Mumbai, one of the most densely populated city is a collage of urban fabric, cultures, and infrastructure. Mumbai has always been blemished by: Rapid unplanned urbanization, ever increasing housing needs, Lack of proper infrastructure, poor amenities.

In such a high paced city, through the use of CLT we are providing a new alternative which is both faster & better than contemporary construction techniques.

Chawls:

Typically, a chawl is a set of rooms strung along a corridor. Chawls can be single storied or multi-storied households. The entire building may also have a courtyard inside with corridors running all around the courtyard with rooms strung along them.

It is speculated that origin of chawls lie in an agrarian house-type, the wada, (typical in Maharashtra, India) with a courtyard inside and a set of rooms strung along the courtyard.

The design incorporates CLT module of 2.5 M width and 6 m in height that is divided from a CLT standard panel of 12m height. These panels are connected in a cross formation with a metal plate insertion. The module is then multiplied horizontally and vertically. These modules are stacked vertically one above the other in such a manner that every alternating module is rotated by 45 degrees along the center axis.
The floor of a module is interconnected with walls of adjacent modules with the help of slots. This provides a solid bonding and provides proper rigidity to the entire building.Vertically modules are placed along center axis.
Cumulatively the structure is held together by this alternate connections fostered by these shifting and rotating planes.
