The Asian Games Village in New Delhi, India was constructed between 1980-1982 as housing for the 1982 Asian Games. Architect Raj Rewal designed the 700 unit complex with a mix of individual homes and apartments ranging from 2-4 stories. The design uses a cluster organization with pedestrian streets and open spaces linked to recreational and commercial areas, drawing inspiration from traditional layouts in Jaipur and Jaisalmer. The complex achieves a low rise, high density development with 15% of the site dedicated to green space and courtyards.
