Design, Planning and Analytical Process for Multi Storied BuildingsYogeshIJTSRD
Valuable urban land is shorting at a very fast rate with the growing demand of increasing population. The conventional law rise development cannot meet the rising demand of more number of dwelling units per unit area so the only solution is high rise development with enough open spaces around the buildings for proper light and ventilation.

3. YAMUNA HOUSING APARTMENTS, DELHI
❑ CONCEPT
• Yamuna apartments belong to a group housing society, which has been designed for
the lower middle income group.
• The site allotted for the housing complex was 4.25 acres , but due to planning
regulations , an area measuring 0.5 acres was required to be left as open space, at
the north east corner. The intention of this open space being , to form a continuous
green space with the adjoining residential complex. The green space has enabled the
housing to have a nice playground.
• The pedestrian movement is along four radial galis where children can play
undisturbed by the vehicular traffic . Plants planted along the side of the gali, present a
refreshing contrast to the external walls of the unit.
• The design concept however, distinguishes it from other
developments in the city. This society consists of 200 members,
most of which came from south indian states of kerala , tamil nadu
and andhra pradesh , constituted a fairly cohesive group with
specific living requirements. Taking these factors into consideration
, the housing was designed as an integral community settlement ,
where the traditional housing elements were incorporated to create
an “urban village “ in a city.
• The design concept revolves around a typical indian village , with
its lively narrow galis or pedestrian streets , where the womenfolk
and children would pull out their charpai onto the gali , so that they
were able to share experience and converstaion with each other,
while doing their household chores. This has been achieved by a
designing a traffic free complex , where the vehicular traffic is
restricted to the periphery and in the basement.
• Galis converge onto an asymmetrically placed central square ,
which forms the focus. It is here that the recreational activities have
been placed.
SITE PLAN
4. The dwelling units comprise of three basic plan types of
varying floor area , which are grouped together in a repetitive basis, to
form individual housing blocks.
• The access staircase leading to the unit takes off from the gali, thus
maintaining a continuity and acting as transitional space , between
common public areas and private areas of each house.
• It has also enabled residents to converse with each other and
maintain contact with the surroundings while they work.
• Unlike the west , the indian neighbourhoods are open and privacy
is not given much importance. Houses were designed overlooking
each others semi private areas.
• Thus , in addition to sharing experiences while the womenfolk
performed the daily chores , it also enabled assistance in the time
of an urgency .
• In the unit plans , the semi private area or the living room of each
unit has been consciously designed towards the pedestrian spine
to enable communal interaction and acknowledgement of one’s
neighbours.
• The living room has an attached balcony which overlooks the
pedestrian spine.
• This enables the residents to share and exchange social contact at
various levels, thereby retaining the lively character of the gali.
• The private area of the bedrooms are to the rear of the house
opening on to a terrace for sleeping.
• According to the norms of the community , the kitchen is
considered a holy place and is kept clean, it is for this reason that
is has to be kept away form all normal circulation routes within the
house.
• The bathroom and kitchen open onto the internal ventilation and
light shaft , on which they are dependent for their light and
ventilation.
• Access staircase.
• Each block has a set of external staircases which is used to access
the apartments. The staircase splits into another staircase as it
approaches the doors of the apartment. This gives the appearance
of almost a personalized staircase for each house, something
which is not commonly found in group housing.
❑ PLANNING OF DWELLING UNITS
5. ❑ BUILT FORM
The recreational activities
are grouped around the
central square. The club is
located on the first floor
level forming a bridge
across two housing blocks.
A view of the units
grouped around the
central space. The
open air stage is in
the foreground.
• There is an integration of traditional design elements as balconies
for shading the external wall surface , courtyards and terraces for
outdoor sleeping in summer , thus establishing a hierarchy of open
and enclosed spaces, private an semi private areas.
• The unit plan has opening on two sides , thus enabling a fair
amount of cross ventilation.
• Each unit is sheltered on the outside by either a balcony or terrace
The terrace provides a space for outdoor activities.
• Part of the terrace is always open to sky which gives it an added
openness . This has been achieved by changing the shape of the
terrace from square to rectangular on alternate floors. The elected
framework provides considerable variation to the façade and a
strong geometric framework.
• Yamuna apartments are unique in terms of
the volumetric form, owing to the constant
staggering and the breaking up of the
facade.
• Each made up of 3 types of dwelling units,
which are placed over each other in a way
that the built mass is non- aligned.
• Such an arrangement provides optimal
mutual shading, and cuts off the harsh sun.
6. ❑ PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS
• The shape of the built form gives rise to the
• walkways between two blocks, which function
• as streets within the society.
• These `galis’ have been completely pedestrian
• isled and function beautifully as community
• spaces.
• They have been broken into levels, given green
• pockets, and are so well shaded that one can
• easily interact with people without worrying
• about hot summer.
• Instead of splitting two blocks apart,
• these parks bring the two together by
• encouraging people to interact and
• make it lively.
• Since the entire society was designed like a typical
village, chowks form an integral part of this scheme.
• Each pedestrian walkway or `gali’ leads to one of these
asymmetrical cores or `chowks’.
• They provide an interesting focal point for daily activities
to place on a larger scale.
• One such core doubles up to form a badminton court and
a mini stage area for shows to take place, while another
is merely a courtyard which is shaded by trees and is
broken into levels for people to sit and interact.
• These spaces become pivotal in tying the blocks and
paths together.
❑ COMMUNITY SPACES/ ‘CHOWKS’
• There is one major playground tucked further away into the society.
• A small park is situated in one of the chowks which consists of swings for children and
benches to sit.
• Apart from dedicated greens, the pathways are interspersed with green pockets,
planters, trees, shrubs etc. the most prominent trees are frangipans, deodar, mango
etc. they provide ample shading and improve the microclimate to a larger extent.
❑ GREEN SPACES
7. • Car parking for the houses is limited to the periphery of the housing and no car can come
through to the internals of the society. Vehicular movement for every other reason is
restricted to the perimeter as well.
❑ PARKING
• Each block consists of 2 types of flats, 2 and 3 bedroom respectively. Examples, flat type
1 has 3 bedrooms, whereas, flat type 2 has 2. there is a service entrance from the
kitchen, accessed by the same staircase which leads to the guest entry.
• The design of every unit is such that the living room opens into a balcony, which provides
a direct visual connection with the house opposite to it.
• Bedrooms opens into a patio/balcony on the backside of the block, and are adjoined by
the balconies of the other houses. The patio is then half covered by the patio of the floor
above it, which gives it the staggered appearance.
• Service shafts: 2 apartment units share 1 common shaft, which is shared by the living
room, kitchen and the bathroom in one unit.
❑ SPATIAL PLANNING
The open air stage forms a part of the
recreational facilities grouped around the
central square.
• Units on the ground floor have a private
courtyard which is partly covered . It forms
an important space for outdoor activities ,
sitting out in summer evenings and on cold
wintry days, etc.
• The change in the shape of the terrace ,
from square to rectangular , on alternate
floors provides considerable variation to
the façade and strong geometric frame
work.
• The external walls finished with stone
aggregate which practically requires no
maintenance besides an occasional
washing down with water to remove the
dust along with reinforced concrete bands
at terrace levels provide a refreshing
contrast against the landscape.
8. ❑ MERITS
• Community spaces like O.A.T, public seating, gardens etc. are
provided.
• Water tank orientation with good use of levels.
• Neighbourhood is maintained.
• Better use of site’s irregular negative space by providing children’s
play area and gardens there.
• Landscaping is used as a very important key feature in complete
design.
• Privacy is maintained by providing a small breathing space in every
apartment i.e. in ground floor it is next to main door and in upper
floors it is as balconies.
• Two main, three sub and one service Entries are provided for the
better use of spaces.
• Non- accessible Terrace gardens are provided to enclosure to the
outer space and at the same time they also gives the view of the
open sky which merges with the landscaping on the upper terrace
gardens.
❑ DEMERITS
• Security pipelines are exposed and are running along the window.
• Basement is not used for any purpose.
• Parking was not made according to the requirement, cars were
parked on the roadside.
• The designer has tried to make the open
spaces face towards the southern side to
avoid direct light entering the area.
• The complex gives a sense of enclosure.
• There are many buffer zones within the
complex which form the space of gathering ,
social interaction.
• 35 percent of the total area is the built up area. There are large
open spaces for public use provided on the periphery of the
complex.
• The built up area is in staggered form and oriented in such a way
that they form a sense of enclosure within the complex. Bey
balconies have been provided with the built units that add to the
aesthetics and functionality to the built form.

ASIAN GAMES VILLAGE, NEW DELHI
–BY RAJ REWAL
• In the Asian housing ,the urban pattern of Jaipur and Jaisalmer has been explored.
• A relatively wide variety of unit types, from individual houses to apartment type.
• In all, there are some 500 housing units, comprising 200 individual town houses and 300 apartments in two-storey to four-storey with
each unit type has variations according to areas.
• The combination of various dwelling types into an urban pattern of unusual diversity makes the Asian village quite remarkable.
• The architect interwove three principle dictates that simultaneously conjoined traditional layouts with a contemporary response:
• Configuring a low rise High density development representative of the typical Indian ‘Mohalla’ or community Creating cluster formations
ideal for the Indian climate.
• In all, there are some 500 housing units, comprising 200 individual town houses and 300 apartments in two-storey to four-storey with
each unit type has variations according to areas.

12. • Dining complex which is now used as
a recreational and community centre.
PATHWAY
• With a mix of a street and squares ,the architect recreates
what he calls the ‘theatre of the street’, where public
interaction can spill from their immediate spaces as
neighbours into a community and works towards making them
active participants and not just viewers.
• The cubic
solids and
voids are
characteristic
of the Indian
urban fabric.
14. • Peripheral roads are connected to cul-de-sac parking
areas which in turn give access to individual garages
or car porches attached to houses or apartment block.
• The terraces formed on the upper
storeys provide for a semi- private
space .Reminding us of the
characteristics of the houses in
Jaisalmer.
• A cluster in Asian games village –the basic unit of
four apartments is designed in such a way that it
can be linked with cantilevers on ends and partly
on fronts to create a variety of interlinking spaces.
15.
16.
17. • The units has been designed so that it can form a cluster
with either four or six units to create a variety of inner
spaces.
• A typical block designed in a way that it can be linked at all
ends, including the front and can combine as different
permutations that mix and merge to shape new elements,
each adding a different experience.
• With a restricted budget ,wanting minimal issues with
construction and maintenance, the architect choose
Jaisalmer stone grit as an external finish, using variations to
distinguish the unit types, but in harmony with the whole.
• The combination of grit with cement also helped fortify the
9” bricks against water leakage.
