Integrated Township DBH, Raipur

Raising the bar: The project aims to set an example for the development of an integrated eco-township setting the standard for such developments in Tier II cities. The location poses a challenge, given that the Raipur Airport runway is only 1.5 kms away and there is no intermediate noise buffer in between. Also, the site slopes towards the North-West with a difference of 13 metres from the highest to the lowest point. Passive strategy: There are a number of interesting natural features on the site- a lake, canal and nullahs. The aim is to preserve and enhance these features, minimizing cut and fill of the land. Eco-Fingers provide a safe public transport corridor used for community activities, pedestrian and cyclist movement. Cycling tracks improve slow mode transport and provide an alternate transport system along the major movement axis.

Micro Neighbourhoods: Dedicated entry and exit with no thoroughfare vehicular traffic creates a feeling of community, safety and exclusivity. All community facilities are centrally located so that they lie within 5 to 15 minutes walking distance from all areas of the township. The commercial zone lies facing the highway and not only creates high-visibility and imageability for the project, but also acts as a noise buffer, shielding the township from the airport across the road.

Villas in Siolim, Goa

Conserving the existing natural features: The project is based in Siolim, a village in Goa, situated around the Chapora River. Being located around the river makes this an extremely challenging project and a great location for the design of residential villas.

Environmental considerations & outdoor living: These were the key determinants of the master plan and villa design. To enhance and optimally utilise the vegetation on site, certain significant axes are formed to optimize and achieve the best views throughout the site. The site has been divided into 14 plots each of which has a unique design and layout, to ensure best views from each plot. Villa locations and re-contouring is maintained in order to retain the maximum number of existing trees and ensure that the landscape merges between the plots.

Each villa is a sculptural object: Due to the large expanse of land, immense foreground on site and a relatively low built volume, the design approach is to create each villa as a single sculptural object using horizontal planes to climatically screen and shade the built volume. The planes are offset from the building to create wind scoops that help channelize the wind into the building. The roof plane and the building skin are significant design features that respond to the climate and enhance the house as a sculptural object.

Sustaining the dynamic processes of life and growth: One of the most worrying issues confronting the developing world, where massive population movements generate disordered growth, is to find a more sustainable model of development for its towns and cities. Much of the present urban planning and architecture continues to be ecologically unviable, culturally unsympathetic, and visibly incapable of sustaining the dynamic processes of life and growth. On one hand, provision of good infrastructure is a major issue while on the other, preservation of values, craft, and cultures becomes a challenge.

To keep development costs low, the main strategy was to respect the natural topography of the site and to use it for an integrated surface drainage system. By precisely calculating the correct slopes of roads and using existing natural streams, costs were saved in expensive underground piping networks. As a result more capital could be allocated to creating a secure and high quality infrastructure for each cluster.

Gran Carmen, Bengaluru

Built form as a result of climatic concerns: The Gran Carmen, Bengaluru, is a villa development located in Bengaluru on a 14 acre site in the outskirts of the city. The project’s objective is to develop a new prototype for villas in Bengaluru as an entity to address issues of liveability, spatial configuration, environmental and social issues. The built form and morphology has been derived as a result of climatic studies, which have helped in the detailing of the building skin and the landscape, which is a crucial part of the development.

Optimizing for pedestrian and green spaces: The spatial planning is generated by creating a pedestrian field for villas in the centre of the site by isolating all vehicular movement to the basement. The pedestrian field is then laid out with recreational areas and green spaces which become community areas for the residents. The villa designs have evolved to the best of functionality of spaces with a segregation of public and personal areas. As per the development control norms, basement parking is contained within the building periphery, dictating the configuration of the basement development in the form of interconnected linear strips which helps in keeping the parking in a personal parking format.

ITC Mixed-Use Development, Kolkata

Location, Context and Brief: This project site sits on the periphery of Kolkata in an area which is being developed to deal with the pressures of the highly dense and urbanized city. The Campus includes various components- Hotel and Convention Centre, Residential, Offices, IT Park & Knowledge Centre.

Design inspiration: Kolkata has a very strong cultural heritage: the Bengali script is very rich, art, tradition of sculpture to date remain vibrant components of Bengali culture. One of the primary decisions taken very early on was to use the Bengali cultural context as the primary guiding principle of design.

Environmental Analysis: The extremely warm and humid climate is the key issue in Kolkata. A thorough climate analysis, particularly around wind-flows, defined the generation of our own microclimate on the site using passive mechanisms. With the predominant wind direction being northsouth, it defined the location of the pedestrian spine running through the middle of the site. This central spine is the primary source of interaction between various components of this highly permeable site. The spine is articulated as an open air museum with sculptures, and various sorts of art installations, which will then act as a central interaction platform for all users on the site.

Iconicism of Sustainability: The client brief was simply- to create the world’s most sustainable office building. The challenge is enormous - to consider Sustainability in its broadest sense, not just about conservation of water, energy and resources, but of tectonic perfection, of the detail, the process, and the wisdom of a thousand years of architecture of the region.

A prototype for innovation in the design of sustainable workplaces: The plan evolved from the notion of understanding the capacity of the site; a capacity determined by four functions- energy, water, geology of the land, along with essential rules of urban design pertaining to light, ventilation, shading, etc. A remarkable envelope design along with orienting the blocks at ± 22.5 degrees to the North (in response to the solar orientation) allows for 100% shading of all windows and walls. 90% of all floor plate areas will be uniformly day-lit and glare-free.

Client: Shrachi Bardhaman Developers Status: Under construction Size: 254 acres

The Renaissance Township, Bardhaman

Site planning optimizing the green areas: The site lacked consolidated green spaces and had a dense built-up area. The site plan for the project was designed in a way to optimize the existing green spaces and help the residential blocks achieve extensive green area. Therefore, the strategy for the project has been to design the housing blocks around a central green area; stilts on the ground floor level allow the greens to appear to flow through the building. The community spaces have also been integrated with central greens and certain surprise pockets of greens have been designed between the dense massing as relief.

Effective Space Utilization: The individual units have been designed to utilize the space effectively and efficiently minimizing circulation space and each room is provided with cross ventilation and ample natural light. The balconies are designed to be recessed in order to allow for their maximum usage during summer. The bedrooms have been equipped with randomly placed full-height cantilevered window elements which serve as an additional breather.

Environmental Strategy: After careful shadow-analysis, the housing blocks have been preferred to be placed in the North-South orientation in order to reduce heat gain and maximize shading. The orientation of the housing blocks has been such that they provide for mutual shading during the extreme summer months.

Atlanta Citi, Suvali, Gujarat

A zero-energy entertainment destination: Located on the Arabian Sea coast, the township is planned to be an upcoming zero-energy entertainment destination including villas, apartments, a luxury hotel, other entertainment zones and an amusement & water park.

Respecting the natural topography: The master plan concept is to create a development which respects and follows the natural features and topography of the site due to close proximity of the neighbouring ecosystems. Between the sunny land and the windy Arabian Sea are varied, localized, barren-land strips which are utilized by the project to create its own ecosystem. The design evolves into the development, strip-by-strip on the existing central East-West axis. The axis cuts the development into two halves: the northern private zone which houses the villas/apartments and the southern public zone where the entertainment facilities and tourist accommodation are located.

Amalgamation of landscape and built form: Each one of these urban or natural zones derives its landscape from the environment on which it emerges.

Desert Habitat, Dubai

Township inspired from Indian Tradition & Culture: The brief required the project to be a mixed use township with a design concept that took its inspirations from Indian traditions and culture. The project was designed as the largest net-zero on-site development, with net zero carbon footprint, 80% save in energy consumption, 125 acres of self-sufficient natural landscape by Xeriscaping using recycled water, 3kms long continuous self-sustainable eco-channel, and largest uninterrupted pedestrian precinct within the site of 500 acres.

The design maintains the hierarchy of public greens with peripheral vehicular movement. The project has a 3.5km central pedestrian spine which facilitates integrated living for the people. This network connects residential areas with work, entertainment, sport, culture and recreational spaces within 5-20 min walking distance.

The project was one of three finalists for this international design competition.

Paras Tierea City, Greater Noida

City Masterplan in the NCR Suburbs: The masterplan for this large-scale city development in Greater Noida in the suburbs of NCR is situated off the Yamuna Expressway, with prime access from the Expressway itself. Four other entrances lead in to the development from the 45m wide road abutting the site on the other sides. Two stretches of 15m wide roads form the main circulation rib within the development. The 9m wide arterial roads taking off from the 15m wide road provide access to the individual plots. Apart from residential development, the masterplan also incorporates retail, institutional and commercial components.

Plotted Development with Green Spaces: 8 types of plots are available for the residential design, along with a green area. The site is planned in a manner that the Green spaces are interspersed all through the Residential network, with more than 10% of the total site area being dedicated to the green spaces (in the form of Backyard green- Large interconnected green area flanking the backyard of the plots, Commercial green and Institutional green). The plots are planned in a manner that the green area in the plot spills out to a consolidated green area in the back yard. This enables an easy access to the green spaces without crossing any vehicular roads and also ensures a view of the larger green from the living area of each house.

Client: Piramal Fund ManagementStatus: In progressSize: 19 acres

Umaid Bhawan Palace Foothills, Jodhpur

A Luxury residential development: The 19 acre site for these luxury villas belongs to the royal family. The proposal intends to maximize the potential value of the site and intends to provide each villa with an unobstructed view of the Palace. Although designed to target the elite group, the intent was to also connect to the local community to preserve the traditional Rajasthani character, while advocating contemporary design concepts.

Imbibing the rich cutural heritage within the built form: The master plan is designed to reflect the Rajasthani cultural heritage in the courtyards and the external finishes are an amalgamation of local art and intricate carvings on stone, with straight-line formation of the architecture. The built mass of the villas have been designed on basis of three volumes to create variations in functions, materials, and spaces where the living spaces are segregated from the circulation areas.

Integrating traditional features with contemporary architecture: The integration of the traditional ‘Jaali’ in the design acts as a double skin and a thermal buffer, allowing diffused light to enter the villas through the perforations. Hence, the Jaali not only protects the built volumes from the harsh environment, but also serves as a traditional design element blending into the contemporary built form.

Client: Woodside Developments Pvt. Ltd. Status: Under construction Size: 1,25,000 sq ft | 12 acres

The Woodside, Kasauli

A resort in the hills: The site is a highly contoured land with level differences of about 100 m within the site. The neighbourhood is predominantly used for agriculture and vegetation, hence the site exists within a vast green, mountainous landscape. The project brief called for the construction of an exclusive, high-end residential development comprising of 37 cottages of four types based on design, size and location within the site, and other integrated common facilities at varying heights.

Integration of site planning with natural landscape: Layering of the base principles of circulation (existing and proposed), public amenities and the slope, led to the development of the site plan. The cottages and the internal road networks have been strategically placed in order to minimize the intervention through cutting and filling of the natural terrain of the region, whilst retaining the maximum of the existing vegetation and contours as undisturbed.

Orientation of cottages as per views and climate: Cottages are positioned on the slope in a manner that ensures unobstructed panoramic views of the scenic hills of the Shimla valley; the largest ones enjoy the farthest view. This is achieved by maintaining a minimum height difference between the roof level of each cottage and the ground level of the preceding cottage uphill.
