Urban space design that blends work life and social life.


While Hinjewadi was known as an IT hub for working professionals and young start-ups, it lacked the presence of a lifestyle cum F&B destination that would cater to the young generation crowd. We initiated the design by investigating co-existing relationships between real estate development and F&B business modules. Some of the keywords that we were looking for before planning the design:

Lifestyle Centers - Urban Villages - Walkability - Livability - Placemaking - Transit-oriented development

Anyone involved in development or design these days is inundated with articles and discussions about these latest development trends. They’re all part of a search for a more humane lifestyle, for human-scale environments. Quality of life issues have become inextricably linked to real estate development fashions. But there’s another thread that connects all these trends : CHOICE.

Process

Streets

Designed the streets predicting route by which people will flow out of the building has been mapped, to ensure an unimpeded path for their movement.


Plaza & overlooking decks

Encourages social interactions through its amenities with a view of the landscape and connecting visitors to other building facilities.


Plan/Design Development


Result

The 3 lantern volumes create an identity and are connected through a series of streets on each level. As you walk through the blocks, one is exposed to interesting urban space in the central plaza, giving a sense of openness.
