In recent years, #Sustainability has become a buzzword in all industries and aspects of life - from grocery to fashion to architecture. In reality, crafting genuinely environmentally responsible and responsive spaces requires a comprehensive, lifecycle-oriented approach. Truly sustainable design solutions are the ones that seamlessly integrate with the local ecosystem, ensuring that natural processes and biodiversity are preserved. For instance, the design for Auric Hall in Aurangabad maximises natural light and ventilation through passive solar strategies, incorporating a north-facing atrium and modular jaali to optimise daylight and minimise heat gain. Complementing passive strategies with active solutions like photovoltaic panels enhances energy efficiency, while rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment systems further bolster sustainability. Material selection is equally critical; using locally sourced materials with low embodied energy, such as Compressed Earth Brick (CSEB) at Symbiosis University Hospital in Pune, significantly reduces energy consumption and operational costs. By embracing these principles, we can create truly sustainable environments that benefit both people and the planet, demonstrating that sustainability is as much about the process as it is about the product. #IMKArchitects #SustainableDesign #Architecture #PassiveStrategies #Materiality

To build better infrastructure for a greener future, we design for, by and with our surroundings. Our design process includes translating the understanding of context and climate into form and orientation and using local materials as its building blocks. In our project AURIC Hall, Aurangabad, we have used the following strategies: 🟠Reduced the area of heat-absorbing surfaces by implementing specific measures. Out of a total of 170 car parks, 52.94% (90 spaces) are provided with undercover parking. 🟠Covered 100% of the total roof area using high-reflective materials, which equals 3,000 square metres 🟠Designed the landscape to reduce the heat island effect by promoting natural cooling and minimising heat-absorbing surfaces. 🟠Minimised solar heat gain and controlled airflow through the building to regulate internal and surrounding temperatures by incorporating a distinctive jaali screen made of aluminium inspired by the motifs used in traditional Mughal architecture. 🟠Minimised heat gain using multiple double-height green pocket terraces on the southern side to help reduce the heat island effect. #IMKArchitects #UrbanHeatIsland #ClimateResponsiveDesign #EnergyEfficientDesign

The Price of Competency—How Excellence in One Area Can Define the Results of Every Aspect of the Project. It is a simple tweak of a mindset that accomplished a very important project in only a month, which became a pioneering project that set up a new standard of architecture in Gujarati, India. Reaching high performance and excellent results may be challenging for most people. Because that would mean they have to stop slacking, rearranging plans, create new habits, and let all out of their workforce. However, in this case, it is an adoption of tools of the latest technology that skyrocketed the workforce of the entire organization. Once VYOM started to use STAAD. The team finds a new spirit to maximize the amount of their workforce and the impact of their work, realizing their project in the most effective way while also efficiently cutting down on expenses. In a miraculous effort, VYOM managed to cut down a whole year of the projected deadline to only just one month to finish the drawing of the entire building design using STAAD. Upon realizing the possibility of using STAAD and its ultimate impact they are looking forward to a great leap in other aspects of the project as well. In which they have also achieved tremendously. When designing the building, the original plan was to create four separate buildings: three towers and one core structure. However, when VYOM began analyzing the design in STAAD, the project team realized that this initial design proposal was not economical. Instead, the team used STAAD to create a new, optimized design to be more cost-efficient. The project team decided to connect all the buildings together, saving money and time. STAAD saved significant and allowing for nearly 70 design iterations to be performed for both design approaches and the final design. Finally, upon its completion, K10 Grand became a pioneering office building that is defining new standards of commercial spaces in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. When you start to be competent on one aspect. Everything will follow suit. It will not just be a perfect design. But also perfect structure, perfect system, and perfect environment that is livable #construction #engineering #software #bentley

#TheNexBigThing Update 14: Busy admiring the aesthetic symmetry of Vadodara✨ Photo 1: Vadodara is a town that is a confluence of patriotism, architecture, heritage, culture, as well as modern aspirations. Every element that embodies what #TheNexBigThing represents. This picture reminds us of that. Photo 2: Sayaji Rao Gaekwad III, attributed for creating Vadodara into a wealthy state and a blend of nature and development. This garden in the form a park, that is big enough to have a palace and a zoo inside, is an important sustainability touchpoint for us.⚡ Photo 3: Seeing this message not only inspires us, but also reinforces our entire faith in sustainability. Spotting this in the middle of our #K2K ride just gave us the extra boost we needed. Photo 4: Energetic mornings in Vadodara. We saw some folks playing Cricket in the field and our rider couldn't help but hit a few shots himself. Lots of love from the local cricketers since The Nex Big Thing just bowled them over. 🏏 Photo 5: The architecture, the palaces, and the history of Vadodara. It all takes us down the memory lane, looking back at the history of our journey as a country into becoming the superpower we are today. Similarly, The Nex Big Thing also set off on a path 15 years ago - a journey that set in stone the fundamentals for creating something as iconic as this. Photo 6: The brilliant Lakshmi Villa Palace. Established in 1890 by architect Major Charles; a symbol of endurance and global confluence of culture. How the tables turn, since now India's become the architect, and The Nex Big Thing's being the global icon. 👀 Keep an eye out for the Nex update! #KashmirToKanyakumari #TheNexBigTour #HarGullyElectric #AmpereTakeCharge #AmpereEV #AmpereElectricScooters #ElectricScooter #GreavesElectricMobility #EV #SustainableMobility #StyleMeetsSustainability #Journey #LimitedK2KEditionScooter

Interesting observation: Have you ever noticed how some buildings in our beloved city seem to be creeping closer and closer to the roadsides? 🏘️ This intriguing phenomenon is a result of the recent changes in the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR) that govern the construction activities in Pune and other parts of Maharashtra. So, let's dive into the fascinating world of side margins for residential plots in Pune and understand how these regulations ensure a well-planned and livable urban environment. 🚀 **Side Margins for Residential Plots: A Breath of Fresh Air 😀** When it comes to constructing residential buildings, side margins play a crucial role in creating a comfortable and well-ventilated living space. Here's how the side margin requirements are determined: 1. **Small Plots (up to 1,000 sq.m.)**: No side margins are required, allowing you to maximize your space. 🏡 2. **Medium-sized Plots (above 1,000 sq.m. and up to 4,000 sq.m.)**: A side margin of 1 meter is mandatory on each side. 📏 3. **Large Plots (exceeding 4,000 sq.m.)**: Side margins are determined by the regulations for non-congested areas, which generally require larger margins. 🏘️ **Side Margins and Building Height: A Balanced Approach 🏢** As the height of a residential building increases, so do the side margin requirements. This ensures adequate light and ventilation for the taller structures. Here's how it works: - **Buildings up to 15 meters in height**: Follow the side margin requirements mentioned above. 📐 - **Buildings above 15 meters and up to 24 meters in height**: The side or rear marginal distance on all sides, except the front side, shall be a minimum of H/5, where H is the height of the building above the ground level. 📏 So, whether you're a homeowner, developer, or an architect, embrace these guidelines and contribute to the growth of our beloved city. Happy constructing, Pune! 🏗️🌇 #UDCPR #Pune #RealESTATE #Land

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of locally sourced and eco-friendly materials. For the Symbiosis University Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, we wanted to design a façade which required minimum maintenance. This influenced us to use Compressed Stabilised Earth Bricks (CSEB), an alternative low-cost carbon-neutral building material. From creating to using sundried bricks, our experience is as follows: 🟠A blend of red soil, sand and murum was chosen after extensive research and experimenting with locally available soils 🟠The brick mixture was stabilised with 5% cement to ensure their durability. 🟠Using an on-site block-making machine, the blocks were created, thus cutting carbon emissions. 🟠The bricks were sundried instead of kiln-fired, making it an extremely environmentally friendly process. 🟠The porosity of CSEB reduces internal heat gain, allowing for maximum thermal comfort and reduced energy consumption. 🟠The flexibility of the bricks allowed for innovation in designing different façade compositions through brick boxing, creating a strong visual identity. #IMKArchitects #Brick #Sustainable #BuildingMaterial #BuildBetter #CarbonFootprint
