ABSTRACT With growing population, Urbanisation and immigration, availability of affordable homes has become an acute and pervasive problem, largely affecting millennials amongst other demographic groups. The report is a master thesis concerning the design of affordable Urban Co housing situated in Raipur, India. The design is based on different parameters of Indian community led housing styles over the years which is integrated throughout the problem statement, analysis, design and conclusion. The main idea of the project is Co living that is measured by belongingness, social participation and Urban integration in the final design. Urban Co housing reflects the aspects of Sub Urban co housing by centring dwellings around communities to encourage social participation among youth. Designing dwellings for different user segment bridges the needs and priorities from which a harmony is achieved. The main objectives of the project is thereby summarised by integrating the qualities of sub Urban co housing in an Urban setting with maximum community satisfaction whilst creating inspirational living spaces in terms of functionality, comfort and accessibility.
BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION India is home to the largest millennial population in the world, comprising of approximately 34% of the country’s total population, with majority of its metro cities bursting at their seams due to the Increasing rate of immigrants in search of employment opportunities. In the current housing crisis, there are only two systems that can fix the problem: people can be encouraged to live smaller or share spaces. There have been attempts to indulge with creative possibilities to accommodate the vast population in a limited space, encouraging people to live smaller. This was often addressed by building smaller apartments of lower quality, quickly and cheap, resulting in a housing stock with low architectural qualities, thereby impacting the life of the occupants. Co living as an accommodation alternative, is in a unique position to overcome majority of these challenges that traditional housing fails to acknowledge. The young demographic demands a more experiential and community driven lifestyle and are willing to share amenities for reduced tariffs to create a collaborative relationship. In a bid to narrow the gap of housing affordability whilst ensuring a basic standard of life, the traditional housing concept needs major design interventions. Addressing to the needs and limitations of this demographic, the idea of shared spaces needs to be fully explored and implemented in the Indian housing market, not only to provide a basic living standard but to ensure social and economic satisfaction without hampering their quality of life.
URBAN CO HOUSING
WHAT? Different types of Community led dwellings have challenged the way people share and inhabit space through the past century. However, within the co living model there lies unfamiliar set of dynamics that are responsible for its successful application in the Urban environment. This research aims to determine such dynamics that facilitate the growth of the co living model in the current housing situation of India, as well as how a community oriented design create a positive impact in its inhabitants.
TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY SATISFACTION
PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR THE URBAN YOUTH
HOW? OBJECTIVES
The thesis will take shape by reviewing historical precedents, qualitative case studies of existing community driven designs and user surveys of the targeted demographic to establish their needs and preferences.
WHERE? Raipur as a city has abundance of opportunities in terms of education and jobs. It is the up and coming hub attracting the Youth from across the country. The project will focus on a site within Shankar Nagar, strategically placed to offer major opportunities to the youth in terms of education, jobs, social and recreational engagements. The site is surrounded by commercial, residential, as well as Public buildings offering rich cultural and economic backdrop to its inhabitants.
WHO? The target demographic is aged between 18-35 years, including students, job seekers, digital nomads, working professionals as well as couples. The project aims to understand the priorities of specific user groups with the help of survey and research to provide design interventions

ADAPT QUALITIES OF SUB URBAN CO HOUSING INTO AN URBAN CO HOUSING
PROBLEM STATEMENT People migrating to cities mostly constitutes of a younger population or fresh graduates looking for work, out of whom, an estimated 40% are freelancers, remote or project based, who are not looking to settle down and are always on the go.
PRESENT SITUATION SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT
A significant proportion of these immigrants can no longer afford to rent or buy in the current housing market, since they do not have the money or the willingness to tie themselves to a mortgage for the next 30 years. And with a continuous needbased migration to cities, landlords are encouraged to hold on to high prices, making it unaffordable to even rent a place in the city. Most of these substandard accommodations available to rent, fail to provide a basic quality of life and often come with a lot of restrictions in terms of strict policies in rent contracts and huge deposits. This limits housing choice, pushing the Indian Urban workforce into substandard accommodation in areas they would not choose to live. In addition, Unorganized setups like hostels, PGs and dorms are also not able to respond favorably towards the need of the millennial population of the country. With more young immigrants entering the cities and contributing towards a major population, their lifestyle choice demands a more organized form of rental housing.

SPACE The current housing situation in urban cities have proven dysfunctional in terms of providing satisfaction to its residents. The lack of quality Public spaces, scattered Urban development, congested dwelling spaces add up to the development of inferior spaces. Moreover, shanty and poorly managed neighborhood generate a feeling of unsafe and unhealthy environment.
CONTEXTUAL PUBLIC SPACE
Before overgrowing of mega cities and birth of tall residential towers, traditional houses were connected to the streets giving the residents ample opportunities to engage with the neighborhood and make social connections.
IN-BETWEEN SPACE
PRIVATE SPACE
As people migrate from a Rural setting to an Urban setting, the limitation to space became a pervasive problem. The dense settlement in Urban areas is forced upon leading to congestion and scarcity in space. A traditional house in the suburb has clear boundaries between the public space and the private space. However, as the city densifies the boundaries between the two blurs and the neighborhood is often found missing. The transition between the two further lightens as the city grows denser and even the private spaces are compromised to be used as a single entity for all the functions of the house.
To imbibe the qualities of Sub Urban housing into Urban Co housing, the idea of neighborhood need to be redefined and put together in a way that it generates positive opportunities for social interaction among the residents and corresponds with the city in a positive way.

USER SPECIFIC BELONGINGNESS
SELF REALISATION
A man’s basic need to belong in social connection to people and place and the desire for interpersonal relationship is what Belongingness refer to.
RECOGNITION
Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs states an individual’s need to be Social as one of the five needs for human motivation. He also states that, in order to attain recognition and Self realization, a man must feel socially fulfilled.
SOCIAL NEEDS
However, in the late modern society, people feel constantly alone and secluded. The need to make familiar social interaction is somewhat missing. Therefore, a need to create spaces for people to engage and create social bonds is very important.
NEED OF SAFETY
As the need of Belongingness is not cultural or age specific, the opportunities to engage the outside world with the inside can be one of the solution to cater to the problem of loneliness among the youth.
PHYSICAL NEEDS
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
LIFESTYLE PRESSURE Apart from a man’s social needs, Maslow’s theory also suggests other important needs as fundamental human motivation. A continuous urge to compete with the standards of society often reflects on a person’s behavior.
In order to keep up with this pressure the most positive change a person expects is in its immediate environment. To allow for such growth in the standard of living, development of public space, and activities for recreation must be encouraged within the resident’s habitable environment.

STUDY OF NEIGHBOURHOOD SPACES IN RESIDENTIAL ENVIORNMENT The unbuilt, semi-open or open areas in congruence with the built environment of a residential development are termed as the neighbourhood space. They facilitate interaction and community bonding and enhance the built environment. Due to its varied context, they are often neglected and undermined as leftovers of the built form leading to wastage and underutilization of resources. Numerous scholars have emphasized on the importance of these neighbourhood spaces in the holistic development and comfort of the residents.
However, there usefulness in the Indian context has been diminishing in the present-day residential environments due to mass migration and rapidly growing population. These neighbourhood spaces that impart psychological, physical and intuitive comfort have been present in developed traditional Indian cities but not fully explored in contemporary housing environments. To understand the realities of these spaces in the contemporary Indian context, a comparative analysis of a few projects by prominent architects like Raj Rewal and Charles correa can help devise suitable guidelines to achieve comfort and overall sense of belongingness among the residents. The analysis will also contribute in incorporating community solutions in the project.
Project: Asian Games Village, New Delhi Architect: Raj Rewal Project size: 35 acres The Asian Games Village in New Delhi is built on a 35-acre site comprising 700 dwelling units. The project was conceptualized on the basis of Urban streets and enclosures, (MOHALLA) transforming into a series of spaces interweaved with narrow shaded pedestrian streets facilitating communal and recreational areas. (Moniteur, 1985) The spatial organization of dwelling units is semi extroverted and clustered with a peripheral vehicular road that creates a focus on the central community area. The transition between the vehicular and pedestrian access in the site of Asian Games Village is achieved by providing gateways and tapering road widths.

HIERARCHY IN PUBLIC SPACES
The architect conjoined traditional layout with a contemporary response by configuring low rise buildings with high density development in a cluster form that is ideal for the Indian climate. The transition between units to immediate open spaces at the Asian Games Village is sequential, it opens up to a yard in the front and to the parking through the rear. The cluster designed around a courtyard allows for opportunities to interact and creates openings and interlinking spaces in the module. The terraces formed on the upper floors allows for semi-private space for houses amidst the community. Apart from spatial organization, the streetscape and built mass character are important factors for a visually attractive neighbourhood. The interesting play of solids and voids formed by the staggered units, projecting balconies and terraces in the Asian Games village addresses the issues of individuality, visual relief and spatial definition thereby forming a desired street character.

Project: Belapur Housing, Navi Mumbai Architect: Charles Correa Project size: 14.8 acres The Belapur Incremental housing proposal for mass affordable housing demonstrates the idea of high density living in low rise courtyard homes with the use of modest materials and technology. Generally, a series of low rise, high density housing takes the shape of row houses arranged in linearity with the road but the Belapur housing was clustered around courtyards to break the monotony and provide space for transition. A hierarchy of community spaces structures the planning on site from the most personal court to the most interactive ones. This hierarchy continues until one reaches the largest neighbourhood space known as the ‘maidan’ where amenities like schools and Public plazas are located. The spatial relationships of open spaces are well defined from being highly enclosed spaces between units to large, open areas as one moves farther from the units.
BUILT SPACE
In addition to spatial hierarchy, the low rise built mass character and open streetscape in the Belapur housing is in contrast with the hilly backdrop.

Project: GSFC Housing, Vadodara Architect: B V Doshi Project size: 140 acres The project involves 1800 dwelling units sitting in a sprawling 140-acre site breaking the monotony of Indian residential projects and reflecting the climatic, socio-cultural and aesthetic models of the community despite the economic condition of the residents. Inspired by previous works of Louis Kahn, diagonal geometry is one of the major planning principle defining the pedestrian paths in the site leading to the large central public space. Similar to the Asian Games Village, the GSFC Housing has vehicular access in the periphery, providing equal access to all houses. The hosing units in the projects are modularly configured together reflecting the extroverted organisation of modules. The economic grade of each housing type is reflective in the zoning of the site with lower, middle- and higher-income group housing placed on different parts of the sites united with the central public space including primary schools, water tank and auditoriums.

INFERENCES 1. The analysis shows the relevance of quality neighborhood spaces in residential environments and the diverse strategies applied by well-known architects in creating habitable conditions to promote a sense of belonging and wellbeing, especially in the Indian context. 2. The factors that affect these spaces range from physical, psychological and social needs of the residents.
GSFC HOUSING
3. In all the cases, vehicular and pedestrian movements are well defined and segregated to avoid chaos and disturbance inside the premises. 4. Community and Public spaces are centrally placed to provide equal access and the movement from private to public spaces is sequential. 5. Spatial hierarchy is maintained by providing enclosures and gateways within housing clusters to promote privacy and security from the more communal spaces in the site thereby avoiding vandalism and favoring surveillance. 6. The thorough analysis of the three cases reveals that different approaches by architects achieve similarly conducive living environments.

Raipur as a city has abundance of opportunities in terms of education and jobs. It is the up and coming hub attracting the Youth from across the country. The project will focus on a site within Shankar Nagar, strategically placed to offer major opportunities to the youth in terms of education, jobs, social and recreational engagements. The site is surrounded by commercial, residential, as well as Public buildings offering rich cultural and economic backdrop to its inhabitants. The location of the site is such that it is surrounded by diverse typologies of built and un-built forms, from Public buildings to Commercial, Residential, and Institutional. This works as an advantage to propose Co living for the Youth giving the residents opportunities to soak up the advantages of living in an Urban context.

“The extra wide corridors allow people to meet each other often, and are equipped with seating areas and especially loved by children as a play area.” (LaFond, M., 2012, p. 137) “Those who eat together more frequently, experience higher level of communitas, spirit of community. It turns out, when you eat together you start planning more activites together, you share more things.” (Kim, G., 2017, at 8:10)
USER ANALYSIS India is home to the largest millennial population in the world, comprising of approximately 34% of the country’s total population, with majority of its metro cities bursting at their seams due to the increasing rate of immigrants in search of employment opportunities. People migrating to cities mostly constitutes of a younger population or fresh graduates looking for work, out of whom, an estimated 40% are freelancers, remote or project based, who are not looking to settle down and are always on the go. With the growth in Urban workforce largely constituted by millennials, the traditional housing typologies are not sufficiently able to meet the requirements of this demographic. Their lifestyle demands a progressive typology of housing model that not only provide them with a satisfactory liveable situation but also ensure social and economic satisfaction.

PASSIVE INITIATIVES SUGGESTION 1
The study suggests different design criteria to use natural ventilation to its fullest advantage and minimise the use of mechanical ventilation in the hot seasons. As India is a tropical country, there is abundance of Sun and Wind to use as a natural resource to create daylight and ventilation in the apartments.
THE PROPOSAL
The courtyard affects the natural ventilation in the building enabling CROSS VENTILATION used in tropical countries as an effective cooling technique. The noise pollution from the road can be minimised by PLANTING VEGETATION on the edges. SUGGESTION 2
The use of atrium in the middle to apply the technique of THERMAL BUOYANCY in achieving the thermal comfort inside. But the width of the atrium will determine the amount of light and ventilation inside the apartments.
NATURAL DAYLIGHT THROUGH OPENINGS
CROSS VENTILATION WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF COURTYARDS
SUGGESTION 3
Here, the ventilation happens on either sides with no openings in the middle. The amount of light and ventilation is restricted from the shielded side affecting the amount of air and light entering inside.
