A place where people from different age groups come to interact, work, and relax. Sharing insights and experiences are the start of ideas and this neighborhood center is all for it. Different programmes are spread and arranged to keep the complete site busy throughout the day.

Ground floor activity plan Semester 5 Studio

To break the social gap between different programmes on the site appropriate activities were introduced in the buffer space, which both user groups would keenly be interested in. Between the clubhouse and office, a basketball court and other sports activities were added as both the user groups are mainly young adults. And between the office and the auditorium, a restaurant and library was designed to encourage interaction between different groups of people
