KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA | RESIDENTIAL | 300 ACRES | 2020

Positioned along Tabuk province’s Red Sea coast, near Neom Bay International Airport, the site offers a prime canvas for visionary design. At its core, the design ethos centers on crafting a dynamic, eco-conscious, and easily navigable urban hub. A car-free central axis serves as the nucleus, fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment. The masterplan strategically maximizes ocean vistas, complemented by green corridors that encourage natural airflow and microclimates. Seaside residences are thoughtfully oriented to embrace sweeping ocean views, while communal spaces and amenities anchor the periphery.

ABB Industrial Campus04Redevelopment

FARIDABAD, NCR, INDIA | INDUSTRIAL | 8.3 ACRES | 2022

The site is located within the NCR, and houses the offices, and warehouses, for ABB.

The design focus on creating a designated area for employee, vehicles, and trucks. The concept features segregated entry and exit points for trucks, employee four-wheelers, two-wheelers, and pedestrians. An MLCP is proposed near the amenity block, and employees’ vehicles can access this space via a separate entry gate to avoid traffic congestion between trucks and vehicles.

Measures to improve legibility of entry zone and gates. Placemaking measures can aid in creating an employee centric campus. Employee hangout places and amenities can make the campus vibrant and inclusive.

Central Plaza

A central plaza can be developed as the heart of campus enriched by employee engagement zones away from the truck movement.

MLCP

The benefits of proposing MLCP away from the central zones are several including increasing green recreational zones within the campus.

Separate Entry gate

There are two separate entry gates for employees, one exclusively for vehicles and another one exclusively for pedestrian entry.

Vehicular Movement

Entry 3 caters to vehicular movement, segregated from other modes.

An MLCP (22mX38.5m) of two levels with stack parking on each floor is proposed near the amenity block to avoid traffic congestion between trucks and vehicles and can accommodate nearly 70 cars.

Truck Movement

The one-way truck movement along a 6.5m wide concrete road enables smooth movement across the truck zone.

Designated truck drivers’ recreation space is provided in proximity to the warehouse, such that it creates clear segregation in user permeability.

Commercial Campus

The proposed site is strategically located in the city of Bengaluru and the design emphasizes the achievement of optimal efficiency for the site while maintaining the quality of spaces, thereby creating a premier work environment. To achieve this, extensive local and international benchmarking studies were conducted to evaluate and determine the most effective solution for the development.

The final masterplan was derived through a rigorous process of design iterations and workshops, during which a streamlined access and movement strategy and building massing was developed without compromising the active landscape program.
