Architecture+DesignSummary: Taking a cue from the old city streets of Mathura city in India where the project is located, this 800 room students’ hostel creates organic spaces. Designed in four level high, five linear blocks, the built spaces snake across a wedge-shaped site twisting and turning along their length. Sitting adjacent to the repetitive hostel blocks on the east and west, these new hostels within a large university campus create individual spaces with a discernible identity in each part of the layout.
The orientation of all the buildings are done with a view of generating large north facing garden areas overlooking a vast playground towards the north. In addition, each hostel room is punctuated with a wedge-shaped bay window oriented towards the north and the playground.
Each hostel room has ventilation openings in the internal corridor facilitating cross ventilation. The linear buildings create small break out spaces at each bending point allowing natural light into the internal circulation spaces.
