Hexaplanes : A living pod

In urban India due to population, urbanization, industrialization, etc the demand for living pods has risen. Hexaplanes, a living pod is named as such due to the dynamic nature of space it provides to its users. The user groups/migrants that will be living in these pods are small families and working individuals. Mahatma Phule Mandai in Pune, Maharashtra is the site for this project. A case study was produced to study the living conditions and needs of such pods.
