This housing project in Ahmedabad, India, draws from traditional local architecture by providing outdoor spaces for clusters and communities. Inspired by the traditional courtyards and "pols" of the old city, the design incorporates summer terraces for sleeping and cross ventilation for climate response. The high-density, low-rise development includes a central garden and pedestrian-oriented layout with public, semi-private, and private transitional spaces.

- 3. THE BRIEF The people of Ahmedabad love sleeping outdoors in the summer. Most house plans remain flexible in traditional homes t permit summer and winter use of spaces, often arranged around a private or semi-private court. The old city has several such quarters called “pols” that exemplify the traditional way of life. This tradition, while undergoing some transformation in lifestyle when moving to the new city, continues to pervade middle class life in neighborhoods. Courtyards and community spaces are often taken ownership of and made defensible for personal use. Porches and perches (Otla’s) abound in the old city fabric as transient stops for social interaction. This project draws from the traditional and attempts to reinstate such ideas in a contemporary modern architectural ensemble while providing for group housing compliant with local regulations of density and open space.
