Design Dissertation Fire Station, Byculla, Mumbai
6 // Document Titile
State buildings build the identity of a country. They influence not just the physical environment outside but also the work environment within as well as the mentality of citizens to a great extent. Most of the government buildings in India, sadly, do not seize this opportunity to induce progress – due to lack of effort, they fall flat and continue to remain uninspired and uninspiring. It is to combat this monotony that I have chosen to design a fire station. This decision is based on the concept that a well-designed building improves the cleanliness and basic impression of it’s immediate vicinity. Take, for example the Mumbai University building. It’s massive structure itself is impressive, but set against the foreground of Oval Maidan, it turns into a sophisticated, iconic building that has the power to command respect, which naturally prevents people from littering and dirtying the surroundings. In this way, iconic buildings have a sphere of influence whose standards are always maintained for the sole reason that it must project an image worthy of housing such a structure. Corresponding to this, smaller, wellmade structures can also obtain a sphere of influence, albeit smaller. But if the structure in question is one that is regularly repeated throughout the country in both urban and rural scenarios, it will create pockets of civic betterment and cleanliness throughout the country, which together will lead to development.
Another reason I chose to make a Fire Station is that they serve as landmarks for the area. Further, as government buildings are public facilities, people are more at ease inside them than they would be in a private building. Common skepticism regarding the viability of this design due to matters such as corruption hampering it’s construction will be put forth. But overall development most definitely must focus on the eradication of such issues and thus, the creation of well-designed facilities without cutting corners will definitely serve as a testimony to the improving scene of many aspects of our country – cleanliness and sanitation, reducing corruption and, of course, architectural development. I hope to initiate progress, with a humble Fire Station.

The Administration Building is used by staff, officers, students and firemen simultaneously, completely exclusive of each other. The students are restricted to the Conference Room (q).The Wall divides the structure keeping firemen on one side and the staff and officers on the other. This way, both can carry on without disturbing each other.

First Aid and Control Room w A separate entrance is designed for Ambulances to directly reach the Emergency Rooms for increased efficiency. The Control Rooms are located on the Ground floor, just across the vehicular bays, so calls can be immediately passed on at a wireless range.
The Specialised Drill Tower e In situations where it isn’t possible for a Fire Brigade to reach a Building, it parks at the nearest viable niche, and an Ambulance is sent to the building. The ladder reaches out to the required height and victims are transferred directly to the waiting Ambulance. As these vehicles may not be at the same ground level in contoured parts, the drill tower is suitably designed with a ramp leading to the second floor level to stimulate similar instances.

Drill towers Currently, at the Byculla Fire Station, there are three 8-hr shifts for firemen per day, and each shift performs this drill once – a driver and four firemen drive a special appliance to the drill tower, and the four firemen jump off. Two off them attach the hose to the nearest fire hydrant while the other two run up to whichever floor of the drill tower being practised in that drill while the other end is being readied. When the connection has been made, the firemen on the tower signal those on the ground to turn on the water supply so they can hose down the hypothetical fire. This drill is performed with a timer to calculate the speed taken for reaching different floors. The drill tower pictured below is used to practise this drill. It is also equipped with a fire chute.
Vehicular Bays The relationship of a building with its surroundings is very intimate. The site of the Byculla Fire Station has a very long stretch bounded by the Eastern Highway, one of the main arterial roads of Mumbai. The compound wall has been replaced with vehicular bays to ensure that, rather than cordoning off the building on it’s most visible side, the one lining the highway, the open vehicular bays provide commuters with the view of a long line of big, red fire trucks forming a strong language. To increase the response time of the Fire Station, the Fire trucks, Water tankers, Sp. appliances , Jeeps and Ambulance are paked facing the street with a rolling shutter on the far side of the bay rather than the street side. The vehiles can immediately leave without being delayed by any obstruction without compromising on security. The waiting area for firemen is on the first floor of the same, with poles to drop down on call.
Design Dissertation // 13
Firemen’s Accomodation q The Dormitories in both buildings are bridged at the
First floor with common recreational spaces including T.T. tables, a Pool table, Foozeball tables and other indoor games. A common laundry room is also provided.
w The First Floor is further connected to a Class Room
on the Ground Floor that acts as an annexe between the residential block and the Admin Building. Students can directly go for classes without disturbing ongoing drills or outdoor training.
e A Fireman is expected to be fit and Physical Training
is an important part of their daily shifts. A common Gymnasium equipped to accommodate an entire shift (8 Firemen) is on the Ground Floor with an adjacent paved space (open to sky) for off shift enthusiasts. On occasions where AV presentations are required, students can be taken to the Conference Room in the Admin building via a separate entrance without disturbing the rest of the Admin.

The Residential Building accomodating Firemen with families is stepped so as to provide private balconies or terraces on every floor. Keeping with the area constraints for Firemen Housing, they allow room to breathe for their spouses and children other than the common open areas on the Ground floor and drastically improve living conditions.

Colaba, Mumbai
Town Planning, Fourth Year B.Arch The aim of the assignment was a comprehensive study of our site, which allowed an in depth understanding of it’s functioning, advantages and liabilities, followed by carefully thought out interventions. The site stretches from Shyamprasad Mukherjee Chowk , all the way to second Pasta Lane and from Gateway of India to Cooperage Maidan across. Our group had a strength of 12 students, and that made covering this fairly large site, relatively easier. We started with the history of the land and the human settlements. Why causeway was created, how it grew, the advent of the British, why was the gateway built, the Koli roots, the Bohri community, the enterprising Parsis, the elegant tramways, everything that shaped Colaba as it is today. We prepared an accurate base map and existing land use map. Further research included the study of Kevin Lynch’s five elements, namely - Nodes, paths, landmarks, districts and edges. We also studied the height, age, type and style of every building. Last, we studied the traffic of the area in detail, the frequencies on every road, parking, signals, bus routes, traffic patterns, the complete works.

Giving the COOPERAGE GROUND a new image.
Creating small public plazas, like POP GARDENS, utilising all unused spaces.
De-crowding COLABA CAUSEWAY by pushing the crowd out of Causeway and into the Edwardian avenues of Colaba, bringing out what it once was.
Re-using the space between the beautiful (and the only) RG on site, CYCLE PARK AND PUMPING STATION, as a open-to-sky fair/market space.
20 // Colaba, Mumbai
Alternative Transport System A research on how the traffic conditions can be improved and sustainable transport options can be introduced hand in hand. Colaba Causeway is crowded, vast number of cars maneuvering their way into cramped gallis and hoards of buses stopping in the middle of the road and spewing out of the Electric House Depot. We developed a Three tier system that meets these goals on a very realistic level.
The Rapid Transport Road The crafted Cycle Route The Dedicated Detour
1. Bhagat Singh Marg - a Rapid Transport Road, NO turns and dividers near staggered bus stops ( ) to avoid disrupting traffic. 2. A Detour to get into the gallis for those who aren’t just passing by. 3. A dedicated and safe Cycling Route with convenient Cycle stands marked -
Bringing Down the Wall The idea is to bring down the cooperage wall and relocate the football stands to the adjacent side of the ground ( where they won’t obstruct the view ) and erect a See Through fence instead. This is to create a drive through experience similar to that of oval maidan.
Colaba, Mumbai // 21
The Local Street Fair The idea was to locate suitable points to hold recreational activities or events to bring people into the heart of Colaba. The road next to cycle park is ideal, it is flanked by the park and a pumping station and can be freely blocked on weekends without disrupting traffic. Various stalls, vibrant buildings, pop gardens with comfortable street furniture lead people into this stretch where events, food stalls and street fairs can be organised on a weekly basis. Events Art Exhibitions, Talks or Symposiums, Music Concerts or Dance Events can be organised on weekends to generate awareness and further fuel the goal of emphasising the feeling of a community. Food Stalls Locals interested in participating may set up stalls to sell homemade edibles inviting the public into the interior streets of Colaba on weekends to decrowd Causeway and create a fun food fair experience. Street Fairs Residents may set up a market to sell household items they don’t need imitating the Western Concepts of yard sales. Old books, clothes, toys, furniture, hobby handicrafts etcetra would attract shoppers of all ages.

De-Crowding by pushing people inside Using niches and elements of facades De-crowding by bringing shops and pedestrians in the interior avenues of Colaba. This can be done by simply painting the interior buildings in vibrant colours and holding various events engaging the crowd.

Lobby Design
Key Plan - Ground floor
Sesen is a High end residential building. The lobby is 15m high and extremely lavish. A reception with a water featured wall as the background is planned at the entrance to run the admin functions of the building. Several meeting rooms and imtimate seating spaces are designed in the lobby at various levels intended to be used by residents for meeting formal guests who may not be escorted into the house. Water features, well kept green areas and modern furniture and fittings tie together the entire lobby.
Crown Design
While designing the Crown, several things were kept in mind. An unmistakable ‘S’ that could light up at night with a large viewglass to enjoy the panoramic view of the Arabian sea, Marine drive, Hanging gardens, The Towers of Silence, Wankhede Stadium, Malabar Hill, etc. Thick wooden fins hold up the main frame while keeping the terrace open. These fins also help buffer high speed winds at the height of 270m.

Masterplan
The site was studied to determine the best view corridors. The towers were thus placed on the right side of the plot and the rehab on the left. This assured a minimum 70m buffer from the Rehab towers and is alo the quietest part of the site. 4 different masterplan strategies namely the Crest, Cannon, Pavilion, ans Stagger were explored determining how the massing of the towers would affect privacy of residents keeping the best viewing angles. The pavilion unanimously succeeded at both. A 9m road was constructed abutting the naala, for users of the site and a 12m buffer was left from the face of the West tower. 6/3m setbacks were duly left as per fire safety norms.

Rehab Parking Statement
There are 4 Linear towers, with a driveway Total no. of parking required – 210 leading up to each tower. This leave space Total no. of parking provided for 2 massive linear RGs. However, since Ground (no. of cars – 19 cars) the entire parking is on the ground level, Triple Stack – 19 X 4 total car parks provided are only 35. Stack = 76 Parking has to be introduced to meet the Ground (no. of cars – 16 cars) required 212 car parks. Triple Stack – 16 X 4 = 64 Option 2 Basement (no. of cars – 36 cars) The extra driveway required for the Single Stack – 16 X 2 basement eats into one RG, compromising = 72 green space. But it allows for future development scope and is hence under Total no. of parking provided = 212 consideration.
