The Lanes Connecting Cincinnati Riverfront with Downtown

Revitilizing the fourteen blocks and intermediate streets between the two stadiums by introducing mix use - entertainment centric design. Focus on sports tourism , tailgating and river festivals as revenue generating mechanisms to support the development.

The Lanes Connecting Cincinnati Riverfront with Downtown

3 Strategies for to foster successful micro-urban environment

Pave the Lanes

Paving the interstate - Capping the Fort Washington Way and use it for supporting community needs and develop synergy of the discussed development.

Extend the Lanes

Extend the urban fabric with a continuation - Creating a large residential mass and amenities such as Roebling Walk and Cincy Cinemas activating

the site across all seasons

Maintain the Lanes

Maintain the Banks by creating a Cistern capturing 2 million Gallons of Water & creation of permeable surfaces.

Turf parking for taigating zones allowing the ground to absorb water

PROJECT OVERVIEW 2014

Affordable Housing

for the Developing Class

Affordable Housing for the Developing Class Providing a range of residential configuration options to the rural Migrants in Urban India

The site is located in a dense suburban context

The design focuses on creating a habitable environment. The buildings are placed to create a common community space. Three clusters and their open spaces, open up to the green patch - with abundunt greencover. The decision was taken to retain the existing trees on site . There is an attempt to locate all the terraces towards this green area - which would house all major outdoor recreation spaces, for all agegroups. The dwelling units stagger ,to form terraces for each residential unit. These, provide scope for spilling activities outdoors, as well as a scope for future expansions. Developing Housing as a Social Process - constantly in transformation yet rooted in its timelessness. The Housing Blocks have been arranged to provide easy visual and physical proximity between adjacent and neighbourhood units. A herirarcchy of open spaces has been achieved in terms of residential balconies connecting strongly to the neighbourhood level open space which eventually opens upto into a small forest like space, which holds an ancient well and a temple. Certain communal and physiographical traits of the site have been retained.

‘faliyu’ or Garden Located in the heart of a thriving Industrial area, in Ahmedabad and in proximity to a major landfill the building demanded being closed down from all sides and spaces being inward looking.

An office for a staff of 30 people, The building had to be constructed, completed within a time frame of three months, including the interiors. A challenging task, for the project brief clearly mentioned to deliver the building within the given time frame. Focus, during the course, remained on efficient execution rather than innovation or experimentation in terms of design. We made the architectural spatial organization as efficient and execution friendly
