•Address- 6km from the centre of Indore
city, M.P.
•Client- Indore Development Authority
•Principal Architect - Balkrishna Doshi
•Total Land area- 220 acres
•Total Built-up Area- 100,000 m2
•Number of plots- 6500
•Population (projected)- 40,000 (initial)
persons , 65,000 (final) person
• Create a township with a sense of
continuity and fundamental values of
security in a good living environment.
•Achieve a community character by
establishing harmony between the built
environment and the people.
•Create a balanced community of various
socio-economic groups to evolve a
framework through design.
•To provide serviced sites for new housing
developments instead of building
complete houses.
Objectives
Evolution of Master Plan
Plan proposed by IDA without
any concern for open space
hierarchy, circulation system.
Initial stage of proposed plan
with distributed open spaces
and street hierarchies.
Later with rectified orientation
to minimize heat gain and
increase natural shading.
Proposed master plan with
interlinked open spaces, and
climate friendly orientation.
•Urban Indore city 214 sq. km. Major development along
Delhi Mumbai highway running through the city in the north
south direction
• Site selection criteria: Linkages to the city, Employment
generating industrial areas in the surroundings.
Site Analysis
Existing features: 1.85 hectares allotted for existing light
industries.
Geographical features: Flat site . A natural water channel
running diagonally across the SW corner.
• Top strata of the black cotton soil 2-2.5 m thick. Gradually
sloping (Gradient : 1:110 approx.) towards the north-west
corner.
Earth and Climate
•The major climatic factors affecting the nature of built
form are solar radiation, ambient temperature, relative
humidity, prevailing wind and rainfall.
•The overall climate of Indore can be termed as composite.
Inferences -
• Most of the plots were small in and size and the houses
were clustered in low rise blocks.
• The longer side facade is oriented in the north- south axis
to reduce the solar radiations on building especially during
summers.
• The two openings on north and south permit natural light
and cross ventilation.
• Courtyards within houses, cul-de-sacs, public squares and
small activity areas are sufficiently shaded by the adjacent
buildings.
• Landscaping and green areas include flowering and shade
giving trees with thick green ground cover.

CASE STUDY (ARANYA COMMUNITY HOUSING, INDORE)
Envisaged built form-
Essentially a low rise high
density development the built
form echoes the traditional
fabric with continuity of built
edge, shared walls, favorable
micro climate, house form
variations and culturally
appropriate settings.
Material like brick or stone, black cotton soil, that were locally
available
Concept
The idea was to mix some middle income
plots with EWS plots to use the profits to
raise capital towards development of local
trades.

• The master plan was divided into six
sectors with a central spine area of
commercial and institutional land use.
• The town centre in the middle part of
the spine consisted of four clusters of
shopping, residential and office
complexes.
•At the end of the spine, two more
clusters of social functions were located.
This was a mixed-use zone with a five
storey building.
• The high income group (HIG 9 per cent),
is along the periphery of the national
highway and part on the south east border
of the arterial road in the south.
• The middle income group (MIG 14 %) is
planned along the periphery of arterial
roads on north – west side and part on the
south arterial road along the part of the
spine.
• The lower income group (LIG 11%)and
the economically weaker sector (EWS
65%) are located in the middle of all six
sectors.

Basic Planning Layout
•A house plan included two rooms and a living area
followed by a kitchen .
• Lavatory was constructed between the front
extension and the multi use courtyard at the back.
• Most houses were provided with an additional access
at the back, which allowed for keeping animals, a
vehicle or even renting out part of the house to provide
income.
• For interaction of families an otta (an important
feature of the Indian home) was provided between the
service spaces and the cul-de-sac.
•A service core was provided with the prime objective
that the basic house when completed will be sensitive
to the lifestyle and daily needs of individuals with the
freedom to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces with
privacy within and from outside the homes, by
designing optional plan.

CASE STUDY (ARANYA COMMUNITY HOUSING, INDORE)
• In this scheme services like water tap, toilets and street lights and a plinth are
provided around which houses can have different configurations.
•Longer side of a block of row house was oriented north south to reduce solar
radiation Provision of vertical expansions.
•Structural members: Reinforced concrete plinth beams, load bearing brick walls,
reinforced concrete slabs.
•Exterior finishes: Bright colour in the façade, railing, grills and cornices seen in
the old houses of Indore used in some houses in the township.
Service
•Each family provided with a plot
having a water tank, sewerage
connection, paved access with
street lighting, storm water
drainage
• Service cores - key to this site
and service scheme.-nuclei
around which houses were built.
• Septic tank provided for every 2
clusters. Water drawn from 3 local
reservoirs.
•To economize, 20 toilets are
connected to 1 manhole.One
service line serves four rows of
houses
Conclusion
• Community facilities grouped in
local sub centers. Formal
organization
•Community facilities distributed
evenly. Accessibility improved.
•Lower level Community facilities
organized in green spaces .
•The road network, designed
according to the topography,
allowed for smooth gravitational
flow of water.
