The client’s requirement was to build a special housing complex for senior citizens on the plot while retaining an existing bungalow. The site has a slope down from the access road thus offering a valley view.
To deal with the slope and make all the built areas accessible to the elders with suitable ramps was a challenge. On the rear side, the highway is at a distance of 150 m, so sound pollution due to traffic is to be taken care of.
The site had many existing trees and a large bungalow to be retained. Therefore, to retain the trees, a ‘C’ shape is evolved thus encompassing the trees and incorporating them into a central garden. Smaller courtyards are designed within the building to facilitate interaction between the residents. Maximum number of apartments get the view either of proposed garden or hill slopes. To break the monotony of long passages, small lobbies are introduced for each cluster. To avoid the noise of moving vehicles, double walling is proposed to achieve sound insulation in some cases. Common amenities are proposed in the basement facing the rear side to get the maximum view of hill slopes.
A variety of units (105 nos.) two-room, one & two-bedroom units are designed. Existing bungalow is used as lounge and display home. Covered swimming pool is accommodated in basement on rear side.
All areas are wheel chair accessible either by lift or ramp. All toilets are specially designed for wheel chair accessibility. The landscaped terrace equipped with kiosks, is an added amenity.
The campus is designed as a green building campus, with following factors incorporated in the design and construction process the objectives achieved are to reduce pollution & land development impacts, conserve existing natural areas, reduce site disturbance, minimizing parking lots, reduce pollution & land development impacts, conserve existing natural areas, reduce site disturbance. The building orientation and shape is such that day lighting is maximized and existing trees are protected. Recycling of water is implemented through Sewage treatment plant and water reused for flushing and for landscaped areas.
