Thus it as imperative for the designing principle to be open ended,with there being no fixed program or size. The proposal therefore had to be flexible to allow for multiple extensions over time, while retaining the character of a single integrated proposal. The project is situated in a small village called Dhamini outside Karjat. The design takes inspiration from the context, the seemingly haphazard arrangement of the village forms resulting in organic residual spaces, and allowing for seamless and potentially endless expansions and alterations. Shadow studies gave clues for the placement of ‘runs’, open to sky areas that are connected to indoor spaces where animals can be contained but roam freely in the outdoors all day. These runs form the soft landscaping. Hard landscaping came about through the introduction of stepped platforms, platforms that respected the natural terrain and served as the element that tied together the scattered forms into a cohesive project.The form taken on by the proposal was a contemporary adaptation of the vernacular village form with simple rectangular forms, pitched roofs, high ceiling with specifically located ventolators that forced the hot air out through passive cooling. The idea was furthered by continuing the use of the village vernacular aesthetic in construction techniques as well as in its use of vibrant and often discordant colors. Thus each of the structures begins to develop it’s own identity.Currently in its first phase of the development , the design houses 7 individual structures
