PRASAAR- A Compact Living

There is a need of designing affordable housings in future yet not compromising in the quality of spaces. PRASAAR, located at Mahatma Phule Mandai, Pune, is a concept of compact living for 2-3 people which offers an experiential living in terms of recreational zones and interesting spill out spaces formed by the existing pods. A sense of Movement and pause is achieved by creating sunken sitting areas at certain zones. These sunken spaces are best experienced in the evening as it has a radioactive ring inside. While moving in the spill out spaces user would be intrigued to follow the movement path as the pods are placed in an interesting manner following the centripetal organization. Interior of the pod is designed such that it follows the language of the overall pod and has a modern touch to it. A design which is minimal, monochrome yet appealing is the idea behind the color scheme of the pod.  To view recorded video click here
