AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR EWS & LIG GROUP {+} INCREMENTAL HOUSING

LOCATION: Near Muhana Mandi (growing vegetable market and a retail hub), Jaipur SITE AREA: 8.1 acres / 33084 sq.m. / 3.3 hectares F.A.R: 1.5 GROUNDS COVERAGE: 40% DENSITY REQUIRED: 175 DU’S / HECTARE DENSITY ARCHIEVED: 208 DU’S / HECTARE {+}

Family Expansion • The aim of this project was to understand the living conditions of the urban poor and translate it into appropriate housing.

• The design was not restricted by the rules of authority and explores the principles of habitat design, low cost construction techniques and understand the increment of units and community.

A flexible design with the possibility of expansion

QUANTITATIVE • • • • •

Low cost of construction; Affordability for users.

Less investment for builders.

Faster return.

Low carbon emission Use of less resources.

QUALITATIVE • • • • •

Better community spaces.

Better scale of built v/s open (Human Scale).

Pedestrian streets.

Better quality of living.

More secure.

SOLUTIONS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING: LOCATION:

WITHIN THE CITY • Land is expensive.

• Travel distance between home and workspace is low or negligible.

• Providing mixed land use offsets the cost.

PERIPHERY OF CITY • Land is cheaper.

• Travel distance between home and workplace is high.

DISTANCE OF AMENITIES:

<5 km

Play school, Community Centre, Bus stops, Places for worship etc.

Distance of amenities from housing (in km)

• The design has 4 typologies. Each typology is a cluster of 1BHK or studio apartment.

• On site planning level all these typologies cluster to form a several rectangular courtyards (giving residents usable open space and a friendly neighbourhood).

• These courtyards are green zones which acts as a puncture between dense constructed mass and reduces heat island effect.

SITE PLANNING

• At road level the clusters are placed such that they have visual connectivity, creating a safe enviroment for the residents.

• An intermediate street have been formed betwwen built masses orienting E-W to cater the service line laid out there and to support 2-wheeler parking of the residents.

• This back street holds the potential for cross-ventilation, parking for 2-wheelers and services of all the dwelling units.

STANDARDS: 40-45% ACHIEVED: 46% • All the DU’s are clustered so that they create a ‘central open space’.

Pavement

STANDARDS: 10-15% ACHIEVED: 17% • To increase the usable open space for the community the circulation area should be reduced to minimum.The layout is designed on this principle.

Usable Open Space

STANDARDS: 10-15% ACHIEVED: 17% • The courtyards and the streets have a scale which ensures that it remain shaded for most part of the day. It enables its use even during day time.

Parking+Misc.

STANDARDS: 10% ACHIEVED: 3%

PRODUCED BY AN A

Road STANDARDS: 20-25% ACHIEVED: 17% • Roads have been kept to minimum possible so that more area could be provided to paving and usable open space.
