Situated in the core of Ahmedabad city, Sabarmati Riverfront is an extensively used public infrastructure. The project focuses upon understanding the existing infrastructure and exploring potential possibilities for intervention, based upon the needs of the user group. Considering the monotonous long stretch of cycle track, it was evident that the existing infrastructure for hault and refreshments was not sufficient. The project focuses upon conceptualising and designing intermediate refreshment kiosks and stalls which would cater as both, serving stalls and sitting spaces. The design output is a stall which can be deployed and converted into sitting spaces. The sitting is put around the tree-planters to naturally shade the intervention. The users can get a comfortable sitting space in the closed position of the structure, whereas in the deployed state, when it becomes a stall, the height increases and space becomes sufficient to cater to the purpose of selling.
