DFI has come up with Low Cost Housing Design project
BDI Ambaram
In an endeavour to provide super design value to the clients, DFI has come up with another low cost housing Design project segment, an intervention to solve the affordability problem. The project has been especially designed for the masses who are looking for the same comfort and security of a self-owned home that the more fortunate middle class enjoys.
Located in Bhiwadi, close to the city; the site is insulated from the urban chaos defining an upcoming wholesome development.By offering safe, efficient and well equipped residential township, the project not only urbanizes but urbanizes well, fostering growth by giving people with higher-than-average residential options. The use of modular construction has helped in cutting down on the cost and construction time of the project; finished in 14 months, and delivered to the end user 4 months prior to the agreed date of delivery.
In affordable housing like this, the amenities have been made to match with the initial price point and the maintenance costs during the lifecycle of the building. The housing scheme has been designed sensitively, keeping in mind the needs of the end user.
The site welcomes the visitors with a beautiful Palm lined entry boulevard. Spread across 13 acres, the housing is a Low Density settlement since cost of land was low, allowing for low-rise development. These low rise towers have been tastefully done, despite the costing. The economizing has been done by the virtue of unit sizes, without compromising on the quality.
The High rise towers are aligned on the North-South Axis, hence allowing 50% of the units get morning sun, other 50% get afternoon sun. The Streets were designed such that they get day-long sun.
DFI chose the 8 to a core plan for dwelling units in the affordable segment; with fat plus shaped arrangement which has two units in each of its wings. As a result of the compactness of the cluster plan, the area required under circulation is substantially lower than say a linear corridor plan, with the added advantage of all units getting ventilation, light and most importantly visual privacy from another unit.The plus-shaped towers allow for joining two or more together and shaping a geometric site arrangement. Densification of units in the towers allowed for rarefication of the overall building footprint on the site.
In a fiercely competitive market, landscaping is becoming one of the differentiators for the projects to stand out. Much attention has been given to the landscape details to integrate the functional and sustainable aspects of the design while offering the perfect outdoor setting and landscape zones. The landscape has been evolved with the design and development of the built spaces, adding value to the living experience of the residents, notwithstanding the amount of budget. The planning of open spaces has been critically done, not only in terms of decorative elements, but also the functional usage by cleverly incorporating services, utilities and drainage systems etc.

Editor’s Note: Some places feel rooted because they belong to their surroundings rather than trying to stand apart from them. Coffee Sangam in Andhra Pradesh takes this approach through a raw, tactile palette of brick, stone, teak, and mild steel. The random rubble compound wall extends the landscape into the architecture, while the Corten steel […]

Editorial Note: Some homes are shaped by the memories, objects, and stories their residents carry with them. Ungana in Chennai, meaning “merge” in Swahili, brings together a well-travelled family’s collection of antiques and everyday rituals within a narrow urban plot. A double-height living space becomes the heart of the home, connecting the kitchen and dining […]

The residence connects a sequence of interconnected spaces around a dramatic triple-height atrium. The atrium forms the heart […]
A Mock-up That Became a Home – For an architecture practice, a mock-up often helps test an idea before the team translates it into a larger project. It allows architects to work at full scale, examine materials and construction techniques, and understand their limitations. The process also gives them room to test different brick bonds and […]
The house began not with a formal brief, but with a conversation about the kind of life the clients hoped to build within it. Set between the denser urban fabric of Kannur and the quieter residential landscapes of North Kerala, the project responds to a desire for openness and connection. At the same time, the […]
“Pravah” — A House That Breathes is envisioned as the main concept of this home revolves around a fluid, light-filled home where architecture becomes a continuous experience of movement, air, and connection. Located in Pal Gamtal, Surat, the project is a residential redevelopment on a 1,850 sq.ft. plot within a dense urban fabric. The site, […]

These outdoor spaces maximize the living experience with their private space feature, which gives one the option for leisurely relaxation, recreation, or gardening. Furthermore, it has also been a […]
