Vadodara is the third largest city in Gujarat. Architecture in Vadodara has range from many well known traditional buildings to some contemporary styles as well. Our design was for the future of architecture students in India because of which contemporary styles with traditional building materials was considered as main concept. Design is based on fluidity in architectural spaces. Grand open spaces allows the human mind to wonder, imagine and think out of the box while smaller intimate spaces allow them to concentrate. A blend of both these spaces create the perfect environment for a budding architect.
The main block is twisted to aproach a form according to which the further development progressed accordingly
The segregration of spaces is done in such a manner that semi-public, public and exclusive areas are intermittent
Concept of twisting was used for the facade. The walls and the roofs are integrated
Facade details were added which include wooden fins over curtain walls and louvered detailing

The aim of the project is to envision an intentional community in cohousing. The community shall consist of 40 to 60 families.
The concept of separated yet connected has been incorporated in this design at all levels from site plan to individual unit plans. Each unit is separated from the other by walls but connected through open corridors, community spaces and landscaping.
