AD 01 bungalow MR. gelda residence Pune, INDIA CONCEPTUAL APPROACH: The design process began with massing the whole structure. Segregating spaces on different levels and vertical zoning of private and semi-private areas. Accommodating the required parking was a little challenging considering the amount of space available.
A freelance project currently ongoing (march 2015) is a a design of a luxurious bungalow, design for mr.gautam gelda on satara road, pune. with a built up afrea of about 400sqmt on a 380sq.mt the house is designed for a single family. project requirements: -living, dining and kitchen. - 4 bedrooms - entertainment room. - gymnasium - incorporation of a lot of green areas.
THE SITE: The site is located in the heart of Pune city, in bungalow society complex. The client wanted the design to be modern and different than other bungalows in the vicinity.
The massing of the structure is derived through a cuboid by adding and subtracting areas to form double and triple height spaces inside the bungalow. this also helps in connecting spaces vertically, which makes communication within the house easy.
PARKING LVL -1.M PLANNING: The planning process began mainly with working out vertical and horizontal circulation patterns. The staircase and lift core was placed on the southern side of the plot and the north and eastern sides were opened up to bring in light. The idea was to keep the interior spaces as open as possible. All the common areas of the house are designed in a way that they can look into each other.
GROUND FLOOR LVL +1.8.M
The house is mainly divided in to 5 Levels. The parking spaces have been carved out by designing a partial basement and lifting the ground floor by 1.8M Two sides of the site were filled, to raise the ground and connect it to the elevated ground floor.
FIRST FLOOR LVL +5.8.M
SECOND FLOOR LVL +8.8.M
ZONING: A traditional Indian method is used for the initial planning of the house. The idea was to make spaces flow into each other. A basic grid was established to place the structural members and thus makes interior spaces spacious and clear.

fl 02 facade design revamping a commercial facade Pune, INDIA CONCEPTUAL PLANNING: The design process began with analyzing the exiting planning of the building. Which was followed by making alterations in the planning to carve out green areas and interaction nodes. And also try to make them the part of the facade of the building.
the brief was to redesign the facade of a commercial building, which is getting reconstructed after a fallout in the construction process a few years back. after the rapid urbanisation of wiman Nagar in the past few years the proposed commercial complex had to be re-designed along with some additions in the requirements. the challenge was to carve out some green areas and interactive nodes throughout the office spaces.
Clients were looking for modern facade treatment to be done to the building since it is located in a prime location. Surrounded with Wiman nagar, Airport road on one side and Pune-Ahmednagar highway on the other the southern and the eastern elevations had to be thought in way that the building would stand out from a distance.

CLIMATICAL ANALYSIS: A detailed climatic analysis was done to understand various factors affecting the facade of the building. Creating sufficient voids for natural ventilation and using a translucent material for penetration of natural light to form a comfortable working environment.
PROPOSED FACADE: The proposed envelope of the building is a composition 3 materials, a skin of perforated zinc sheets, granite stone cladding and glass. These matrials are used in a way to create effective climatic response and also to look aesthetically sound.
PROPOSED NORTH SIDE ELEVATION.
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM: The existing structure of the building was not designed to hold a heavy skin proposed in the new design. Hence, a separate structural system had to be derived to hold zinc panelling which will be attached to the existing structure of the building.
FLOOR PLAN: The proposed floor plan has 4 offices on each floor. With each office space having a small garden area. A common interactive area is proposed on the east side of the building marked in red in the plan below.

SCHEMATIC SITE PLANNING: The existing winery is partially demolished and the new winery is proposed in the same area(since it’s the highest point on the site, which can be used to create levels for the THE GRAVITY FLOW WINERY) along with addition of other facilities. The guest vehicular circulation is separated from industrial vehicular circulation.

To understand the process of wine making with respect to the current scenario of the wine market in India. Analyze the site (Château Indage) keeping in mind it’s heritage value since its the first winery to established India. Analyze the consumption of energy and other resources during the process of making wine. ( especially in a winery) To come up with design solution for a new type winery, which consumes less energy for production of wine, called Gravity Flow Winery (gravity flow wine-making is an ancestral process of making wine.)

CONCEPTUAL APPROACH (STRUCTURAL SYSTEM): To understand and study the structure of a grape bunch, to evolve a structural system for the winery structure based on similar geometry and proportions. Considering factors like: Large spans, site conditions, climate and functional efficiency (gravity flow).
Incorporate this structural system in the section since it’s a gravity flow winery, to form a consistent roofing system which covers the structure.
PLANNING: The winery is mainly divided into 3 main levels as per the need on wine making process, and other facilities are accommodated around the main winery building. The guest circulation is segregated from the industrial circulation by separating the respective entries on different
3
level. Guests visiting the winery aren’t allowed to enter the industrial area, but can have a look at the whole wine making process through corridors provided on each level. The wine making process starts on the top most level and continues till the bottom most level.

ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE: While trying to come up with a intricate and complex structural system, the idea is to keep the elevation of the structure really simple and minimal which will help the building camouflage with the site surroundings. preserving the heritage of the EXISTING WINERY BUILDING: Ch창teau Indage was the first winery to be established in India, the facade of this winery depicts Spanish classical style of architecture, built in basalt stone.
The proposed winery building will portray modern style of architecture contradicting the classical style of the existing facade, but the materials used for the new structure will make it blend the existing site scenario and not make it look extrinsic.

Elevation The proposed elevation for the winery campus camouflages the structures with the vineyards in the front and the hill behind it. `
Solar Roof: The roof of the winery has been designed considering proper angles to set up solar panels.
Rainwater harvesting: Water is an important factor in the process of wine-making. The slope and form of the roof are designed to harvest the maximum amount of rain water. This water can be treated and used for washing and cleaning purpose.
Wooden Fins: Since the whole structure faces southwest, these fins act as a buffer for the heat to directly reach the building.
Aging Cellar: The aging cellar is placed under the ground, since it requires a cooler place for storage and reduce artificial cooling.
Structural System: Concrete is used only in the basement to support the steel structural system on the floors above.

study of Rasta Peth, old city.
RASTA PETH
Pune, INDIA
MUTHA RIVER
OLD PUNE CITY AREA
INTRODUCTION TO THE AREA OF STUDY : The area of study in Rasta Peth is bounded the King Edward memorial hospital to the West and the important thoroughfare of Wellesley road to the East.
a project taken up with a group of 6 students, to study the urban fabric of a part old Pune city, rasta peth. the aim was documenting the whole area considering all aspects of urban planning to the architectural character around king Edward memorial hospital and then critically analyze different development factors causing the loss of the heritage value of this area. the main objective of the study was to develop different policies to control haphazard growth and demonstrate future growth of the area.
CHARACTERISTICS OF DEVELOPMENT : Development in this area has a very vibrant pattern due to the juxtaposition of the new with the old. POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS: As this area lies on the conjunction of the old city and the cantonment, people of a variety of religions, creeds and sects reside in this area.
BUILT-MASS DENSITY: An overall sparse density is observed in the area. This difference in the density of the built mass, acts as a strength. The varied built mass has led to new development. This development has an impact on the existing old structures, by disturbing the accessibility, character of the street and living conditions.
HIERARCHY OF OPEN SPACES: The area opposite K.E.M is the Shahu Udyaan area which the only designated open space of the area under studies as well the adjoining sectors. Open spaces act like breathing pockets of overly dense fabrics. Many other open spaces currently private or government owned are seen in the area, which contribute to form green pockets of the area and city at large.
