The club is located on the first floor level forming a
bridge across two housing blocks.
• Each flat comprises of a distinct communal and private area with an attached
balcony overlooking the pedestrian street.
