The project, Keystone is located near Nirma University, Gota. The approach towards designing this housing project was to address certain concerns in housing, that were observed throughout the semester.
The larger idea was to have a very active ground plane. The street leaks into the open plot, inviting the city in and creating an extension to the street. There is a gradual change in the 'publicness' of the open plot as we go further inside.
The units were designed keeping in mind the need to create variations within the project in offering multiple options to the people looking for homes.
