By identifying the shortcomings of conventional vertical housing typologies, this project seeks to resolve these challenges through a unified yet adaptable strategy of integrating gardens across varied scales, levels, and types. These layered gardens not only create engaging spaces but also establish a microclimate, thoughtfully addressing the hot and dry conditions of Ahmedabad. The design features a zigzag massing, diagonally cutting through the site to minimize the building footprint. This approach maximizes opportunities for expansive ground-level landscaping while ensuring privacy within the built form. An alternating arrangement of mass and void, incorporating double-height volumes, introduces outdoor spaces at every doorstep. This strategy not only fosters accessibility but also encourages the organic emergence of recreational spaces, seamlessly blending architecture with nature.
