Urban RE( Development )

Urbanization has led to an increase in the demand for real estate housing. The Idea of type has been derailed to more standardization of housing lots. Housing should be viable and its saleability is a crucial ingredient. Housing has become monotonous in its expression. The stamping and stacking has resulted in standard housing type. The fact that the unit configurations are a standard thing, but the experience outside the doorway is the thing to play around with. The project revolved around the Idea of an interconnected network of Social spaces in order to elevate life in housing. 
The project reflects upon many such issues of monotony, stacking and stamping, ground, flexibility in high-rises, and perceived scale vs visual scale of density. The idea of interconnected corridors and shared veranda emerged from the context itself. The elements of unit, blocks, and open spaces has been standardized out of which the house is the static component that is a real estate demanding. Rethinking the way in which one reached the house is the inquiry to be thought about. The design tried to address the ideas and push the dynamic component towards the range of unit and core in the rather static urban housing development.
