Imagining the Riverfront
| Forest of Dean, United Kingdom
The project’s objective is to develop a specific site within a forested area, guided by comprehensive landscape characterization and capacity studies. The envisioned outcome is a new settlement designed to accommodate a population of 12,660 individuals with 5,275 dwellings. The planning approach was meticulously devised to respect and preserve the site’s existing character and natural features.
Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of the site conditions. GIS allowed for detailed analysis of the terrain, vegetation, hydrology, and other critical environmental factors. In addition, sieve mapping identified potential areas suitable for development, pinpointing locations with minimal environmental constraints and ensuring the preservation of ecologically sensitive areas.
The planning process, guided by the Twin-Track Model, facilitated a balanced allocation of different zones within the site. This model ensured that residential, commercial, recreational, and green spaces were distributed to promote harmony with the natural environment. It also allowed for flexibility in planning, accommodating future growth while maintaining the landscape’s integrity.
Overall, the project exemplifies a thoughtful and sustainable approach to development, aiming to create a vibrant community that coexists harmoniously with its forested surroundings. By integrating advanced mapping techniques and strategic planning models, the design meets the housing needs of 12,660 individuals while enhancing the site’s natural beauty and ecological value. This holistic approach ensures the new settlement will thrive as a dynamic and sustainable community, deeply connected to its natural environment.

The proposal aims to achieve sustainability by designating a 33-hectare area (as per Eco Town Criteria 2009) for easy neighborhood access. It includes educational facilities for all age groups, various social gathering spots, and spaces for urban agriculture and tourism income. The plan emphasizes eco-friendly living, retaining the existing solar field and adding a 10-hectare area. Wind turbines are positioned on the eastern side near the river, and passive design principles are recommended to reduce heating and cooling system usage.
The development is concentric, with higher-density mixeduse areas in the east-south corner, featuring commercial ground floors, offices, pubs, and public spaces. The proposal includes extensive green infrastructure (GI) for public recreation, relaxation, social interaction, pedestrian greenways, and cycling. Green spaces are preserved to provide a green offset in housing areas. GI Type 1 covers preserved green areas, parks, hedgerows, and trees, creating a multifunctional connection between the A road and the town center outskirts.
To improve accessibility, a secondary road loop is planned for vehicle traffic, with a car-free urban planning methodology and a 15-minute walkable city design, ensuring almost all areas are within a 400-metre walkable distance. The development respects existing rainwater courses, preserving ponds, valleys, and streams along Awre road, with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to mitigate flood risks. Even with the main hub near flood-prone areas, these features and SUDS will significantly reduce flooding.

Bright Vistaas | Wayanad, India
Designing a luxury resort in the captivating region of Wayanad, nestled in the Western Ghats of Kerala, presents an exciting opportunity to create a harmonious blend of modern comfort and natural splendor. The 2.54-acre site in Thariyod offers unique conditions and challenges that drive the architectural planning and design process.
The site’s lush green landscapes, mist-laden hills, and diverse wildlife create an idyllic setting for a resort that capitalizes on Wayanad’s natural beauty. The dense vegetation, featuring numerous native and wildlife plant species, provides natural privacy and enhances the serene ambiance. This vegetative cover will be strategically preserved to maintain privacy between different areas in the master design, creating secluded retreats within the resort.
The site’s north-west curvature at the top of steep contours offers a distinctive advantage in terms of privacy and views. The separation between blocks in the north-east and north-west areas will ensure a sense of exclusivity for guests. The natural level difference from the road allows for the elegant implementation of an infinity pool, offering magnificent mountaintop views. While the steep contours present challenges for road development and retaining wall construction, these will be addressed through innovative design solutions that integrate seamlessly with the landscape. The site’s favorable wind direction will facilitate natural ventilation, ensuring that every space within the resort benefits from fresh air and a comfortable environment.
Although the current dense vegetation restricts sunlight, the hilltop location will allow ample sunlight to penetrate post-construction, supporting the integration of solar energy systems. This sustainable approach aligns with the resort’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.
The architectural design will feature well-appointed accommodations and state-of-the-art amenities, often incorporating traditional Kerala architecture to provide a culturally immersive experience. The resort’s offerings will include organized nature walks, wildlife safaris, and cultural experiences, attracting both adventure enthusiasts and culture seekers.

Ela | Ponnani, India
The project, named Ela (meaning leaf in Malayalam), centers around the concept of creating an eco-friendly home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings. The design leverages tropical landscaping and natural materials to craft a sustainable living space. This home, designed for a nuclear family, is nestled amidst a lush plot abundant with plants and trees, inspiring the leaf-themed concept.
The architectural approach incorporates natural hardscape materials such as rock waste from quarries, baby metal, and natural stone. The structure itself is enveloped in greenery, seamlessly blending with the environment. The layout includes both public and private courtyards, strategically placed to enhance the living experience and provide tranquil green spaces.
From the family living area and the master bedroom, private courtyards offer secluded gardens, while an external courtyard at the frontage, visible from the dining room, further integrates nature into the daily life of the inhabitants. The house’s walls are painted green to accentuate the leaf concept, reinforcing the home’s connection to nature.
There are three primary courtyards in the design: two private ones accessible from the living area and bedroom, and a third near the sit-out area, densely planted with tropical flora. Additionally, mature bamboo plants in the courtyard extend to the first floor, creating a green canopy visible from above and enhancing the ecological ambiance throughout the home. This meticulous planning and design underscore a commitment to eco-friendly living and an intimate bond with the natural landscape.

Gloucester, United Kingdom
The formerly abandoned railway building and its surrounding land have been revitalized through an innovative ecological design that prioritizes green infrastructure and sustainable development. This comprehensive renaturalization process has transformed the area, creating a harmonious blend of urban and natural elements.
The project’s strategy centered around implementing multifunctional green infrastructure, which has not only restored the site but also established a seamless connection to the nearby Armscroft Park via the newly introduced Myers Road. This integration has significantly enhanced the accessibility and usability of the area, fostering a stronger link between urban spaces and natural landscapes.
A critical component of this initiative was the establishment of suitable woodland cover, which has enriched the region’s visual appeal and ecological value. The reforestation efforts have provided a habitat for local wildlife, improved air quality, and contributed to the overall aesthetic charm of the area.
At the heart of this transformative project, the old railway building in the town center has been ingeniously repurposed into a café, designed specifically to cater to evening gatherings. This adaptive reuse not only preserves the historical essence of the structure but also injects new life into the community by creating a social hub for residents and visitors alike.
Surrounded by verdant spaces, the café and its environs now serve as a prime example of how urban redevelopment can promote human health and well-being. The integration of green spaces within the urban fabric encourages outdoor activities, social interaction, and a deeper connection to nature.
In summary, the ecological design for the formerly abandoned railway site demonstrates a successful blend of restoration, sustainable development, and community enhancement.
