The project aims to provide a livable habitat inside a shipping container to the workers working in the ship breaking yard at Alang. The process included designing a neighborhood which is formed by interconnected hierarchical open spaces, ranging from more private to public spaces which cater to different age groups and serve as activity generators. A central open space makes this neighborhood inward looking and the looped vehicular roads ensure equity in terms of accessability.  Gestures for such concerns are made on the Site level, Cluster level, and Unit level.
