INTRODUCTION
◦ PROJECT INFORMATION
◦ A. Project Category : Mixed Use (Residential & Office Complex)
◦ B. Major user Category : Middle Income to Higher Income Groups
◦ C. Location : Bhubaneswar

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The idea is to take a commercial zone in the core of the city and develop it vertically into a mixed use zone
with various uses incorporated in it including but not limited to residences, office complexes and commercial
spaces.

SOCIAL RELEVANCE
• There has been a massive flux of population into the city in recent times, leading to
uncontrolled growth in and around the city.
• The proposed project could be a means of controlling the development and guiding it in a
systematic manner.
• The project also aims to create a sustainable environment by reducing the travel distances and
hence decreasing emissions.
• There is also scope for future development of green spaces in the existing site.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
AIM OF THE PROJECT
To redevelop Esplanade into a mixed use complex consisting of residential, office and commercial zones.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

1. To design a green and sustainable complex which would be self reliant using renewable energy.
2. To have ample amount of green spaces (using native and local species) in the complex for relaxation,
aesthetics and environmental gains.
3. To design a sustainable and futuristic project which would relevant for the next 100 years at least.
4. Arrangement of the zones to create minimal mutual disturbance while still being cognizant of the overlap of
uses.
JUSTIFICATION
ACADEMIC RELEVANCE
1. This project would help us
apply the knowledge and
information gained while
designing residences and
commercial spaces in
conjunction to each other.
2. We would need to research
spaces required for multifaceted
purpose and conduct critical
case studies of relevant spaces
and designs.
RESEARCH PROBLEMS
1. Design of circulation to and
from site to multiple entries and
exits to the variety of use cases.
2. Arrangement of the zones to
create minimal mutual disturbance
while still being cognizant of the
overlap of uses.
3. Internal circulation and
wayfinding to minimize confusion
4. Separating and overlapping the
services as required.
LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
1. Bhubaneswar is the capital city of the
state of Odisha, with healthy and safe living
conditions and ample opportunity for
economic growth ; As a result of which there
has been an unforeseen population influx
leading to haphazard growth of the city even
though it was initially a planned city.
2. Population rose from 8.5 lacs in 2011 to
12 lacs in 2021 and is expected to grow up
to 16 lacs by 2032.
3. This requires investment in city’s
residential and office real estate.

SCOPES AND LIMITATIONS
Scopes:
1. Design of the tower(s) in detail, including space program, furniture placements, and circulation.
2. Design of the parking and external circulation to and from the project.
3. Design of the services and landscapes.
4. Design of the building envelope for sustainability purposes.
5. Design of Green Building features to be used in the building.
6. Design of the master-plan.

Limitations:
1. The design of the foundation and the columns are not designed structurally.
2. The acquisition of the plot is not taken into consideration.
3. The sewerage and plumbing is not to be designed.
4. HVAC systems is not to be designed in detailed, only recommended systems for sustainability is to be
specified in the project
