Chirasthyi- Everlasting Market

With the redevelopement of Ghatlodiya Market, the commercial zone is made a lot more open and constructive in its interaction with the community. Located in the midst of several residential areas, it provides scope for leisure, interactions and other such activities seamlessly. Striking, however, is the placement of vending activities on the road perimeter, with nice landscaping around them for privacy and peace. The proposal aims to balance peace with social activity in order to build the community’s spirit while maintaining serenity. The market, because of the natural elements and the unique aspects of the design, will work as a peaceful space during day and as an energetic and busy space during night strengthening the neighborhood relationship and quality of life.
