INTRODUCTION:
Pune is one of the fastest urbanizing cities in India due to rapid increase in
population and migration of people from varied cultural backgrounds. Here, the
potential residents vary from a group of individuals to a nuclear family sharing a
unit with more room in lesser affordable carpet area.

SITE DESCRIPTION:
The site is surrounded by high rise apartments with a plot of 1800
Sq.m. oddly L shaped with a combination of square shape
appropriate for apartment on south west and long rectangular strip
for clubhouse in north east.
Surrounded by highrise building from three sides, low rise development would
have struggled for light and ventilation.
Further the odd shaped site would not allow the horizontal spanning of
building, so zephyr happened to be 11 storied high rise building. The building is
divided into north and south block to achieve light, ventilation and view from
all sides connected with service core at the centre.
South block is further tilted to catch and create south west wind pressure. The
open terrace of each unit maintains the cross ventilation and connectivity with
other units of the block.
Each unit has toilet ducts and dry balcony on east west facade to provide
thermal barrier and windows on north –south for ventilation to primary
habitable spaces.
SITE PLAN
Surrounded by highrise building from three
sides, low rise development would have
struggled for light and ventilation.
Further the odd shaped site would not allow
the horizontal spanning of building, so zephyr
happened to be 11 storied high rise building.
The building is divided into north and south
SCREEN
The two blocks have perforated concrete screen that protects from sun, rain and
traffic noise and gives a homogeneous appearance to the building.
STAGGERED WINDOW
The staggered angular
windows of each unit open in
the direction for south wind
maintaining privacy from the
opposite unit. Each bedroom
has ribbon window providing
panoramic view with low
lintel for optimum light
without glare. The perforation
varies with respect to the
space and its usability with
privacy, maintaining thermal
comfort to the users.
