About Studio The studio specializes in designing expansive green field developments within urban settings, addressing the demand for urban expansion. Governments support such developments through various mechanisms, with two key approaches being Integrated Township Policy (developer-driven) and Town Planning Schemes (government-driven). Both involve creating street networks, public spaces, and infrastructure, defining land use, building height, and bulk. The outcome significantly influences the livability of these areas, emphasizing the importance of integrating urban design sensitivity into the process, especially in crafting public spaces and defining the overall urban character of the developments.

Process Work Designing the Masterplan Framework
Designing the Built around the open space
The process of delayering of street hierarchy, NMT network and blue- green network in order to plan a holistic pedestrian network.
The process included zoning of typologies, orientation of built form, locating open spaces, adding hierarchy of open spaces, and integrating the built and open.
“Urban settlements where open spaces and built densities converge to create a community”
