A Residence in 'Shantinath ni Pol'

'Shantinath ni Pol', located near the famous Relief road in Ahmedabad is a small, extremely lively Pol with two Jain Derasars and a common ‘Chabutra’. The project focuses on designing a personalized residence for a 6 member family. It aims at reviving the character of typical Pol houses while creating important and meaningful connections. The form, structure and planning of spaces help create a unique experience for the users establishing interesting connections with the Pol, its people and within. With play of volumes and scale, every space complements each other making it interesting.
