Choices of form through flexibility of design - at Aranya variations
in street facing-elements, within the standardized layout, help
each house gain a unique character, these enrich street façade
and help users express their identity.
ARANYA HOUSING
The ideological basis for planning Aranya has been the following:
Flexibility – to evolve framework that absorbs with ease the progressive change and
growth as a part of natural development process

SITE LVL PLANNING
Topography of the site was important determinant in planning roads, and other service
networks to maximize use of gravity flow and minimize the cut and fill of land.
Introduction of open slot around service core combines twice as many toilets per
manhole and cuts down pipe lengths to half, achieving economic efficiency
The service slot has been integrated as design element helping break the continuous
built mass
The formal street network draws the vehicular traffic outward to the perimeter road
while pedestrian traffic on informal pathways and open space network flows in the
opposite direction achieving clear and safe segregation of slow and fast moving traffic.
Non-rectilinear alignment of streets with varying widths, bends and widening are
provided to accommodate range of spontaneous human activities.

FLEXIBLE LAYOUT
ARANYA HOUSING
Six sectors, with populations of 7000-12,000, lie to the east and west of the spine
Ten houses, each with a courtyard at the back, form a cluster that opens onto a street.
The site plan accommodates and integrates a variety of income groups. The poorest are in
the middle of each of the six sectors, while the better off along the peripheries of each
sector and the central spine.
Most of the income groups buy only a house plot. Available to the poorest, in addition to
the plot itself, are a concrete plinth, a service core, and a room.
The down payment is based on the average income of the family, the loan balance being
paid in monthly installments.
Brick, stone, and concrete are available locally, but owners are free to use any material they
choose for house construction and decoration
