The Co [HAB]
Project description
The Idea of the project was to design a larger student district under which housing units, recreational spaces and working spaces were provided. Keeping the design simple and compact along with integrating the nature around was the approach taken. Shared spaces instill a sense of community and hence the name Co[HAB]. The design here doesn't just limit itself to the design program but rather talks about a larger urban vision for the city. Thus, looking at sustainability from a holistic lens.
