Project Name : The Arcade, Lower Parel

Project Type : Commercial, Industrial & Social Space

Project Area : 26,950 Sq.m

BACKGROUND STUDY

In Mumbai, many abandoned structures are former industrial buildings, predominantly cotton textile mills, which shut down following the Great Bombay Textile Strike of 1982, involving around 250,000 workers and resulting in the closure of over 50 mills. Regulation 58, introduced in 1991, allowed redevelopment of these lands under certain conditions, including allocating portions to the BMC for public spaces and MHADA for housing. However, the focus on profit over affordable housing and public facilities led to ineffective outcomes. Consequently, in 1996, the Maharashtra government, guided by architect Charles Correa, revised the policy to mandate one-thirdofthelandforBMCpublicspaces,1/3rd for MHADA and PSU affordable housing, and the remaining third for development by mill owners.

ABOUT THE SITE

The Sitaram Mill, an abandoned textile mill spanning 30,395 square meters (7.5 acres) in Lower Parel, Mumbai, was previously owned by the National Textile Corporation (NTC) and is now under the jurisdiction of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), with no specific redevelopment plans.

Surrounded by a dense mix of industries, residential, and commercial complexes, the mill has stood for over seventy years. Its external masonry walls and chimney remain relatively undamaged, despite extensive destruction of the interior walls and roof. While the production units for processing, timber framing,&spinningremainintactwithintheirexternalwalls,otherpartsofthemillhavebeencompletely demolished. The enduring stone facade retains its historic charm, evoking a sense of heritage.

SITE

Current Site Condition; Internal walls & slab completely demolished, External walls and Chimney are relatively better (stone: black basalt)

Site Context; Informal settlement adjacent to the site, Skycrapers in front of the site (Lodha Towers), Phoenix Palladium is within 2 km radius, Monorail coonectivity adjacent to the site.

SiteContext; St. Regis and Mahalaxmiracecourseare within3km radius, thecultural heritage dhobi ghat is within 1.5 km radius.

ACCESSIBILITY MAPPING

The land use map shows a diverse urban environment around the site, with predominantly low-income housing,afewupscaleapartments, andamixofcommercial,industrial, andmedicalbuildings.Tothesouth is Mumbai Central Prison. Green spaces are limited but include the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Western Railway Cricket Ground, and a few small gardens scattered among the buildings.

The site is highly accessible, with convenient road and rail connections. It is reachable from the Western Line’s Mahalaxmi and Lower Parel stations, the Central Line’s Chinchpokli station, and the monorail. Additionally, it offers quick access to both the eastern and western expressways via N.M. Joshi Marg and other connecting roads. Nearby railway stations and busstopsmakeiteasytoreachthe site on foot or by bus, enhancing overall accessibility.

LAND USE MAPPING

DESIGN PROCESS

According to Charles Correa’s Mill Report, the site will be divided into three parts:

1. One-third of the sitewill be keptforfuture housing expansion, although this area is not currently part of the development plan due to the potential for skyscraper construction in that location.

2. Another one-third of the site will be allocated for an exhibition space. Only the facade of the existing structure can be restored and reimagined, as the rest of the building is in poor condition.

3. The remaining one-third of the site will be designated for a Food Experience Center. Here, the existing structure will be demolished and replaced with a new building for the Experience Center.

The intersection of the two roads on the site will be transformed into a public plaza. This plaza will serveasaconnectingpointbetweentheExhibitionSpaceandtheFoodExperience Center,enhanced by an Urban Park along the edge of this section of the site.

Site Massing Existing Condition: Structure 2’s facade can be retained with proper restoration and then can be re-purposed as an Exhibition Space.Structure3hastobetakendownbecause currently only one side facade is standing still, rest 3 sides have been dilapidated and cannot be restored. Thus making a new structure altogether for the Food Experience Centre. The space in between these 2 structures can be reimagined as Public Plaza and Urban Park.

Site Massing Option 2: Keeping the Exhibition space same, extending the portal frames of the Exhibition space and connecting it to the cuboidal Food Experience Centre, the members ofthe portal framethus creates a PublicPlazaon the ground and can also be seen as the merging of 2 structures.

SiteMassing Option1: Double Height Exhibition space, using portal frame structural system. Organic shaped Food experience centre, to break the rigid form factor. Central disc acting as bridge between the 2 structures, where users canaccessthediscfromhigherfloorsandbelow the disc, the space can be used a public plaza.

Site Massing Option 3: Keeping the Exhibition space same, extending the portal frames in a curved manner and connecting the cuboidal Food Experience Centre. The New structure is hollow from the middlethereby making space for circulation and the portal frames acting as the pillar for the Public Plaza, this massing creates space for the open public space too.

Site Massing Option 4: Keeping the Exhibition space same, and making a separate entrance pavilion for users to gather & then disperse into Exhibition and Experience Centre. Planned seating space, loading/unloading of raw materials, kitchen space, circulation and service areas too. Connecting lobby space within the structure. Multiple cores for easy accessibility. The space in between the 2 structures act as the publicplazawhichthenconnectstotheentrance pavilion and also to the Urban park.

Interactivespaces, designed to foster community engagement and enhancing daily living experiences, providing areas where residents can connect, relax, and collaborate; enriching the overall community living experience.

Balconies, emphasize seamless indoor-outdoor living, enhancing openness and connection to nature. Thoughtful design transformsthese areas into functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces for relaxation and socializing.

Central core, enhances both structural stability and accessibility by evenly distributing structural loads and providing easy access to staircases and elevators. This design facilitates optimal spatial organization and simplifies maintenance.

Form & Function are prioritized, balancing aesthetics and practicality. The exterior materials showcase the home’s modern style, while the interior layout is designed to meet the everyday needs of the residents.

Site Massing Option 1: Two buildings with evenly distributed units and central light wells, each featuring two cores on opposite sides. A third building houses the remaining units and amenities. All three buildings are connected by bridges, creating a cohesive structure with voids serving as refuge floors.

Site Massing Option 2: Four interconnected buildings, each containing an equal number of units, where voids within the buildings serve as refuge floors, which can also function as community spaces. Additionally, all refuge floors areinterconnectedviathebridges,withamenities housed in a separate building.

Site Massing Option 3: Two L-shaped buildings with an equal number of units and dual cores on both, designed to create a central courtyard for recreation. Voids within the buildings serve as refuge floors, doubling as community spaces. All amenities are housed in a separate building.

Site Massing Option 4: Two L-shaped buildings, each with dual cores and an equal number of units, arranged around a central courtyard for recreation. Voids within the buildings serve as refuge floors, functioning as community spaces as well. All amenities are conveniently located on the ground and first floors, with drop-off access specifically positioned at the first floor level to ensure the central courtyard remains free from vehicular congestion.

Trapezoids when placed one after other, forms a circle. When placed in a group of 3 and then flipped, creates a serpentile form.

Allclassroomsfrom1st-10thareequalinsizeand form, with different internal planning depending on their standards. When squares are placed in a circular pattern unwanted corners get formed.

Modifying the serpentile form further and carving out few spaces for buffer and circulation to get the Final form.
