The flexible workspace phenomenon has spiked the demand for co-working spaces in metropolitan cities in India. However unlike mono-functional and generic office buildings located in CBD’s, these typologies work best in a civic environment, supported by community/ civic institutions offering an ecosystem, wherein individuals can tap into networks of collaborations offered within their immediate neighborhood. Freelancers are no more isolated, small businesses have the flexibility to expand and shrink as required. The focus is to achieve a rich urban environment that could attract a young workforce and keep them motivated.
The Precinct surrounding Sandhurst road rail yard along the eastern edge of Mumbai was selected as the site for intervention. Its connectivity to both Central and Harbor lines and proximity to the Eastern freeway allows for a strategic location. Further, the proposed Eastern Waterfront development, can potentially offer the much needed resource for certain industries to thrive in this area. The studio was interested in the landward side repercussions of such large scale Urban Developments.
