Design Book Case Study

The Street is a 211,000 square foot, 800-unit student housing complex located on the campus of GLA University in Mathura, India. Designed by Mumbai-based Sanjay Puri Architects, the complex consists of radially aligned four-story structures situated on a wedge-shaped site. The organic layout takes advantage of the site shape to create garden spaces of varying widths and changing perspectives along the pedestrian paths. Sustainable features include north-facing rooms and windows for natural lighting and ventilation, as well as rainwater harvesting and solar panels.

BookCase Study
The Street, designed by Mumbai, India–based Sanjay Puri Architects,
is a 211,000-square-foot, 800-unit student housing complex on the
campus of GLA University in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India.
The designers took advantage of a wedge-shaped site between
repetitive blocks to create a complex of radially aligned four-story-tall
structures informed by the more organic organisation and expression
of traditional Indian cities.

PROJECT DETAILS
• PROJECT NAME: The Street SIZE : 211,000 sq. feet

• LOCATION: Mathura ,Uttar Pradesh ,India YEAR COMPLETED:2017

• ARCHITECT: Sanjay Puri Architects

• PROJECT TYPES: Student Housing

Introduction • PROJECT SCOPE: New Construction

Climate Analysis
The street is contextual to the climate and the orientation. The
layout evokes the organic nature of the old Indian cities with
garden spaces increasing and decreasing in width .The hostel
circulation spines being angled along their lengths
Of the site, thus creating varied experiences and changing
perceptions of space in each part of the 6 acre site.
The orientation of the buildings is done with a view of
generating large north-facing gardens overlooking a vast
playground towards the north. Each hostel room is punctuated
with a wedge-shaped, north-facing bay window on the outside
and ventilators towards the internal corridor facilitating both
cross ventilation and light throughout the year.
These buildings create small break out spaces at each bending
point allowing natural light into the internal circulation spaces.
The buildings by their orientation toward the north, facilitates
natural ventilation in all areas and window orientation creates a
sustainable response reducing heat gain and increasing the
energy efficiency, reducing the environmental impact.

Concept 4
Concept 5
Designed in 4 level high, 5 linear blocks, the built spaces
snake across a wedge shaped site twisting and turning
along their length. Sitting adjacent to repetitive hostel
blocks on the east and west these new hostels within a
large university campus create individual spaces within
a discernible identity in each part of the layout
The orientation of all the buildings are done with a view
of generating large north facing garden areas
overlooking a vast playground towards the north. In
addition, each hostel room is punctuated with a wedge
shaped bay window oriented towards the north and the
playground.

• Double-height, 20-foot-tall cafeterias, game rooms, and
gymnasiums are located at the end of the buildings, where they
open directly onto the campus’s larger outdoor spaces.
• Canted rooflines reprise the bay windows at a more public scale,
marking these indoor gathering spaces while also sheltering
monumental outdoor stairs from the elements.
• Bright colours differentiate the blocks, the painted surfaces
being located on the exterior of the volumes housing public
amenities, and on the inside of individual bay windows, casting
color into the students’ rooms.
• Other amenities are gardens areas spread across the campus and
a huge playground.

Amenities 14
• Other sustainable solutions adopted by Sanjay Puri
Architects include rainwater harvesting, water recycling
and solar panels to meet the energy needs of the hostel
located on a 24-square-metre site.

• The architects create what they call a “discernible


identity” for the project by marking each student room
with a distinctive angular bay window that faces north to
capture daylight (and heat) in the winter months and
limit heat gain for the remaining eight months of the
year, when the average area temperature is above 30 C
(86 F).

• Louvers in each window provide sun-shading while


permitting natural ventilation, which is enhanced by
openings at the corridor for each room. Overall natural
air circulation is further encouraged by openings at
regular intervals in each block, where the form shifts in
plan. These irregular parts of the floor plan are filled with
breakout spaces that provide natural light into the
double-loaded corridors.
