A abandoned beach with a scenic view of Bandra worli sealink structure, it is an academic project of semester 06 for Landscape section. Brief was to design the beachfront for public recreational activities. As there are limited developed beach front in Mumbai for public.
View from site location towards Bandra Worli Sea link.
As per functionality, privacy hierarchy and view vantage points, keeping proposed structure sunken.
Existing site condition
Proposed structure sunken in sand without hurting nature.

HowMumbaikars will rejuvenate?
SHIFT
Due to less of quality and approachable open spaces People opting to spend theirmajor recreational time on Alternative Amenities (Multiplexes, discotheques, pubs, junk food restaurants, OTTplatforms.)
Reasoning to this Public open spaces are getting encroached (Slum dwellers,developers)
Due to thisMumbai issuffering with lack of Public open spaces (Currently itis1.24 Sq.m/person; as per UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
ECOLOGY
The Relationsof organismto one another and to theirphysical surroundings Ecology stands on 4principles
Governmentwantsto revive ZOO
Reviving zoo will result into harming animals again
Instead of zoo. Ithas tobe a human interaction space, think tank
Open spaces encroachment
Encroachment of Open spacesare mostly because of their dying state
Listof dying open spaces
Jijamata udyan isone of prominent open space can be revive to set an example for government and citizens

Government will be required to initiate competition :Public Participation program
Where people must visit Jijamata udyan (Site); the proposed site above to study the possibility, method to maintain and to earn money from Open spaces. Principal idea of this program is to get back all encroached and defunct open spaces of Mumbai city withpublic participation.
A competition isfor all listed encroached open spaces,residual defunctopen paces in particular wards and neighborhood.
Competition demands and idea for the setup of 10- 20open spaces annually
10-20 ideas
Best 5 –10 ideaswillget selectby jury and scrutinize by design, planner and all req. official.
After go ahead from bodies & Governmentwill fund the project and assign contractorteam to develop the same
Idea is to build neighborhood community and take care of the particular open space to sustain it longer. Thismay improvise mental, physical and social health.
Hence, Architecture setup requirement;for the upcoming body (Who’s going to teach the methods as well as take care of all the norms and regulations for this program)
Simultaneously going to run this institute which resides; (Bio domes, Botanical expo block, Ecology center, Visitor center, Souvenir arena, Amphitheatre, Filtration pond and garden) (Jijamata udyan) –As a centralized prototype (incubation) for Citizens and tourists.
Ecology body isan upcoming dedicated body for Mumbai open spaces, which will run under M.C.G.M (Municipal body of theCity Mumbai)
Basalt quarry
“ Its really about allowing nature to re-establish itself ”
A completely barren basalt quarry restoration landscape design is done by M/S.Prabhakhar P Bhagwat Associate, a landscape firm, over a period of eight yearsfrom 1977 to 1985.

There are close to 3000 mines in India that produce various minerals. Close to Vadodara sits a former basalt quarry that speaks to the resilience of nature; a site that forces one to question the various manners in which we interact with nature.
Task:
while I was interning at PBB, got the opportunity to do research and make presentation on this pre-eminent project, and it taught me, how to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. Guided and inspired me, to work more on thisagenda.
The top soil waslayered on the rock;thistop soil became mulch and created the microenvironments necessary for the growth of grasses, native shrubs, and trees.
Natural mother earth Mined for mineralsextraction
Mining process stopped and restoration begins
Quarry isnow protected forest.
“What was once a barren quarry is now a protected forest.”
A nearby seasonal streams was diverted to fill the quarry basin.
In the making for close to 8 years - the site is a result of in-depth knowledge and a curated process that ultimately led to the rejuvenation of land and the creation of multiple microecosystems.
It has allowed for interactions between the variousforms of flora and also fauna.
The site is a rejection of the conventionally accepted hierarchy between man and nature.
The outcome was clear – to create a selfsustaining ecosystem.
“The idea of designing this space by not only just for recreation, but also spaces that have begun to lend a sense of identity to the city. They have been a response to the existent plant material, and to the relationship with the water bodies that surround it.”
Task:
• Designdevelopment process diagram of Phase - I
• Siteanalysis diagram
• Masterlayout rendering
• Physical hand model for study.
The wetlands that have been incorporated into the design of this park sit adjacent to a public lake. The development of the lake required working with various NGOs invested within thisarea.
Ihave worked with design team during my Internship (2015) and continued as Junior Architect for execution in 2017-2018.

Linear Park, spread over 6000 odd sq.mts, sits in the shadow of one of the tallest residential buildings - World One. It is a zigzag strip of land between a towering residential building and an extremely busy road and is divided into four zones; each zone comprising symbolic representationsof places in the city.

Task:
• Sketches for Conceptual development stage
• Siteanalysis

• Siteexecution I have worked with design team during my Internship (2015) and continued as Junior Architect for execution in 2017-18.
“Gardens can be considered to be counterparts to the urban built fabric; opposite and compatible simultaneously. ”
An intensive exercise in spacemaking; a design that supports the idea of living that is intertwined with the existing landscape within the space. It celebrates that which was, and imagines an extension of a life that is already expressing itself. The planning of the space in question was about building connections; and then about preservation.
The overall space is an experimentation with materiality; and continuously transgressing boundaries between the built and the natural – becoming a backdrop for a long-established method of living.
Ihave been the part of very intense Site analysis process and developing conceptual ideas forthe landscape design of thisvery large sitefull of orchards.
Ihave worked with design team during my Internship (2015).

CIDCO Social housing
Project aims to develop affordable houses for low income group people at req. transit points like bus depot , terminals, railways stations for Navi Mumbai people.
ArchitectHafeez Contractor,Mumbai
Task:
• Tender drawings
• Municipal drawings
• Fire NOC, EC Approval drawings
• Construction drawings
• Site coordination
Housing
At 6M height only below the required residential. This fulfills parking and leaves 60% of site open to air.
Openground/green
This portion is to be either left open to sky or be used as playground . It is about 50 to 60 % of the site.
Podium
Creation of new ground by placing podium
Bus /truck
TRANSIT
Services and activities be it a depot or terminus for a bus or truck happens on the ground level. Entry to both is segregated. The Ingress and egress is segregated
Ihave been part of thisproject since 2019fromTender stage.
Ihave worked with Design, Approval, Construction drawings, Site coordination team and lead them.
IDEA OF THEPROJECT
Project distributed in 4 packages for 26 plots for client CIDCO. This is an affordable housing for lower income group people. Sites selected considering transit oriented development (TOD). So, selected sites are existing Bus depots, terminals, terminals, stations Truck railways without removing the exiting functionality of the place.
Design idea is to provide the housing with commercial for people travelling from Navi Mumbai to Mumbai for their jobs on daily basis and creating simultaneously great amenities like open spaces, club houses, rainwater harvesting, solar panels,MLCPs.
Podium open spaces and open parking
Station forecourt development Fitnesscenter and ample amountof RG areas
Separate entry/exit for residential and transit points MLCP buildingsforhigher density areas
