Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: A series of low rise volumes amidst open courtyards
and landscaped gardens create 61 executive guest
house, 47 hostel for bachelor accommodation & 18
studio apartments. Located in Ras, Rajasthan in In-
dia, the planning of the internal spaces respond to
the desert climate of the location. Deeply recessed
windows, open and sheltered courtyards, naturally
ventilated circulation spaces & cross ventilated liv-
ing spaces contribute towards reduced heat gain
and naturally cooled interiors.
Each part of this housing development is
planned at the existing levels of a contoured site
with contour differences of 3 to 8 metres, resulting
in economy of construction, minimal cutting ad fill-
ing of soil & a resultant height variation that creates
character. The organic layout of the housing is de-
rived from old Indian cities with constantly varying
scales and changing of axis to create individuality
for each part of the housing.
