Project: Aananda Manglam Township, Jaipur; Architects: GPM Architects
The project is located in Sanganer area, which is being developed as an extension to Jaipur city. Spread over an area of 35 acres and designed for a luxurious lifestyle, this 'complete city' promotes sustainable habitats. With an emphasis on pedestrian-friendly green areas, the township integrates all essential facilities for a rejuvenating experience.
The township is located 4.5km from the international airport, close to Sanganer Railway Station and 4km from Jawahar Nagar Circle. Taking inspiration from the traditional street- courtyard concept for arid habitats, where a system of transition-public to semi-private to private-is planned. A network of streets leads from the main vehicular peripheral road to the central green area, where the streets act as spill-out spaces for residents. This enables a large green area, which acts as the highlight for the development.
The residential units are centred around the large linear central park, which is set to delight residents of all age groups. An inviting avenue greets the residents towards a central roundabout which is designed as an amphitheatre that emphasises the importance of social spaces in the design. A network of streets leads from the peripheral road to the central green area. Each residential block is accessed through these streets. Streets act as semi-public spill-out spaces for the residents; hence acting as a transition space from public to private.
