Construction Times’ Post

From concept to reality...

DP Features | Ahmedabad The house has two different blocks, for father and son, graciously elevating and linking them with entertainment areas at the upper level. This link between the two blocks is not just physical but also symbolic. It signifies the bridge /link between generations, ideologies and experiences. Hence it is called as “The Link House”. The journey begins with a dynamic bridge flowing over water bodies and greens. As one ascends anticipation builds creating an aura of mystery and delight. Each step taken is a step into unexpected, setting the tone for extraordinary experiences and views that lie beyond.

Exploring the Old Streets of Ahmedabad: A Study in Urban Design As part of our group project, we explored Old Ahmedabad, analyzing key urban design principles—Visual Aesthetics, Ergonomics, Enclosure, Permeability, Proximity, Circulation & Movement, and Scale & Proportion—through real-world observations. From the visual charm of heritage facades to the ergonomic design of street seating, we saw how urban elements shape daily life. The enclosure of narrow lanes, permeability of doorways, and proximity of mixed-use spaces all contribute to a dynamic, walkable environment. Observing circulation and movement, we studied how people and vehicles interact in these organic streets, while scale and proportion reinforced the intimate character of the city. This project deepened our appreciation for human-centric urban design and the timeless wisdom embedded in historic cities. How do you see these principles influencing modern urban spaces? #Design #CreativeDesign #DesignInspiration #DesignThinking #DesignLife #ArtAndDesign #InteriorDesign #Architecture #SpaceDesign #HomeDecor #ModernDesign #SustainableDesign

Residential Architecture @ Jaipur Courtyard House, Jaipur The courtyard house was an exploration to evolve architectural form as a response to the strong context addressing parameters such as climate, amalgamation of local building materials, construction techniques and craftsmanship creating a building which is a reflection of the lifestyle for the residents. The wind movement guides the proportions of the courtyard enabling the spaces to be naturally ventilated and lit throughout the year. Deep colonnaded external verandahs in this semi-arid climatic zone while prevents the excessive heat to directly penetrate into the façade during summers also responds to winters where it is utilized more for outdoor seating. On the other hand, the internal courtyard which reaches deep into the house, blurring the boundary between inside and outside, is an ideal summer gathering space. Designed for a traditional Indian, close-knit joint family that loves spending time with each other, the emphasis is to ensure a variety of semi-open and enclosed common spaces that encourage a sense of togetherness and community spaces that holds a large family together - celebration of 03 generations living together. The courtyard house has series of motifs forming ever-changing shadows on the walls and geometrically designed flooring patterns with the movement of the sun over the day. #residentialarchitecture #CourtyardLiving #ArchitecturalExploration #ContextualDesign #ClimateResponsive #LocalMaterials #Craftsmanship #NaturalVentilation #SustainableArchitecture #ColonadedVerandahs #SemiAridClimate #OutdoorLiving #InternalCourtyard #BlurringBoundaries #TraditionalDesign #JointFamilyLiving #SunShadowPatterns

”Thinking Hands and Drawing Brains” #ASketchaDay #Day11 Sketch Title: A humble experience at Hridhaya Kunj, Gandhiji’s house, Ahmedabad. Sketch Credits: Godwin Emmanuel Jeyaraj Simplicity at Hridhaya Kunj: A Glimpse into Gandhiji's Living Space Hridhaya Kunj, Gandhiji’s house, is a testament to simplicity. The layout is straightforward, with rooms arranged around a central courtyard. The window details, with their delicate wooden frames, are a striking feature. The roof, supported by slender wooden beams, casts interesting shadows. The courtyard, a space for reflection and meeting, is the heart of the house. The separate rooms for Gandhiji and his wife, Kasturba, reflect their shared living space while respecting their individual needs. It's a humble experience, offering a glimpse into Gandhiji's space, routines, and philosophies. #ArchitecturalSketching #SiteAnalysis #TransectWorkshop #DesignThinking #Architecture #TravelSketching #ArchitecturalJourney #IndiaTravels #ExploreIndia #ArtAndArchitecture #travellingtransectworkshop #Gandhiji #HridhayaKunj #SimpleLiving #HistoricalHomes #Travelogue

why your furniture doesn't fit in your premium apartment! I’m working on a few interior design projects for small/premium apartments across Chennai. I’ve noticed a pattern: these apartments, when examined at the furniture layout level, are very disorganized. For the price customers pay, the spaces are barely functional. While these apartments are located in prime areas with premium amenities, the floorplans are simply disjointed rooms separated by walls, lacking clearly defined spaces for essential needs. For example, I saw a residence where the living room furniture was positioned perpendicularly to the TV wall, leaving no way to resolve the layout without wasting space. In another case, rooms lacked niches for wardrobes or with windows/switch boxes obstructing the necessary 600mm depth. These projects, initially focused as interior design, often turn into renovation projects where clients even request civil changes to their new apartments. To address this, Architects and developers need to collaborate on creating functional layouts that maximize space while ensuring adequate walkable carpet areas. Simply including ‘dedicated spaces’ can greatly enhance design quality and offer long-term benefits to homebuyers. Basic functionality cannot be confused for luxury! What’s your take on this? ______________________ I'm Sameer, an Architect and the founder of PromptArchitects•ai.
