2.3.2 SOCIO‐ ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS‐ The main occupation in this area is related to natural resources of land and forest, like people engaged in agriculture either on their own lands or on land owned by others. Main crops grown are Warai and Nachni (millet). The average literacy of the project area was 18 % in 1991 which has improved considerably in 2001 to 32%, however it is still way below the state and national average (70.4 % and 58.7% respectively) for rural areas. The project area has shown improvement in the sex ratio as it improved from 968 females to thousand males in 1991 to 1000 in 2001. The Work participation rate is also very high at 53% in 2001 and it has improved from 44% in 1991. This could be mainly due to a most members of the family being engaged in agricultural work. NO.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION 3.2 CASE STUDIES‐ 3.2.1 KINGS HOUSE APARTMENTS‐ Occupying a strategic position in the heart of Bangalore city, the project is in close proximity with some of the best hospitality, medical and commercial facilities in the city. PROJECT DESCRIPTION‐     

PROJECT ARCHITECT‐ THE PURPLE INK STUDIO LOCATION‐ BANGALORE, INDIA SITE AREA‐ 30,000 SQ.FT. PROJECT AREA‐ 100,000 SQ.FT. RESIDENCES‐ 10,000‐ 20,000 SQ.FT.

The idea of going higher was restricted by the existing Byelaws which did not allow the building to go beyond 12m. The master plan had to thus examine and organize the programs of the site to address the complexities of Super luxury living within the Green Parameters embedded within the site context.

FIG. 18 SITE INTERPRETATION

P a g e 23 |


CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION

FIG. 19 SITE PLAN

Two blocks were planned to house one apartment on each side per floor that would emerge from sunken gardens and blend into the peripheral greens amidst the site. To compensate on the loss of lower vegetation from the site during the construction, every floor plate extends into greens and balconies generating great diversity within the site context.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION

FIG. 22, 23 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING THE APPROACH TAKEN TO MAXIMIZE GREEN COVER

FIG. 24 SOLAR STUDY AND APPROACH TO DESIGN

An integrated design approach was followed to evaluate and maximize the energy reductions of the building. Solar studies and simulations were used to generate data regarding day lighting, shadow analysis, rainfall pattern and shading systems. These studies, along with lighting analysis, were critical to generate the load calculations and sizing and selection of all the Mechanical Systems.

P a g e 25 |


CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION

FIG. 25 FAÇADE TREATMENT

To optimize the cooling effect, the building mass and window openings were shaped and sized to best capture the breezes based on Computer Generated Simulations. The Vertical Shading devices are combined with Horizontals to cut off harsh rays of the sun. This functions as a rain protector and also multiplies as a Visual Barrier Sideways. ANALYSIS‐ The building thus functions as a selective environmental filter, enhancing the best components of the regional climate to address heating, cooling and ventilation needs of the structure.

FIG. 26, 27, 28 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING USE OF GREEN MATERIALS

P a g e 26 |


CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION The construction deals intensely on using green materials to integrate multiple sustainable features into the project. Using materials like AAC Blocks, PV Cells for solar lighting, Solar Reflective tiles for High heat reflectance, Double Glazed Windows, Permeable Paving & Rain water harvesting for Ground Water Recharge are few of the systems that saves significant energy and minimizes the carbon footprint.

While the concept of the building focuses on green factors of design and use of sustainable materials, the aesthetic character of the building is far from being compromised. With individual residential units being approximately 10,000 SQ.FT. in size, the ecological elements are conscientiously woven together with the luxury requirements of the project that conclusively expresses a contemporary response which further establishes a contextual relationship and giving each residence the highest degree of originality.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION 3.2.2 KONARK BELVEDERE‐ Inspired by the Art Deco Architecture, Konark Belvedere has one apartment per floor, giving a choice of 4 bedrooms. Terraces adjacent to three bedrooms and large bay windows, giving unobstructed views of the surroundings. The structure of the building is accentuated by the contemporary art deco elements. It also gets enhanced at night with elegant lightning design.

FIG. 37, 38 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING EXTERIOR FAÇADE

Pima facie proves that the apartments are ultra‐luxurious with a welcoming and grand lobby that adds to the overall beauty of the structure.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION 3.2.3 WEEKEND BUNGLOW‐ Situated within the Western Ghats, Amby Valley has a very rain drenched monsoon and this location in particular has high rainfall with a characteristic swirling motion due to the valleys.

FIG. 50 PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING FRONT VIEW OF BUNGLOW

The brief demanded a rather large weekend get‐away house for a joint family‐ consisting of three smaller self‐contained villas for the parents and the two brothers (and their families) within the house with some shared facilities. The site had sweeping views towards the east and was steeply contoured and required good use of levels to negotiate the ground while maximising the view towards the east.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION

FIG. 52 PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING FRONT VIEW TOWARDS EAST

The design looked at creating exterior open spaces between these three individual villas at the same time maximising their views out towards the east. The program was abstracted into two individual villas having two bedrooms each with the main shared facilities in between. There was a level added at the upper level that completed the younger brother’s house with a large Music room attached to it. The guest rooms were tucked below one villa with the services and parking under the other villa.

PROJECT ARCHITECT‐ OPOLIS ARCHITECTS LOCATION‐ AAMBY VALLEY, MAHARASHTRA SITE AREA‐ 10,000 SQ.FT. PROJECT AREA‐ 5, 3970 SQ.FT.

ANALYSIS‐ The house uses the black basalt stone of the Western Ghats to create a visually stronger and solid base and exposed concrete walls to emphasize the main villa spaces. A light weight steel roof structure with wooden planks and Mangalore tiles completes the composition. A grey limestone floor ties in all the circulation spaces while the main living space has a white buff stone that creates its own pixelated carpet like look.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION 3.2.4 RIPARIAN HOUSE‐ Not a long drive away from Mumbai, a mountainous landscape rises up, called the Western Ghats. From this UNESCO world heritage area, numerous rivers and streams find their way down through an undulating landscape eventually feeding into the Bombay bay.

FIG. 60, 61 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) SITE MODEL, CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN

The Riparian House is placed just below the top of a hillock at the foothills of the Ghats. The top of a vegetated roof merges with the top of the hillock, hiding the house from the approach on the east side. Inside the house one can nevertheless enjoy the views to the north of the Irshalgad hill fortress and towards the west the sunset while the river winds its way across the agricultural fields.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION ANALYSIS‐ Since the most of the site is steeply sloping with a 1:4 gradient, the vegetated roof gives the house an additional usable area. From the top it seems to be an extension of the natural landscape, enhancing the under‐statedness of the house. The green cover serves to keep the house below cool due to its insulative properties. Along the central axis of the house landscaped steps lead you along a coarsed stone wall towards the pool deck. A second set of steps connects to the main level of the house where the axis culminates via the dining room and kitchen into a light filled courtyard. The experience of being inside the earth is enhanced through the stone boulders which were discovered during the excavation process and retain the earth.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION The kitchen occupies a central position along with the open to sky courtyard and is flanked on either side by two bedrooms at the two far ends. These spaces are embedded in the earth with windows brining in ample light from above and the river side.

FIG. 65, 66 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWIING COURTYARD

A master bedroom, bathroom, dining and living area sit along the front, a more open face of the house. Both the living room in the western corner of the house and the master bedroom in the northern corner enjoy panoramic views to the river.

FIG. 67, 68 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWIING EXTERIOR

Galvanized steel mullioned windows break down the scale of the front façade of the house. A rhythmic row of bamboo poles is placed at close intervals in front of the house to create a layer of privacy without obstructing the spectacular view of the river and the mountains beyond. The bamboo enclosure creates a dialogue between the interior and the dramatically changing landscape. The natural landscape changes from a dense brightly green coloured jungle‐like forest during the monsoon months to a pale brown shrubby wasteland during the dry and hot summer months.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION

FIG. 69, 70 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWIING INTERIOR

The building has to respond to these extreme conditions by allowing enough shade and breeze during the summer and providing a waterproof indoor environment during the stormy monsoons. The screen of columns creates an ever‐changing pattern of light and shadow throughout. The walls are built in Indian limestone in a coarsed pattern, which make the house seem to rise out of the ground giving it a solid base. This is contrasted by the lightness of a suspended timber deck verandah which surrounds the house on three sides. The covered verandahs allow for comfortably ventilated and shaded semi‐indoor spaces. Internally the timber floor continuous as a border around various patterned natural stone floors. In front of the living room the deck extends to form a large outdoor deck with a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION 3.3.4 Nalla Corridors‐ The nalla corridor is not a set physical width, but responds to numerous variables including terrain, elevation, water flow volumes and velocity, stream bed materials and vegetation. In order to properly preserve the integrity of the nalla corridors, the actual corridor width will be considered variable and the definition of the corridor protection limits shall include a naturally vegetated nalla buffer strip that extends a minimum of 7.5 meters beyond the top of bank at either side of the nalla. This vegetated nalla buffer provides for capture and treatment of storm water runoff and provides erosion protection for the nalla banks. No development is to occur within the entire corridor width, including the 7.5 meter buffer at either side. This development restriction applies to all nalla corridors, including those that occur within private parcels or lots.

CHAPTER 3 DATA INFORMATION 3.3.5 Landscape Planting‐ The native forest systems of the Sahyadri Mountains provide the landscape palette and the model for landscape performance at Lavasa. The key factor for the success of the landscape demonstrated by the native forest model is the health of the soil resource. Preservation, restoration and building of soil health is the most important aspect of landscape planting efforts at Lavasa. The genius of place in this regard is the litter layer which holds 70% of all nutrients deposited in the forest. The litter layer aids in filtering and infiltrating rainfall into the soil while acting as a vapour barrier to soil evaporation in the dry season.

FIG. 88 EXISTING FOREST MODEL

The forest model performance illustrates the importance of the canopy layering structure of the forest and the biodiversity of the forest ecosystem, fauna and flora. These aspects of the forest contribute to its function and resiliency and are characteristics that can inform the built landscape. The forest provides an indigenous landscape palette suited to the site conditions of Lavasa as well as providing seasonal colour, character and ornamental qualities. *ATTACHED DRG. (DRG1.) (P.T.O.)

4.1.2 PROPOSED SITE‐ Lavasa, invitingly located in the Mose Valley in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India, includes three major valleys on the north side of the lake. The site (Mugaon valley) is located in the Western Ghats, a unique ecosystem with heavy rainfalls and extended periods of draught, strong soil stability, and high temperature and humidity. The location provides a lush tendency toward moist deciduous forest and rich basalt soils. The location of the site is a position of inspiration, with soaring views and rugged terrain. *ATTACHED DRG.

CHAPTER 4 THE ANALYSIS

FIG. 90, 91 (LEFT‐ ROGHT) PHTOGRAPH SHOWING SITE VIEWS

FIG. 92 PHTOGRAPH SHOWING WEST SIDE RIDGE LINE (PROPOSED SITE)

SITE ANALYSIS‐ The site contains high ridge tops on west side. The geography of the site is typical of the remainder of Lavasa and the Western Ghats. Mid to upper level terraces occur throughout the mountainous landscape. Vegetative cover tends to be scrubby shrub plants covering the primary slopes. A primary topography influencer, the waterways known as nalas bring along associations with larger tree types, as well as scrub /shrub vegetation occurring mainly due to increased soil moisture content. The valley floor is subject to seasonal flooding during the monsoon season. When Warasgaon Lake recedes during the dry months, the water that covers the valley floor in Mugaon disappears. The annual fluctuation has removed all or most of the vegetation that once occupied the area prior to the creation of the lake.

CHAPTER 4 THE ANALYSIS

FIG. 93 KEY PLAN FIG. 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 (TOP LEFT‐ BOTTOM) SITE PHOTOGRAPHS

STRATEGIES FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT‐ 1. SLOPE PRESERVATION‐ Limiting the development to only slopes less than 3:1 and preferably 4:1. (FIG. 87) 2. STREAM PRESERVATION‐ Restrict development from Nala corridors. Provide mutliple terracing and pools to slow and store water. 3. EXISTING VEGETATION RESORATION‐ Stop current agricultural techniques and aggressively restore entire Valley vegetation. FOREST PRESERVATION‐ Respect Forest Preserve and encourage additional reforestation. 4. MINIMIZING DEVELOPMENT FOOTPRINT‐ Looking north along the existing roadway leading towards the site. The arrival sequence has a great opportunity to capture the eye of the visitor.

CHAPTER 5 PLANNING AND DESIGN APPROACH 5.1 THE THEME‐ 5.1.1 APPROACH‐ Due to the aforementioned ecological concerns and the strict constraints of the topography of the site, the development of the project needs to be kept to areas near already constructed roadways and onto the parcels identified as developable. The man‐made lake becomes the focal point of the development, around which multi‐family residential is established.

5.1.2 WHAT IS LUXURY?‐ 

Luxury is so much more than LOCATION‐ LOCATION‐ LOCATION…… Traditional prominent addresses and prized zip codes are no longer the defining baseline concept for luxury homes.

FIG. 104, 105 (LEFT‐ RIGHT) LUXURY OF HAVING A LARGE EXPENSIVE SPACE IN A CITY IS NO MATCH TO BE IN LUXURY OF BEING SURROUNDED BY NATURE.

Luxury is CONSCIOUS LIVING‐ Owing a home that doesn’t negatively impact the community, and one that can even the positive meaning, is attractive for wealthy buyers. The demand for more sustainable and healthy environments has fuelled a trend towards conscious living.

CHAPTER 5 PLANNING AND DESIGN APPROACH 

Luxury is EXPERIENCIAL‐ Today’s society is more informed, more exposed & more sophisticated than the previous generations, i.e. “Less materialistic, more experiential”.

FIG. 107 PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING ROW OF VILLAS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SURROUNDING LAKE AND INTURN PROVIDING MORE OF OUTSIDE EXPERIENCES IN THIS TECH‐ AGNOSTIC LIFE.

 

Luxury is CONVINIENCE Luxury is AGE‐ AGNOSTIC‐ There is an increasing demand for homes with spaces that have flexibility to adopt to generational diversity and entertaining requirements. Luxury is PRIVACY‐ The age of the smartphone and its pervasive social‐media feeds has brought with it an increasing desire for privacy, particularly for high‐ profile and celebrity buyers of luxury homes.

FIG. 108 A VILLA MERGED WITHIN THE NATURE WITH ALL THE AMENETIES YET MAINTAING PRIVACY.

P a g e 56 |


CHAPTER 5 PLANNING AND DESIGN APPROACH 

Luxury is UNDERSTATED‐ Luxury is no longer about displays of wealth. Instead, quality‐over‐ quantity luxury will continue to be one of the key factors behind many prestige acquisitions.

5.1.2 LUXURY AND ARCHITECTURE‐ 

Luxury in architecture can be equated to ... quality of space and light Understanding the space and giving a positive impact to the building. Luxury in architecture can be equated to ... quality over quantity It’s not about the number of spaces/ amenities one provides, it’s the quality of spaces provided marks the actual luxury. It’s not about quantity, or covering everything in marble – it’s about using materials that are timeless and well‐made, and considered in how they are put together.

Luxury in architecture can be equated to ... tangible nature of materials. Traps that one easily fall into is the idea that expensive materials equate to luxury. How materials are used is very important. We always feel that the quieter the visual outcome the better.

Luxury in architecture can be equated to ... details, craftsmanship. It’s not about creating things for the sake of it, it’s about giving attention to details, craftsmanship afforded to both the design process and build process.

Luxury in architecture can be equated to ... tailoring/ customising. There is a real joy and fulfilment in spending hours on research, drawing sketches and details by hand and then watching the build to achieve the end customised outcome. It’s not a “one‐‐size‐‐fits‐‐all” scenario – designs tailoring to each client’s brief, allows us to explore and develop our ideas to arrive at a personal solution.

Luxury in architecture can be equated to ... boundless. Also increasingly using elements that add value to recreation spaces and blur the lines between inside and outside, giving the sense to enjoy the exotic and indulgent experiences they have while travelling being introduced into their own homes.

CONCLUSION The site is situated in Mose river valley on the hill slopes around Warasgaon lake (Veer Baji Pasalkar Reservoir), covering an area of around 30 Acres. The origin of the river is at village Dhamanohol and 17 out of the 18 villages included in the hill station are in the catchment area of the Warasgaon dam. The hill surroundings have moderate to steep slope rising from the full reservoir level of 639.5 m from the mean sea level (MSL). The slopes are denuded of tree cover, except in some patches. The idea was to emphasis on beauty, aesthetics, human comfort, and creating a ‘sense of place’. The project was to provide with more of buildings‐ residences, shops, and services closer together for ease of walking, to enable an efficient use of services and resources.
