Project Description

FROM BALKRISHNA DOSHI:

“They are not houses but homes where a happy community lives. That is what finally matters.” Aranya Low Cost Housing accommodates over 80,000 individuals through a system of houses, courtyards and a labyrinth of internal pathways.

“It seems I should take an oath and remember it for my lifetime: to provide the lowest class with the proper dwelling.” The community is comprised of over 6,500 residences, amongst six sectors – each of which features a range of housing options, from modest one-room units to spacious houses, to accommodate a range of incomes.
