III. AIR CIRCULATION

Low Rise Cluster Design

The design consists of two types of clusters. Both the clusters are designed using a 3 x 3-meter grid. All the units in the cluster have a balcony or a courtyard attached along with a space to expand in the future. Both the clusters consist of 1 - BHK (bedroom, hall & kitchen), 2 - BHK and 3 - BHK apartments. Cluster - I is a combination of module type I apartment units. Whereas, cluster - II is a combination of module types two, three and four. Cluster - I is a two-storey block and on the other hand cluster - II is a three-storey block.

Mid Rise Cluster Design

The mid-rise cluster is six storeys tall and houses 1 - BHK, 2 - BHK as well as 1 - RK (Room, Kitchen). The exploded axon below shows the interlocking pattern of their units. Certain room inside the units are raised above or/and pulled down half a floor in height. This helps in achieving greater movement of air inside a unit as well as saves area. The diagram below showcases different colours for different apartment types in both the plan as well as elevation.
