Description:
This project series documents a housing project on Pakhowal Road in India, likely sometime around the 1980s-1990s. The exact location of Pakhowal Road is unknown, but it might be in Ludhiana. The project proposed three-storey blocks of flats in a range of sizes, which were staggered to provide adequate lighting for each resident. Different categories of typical blocks were designed that ranged from 3-6 flats in each and included garages for 9-cars. There were to be a total of 234 flats, with room for an additional 52 if the zoning allowed for a fourth storey. The project is recorded through original drawings of a site plan, floor plans and elevations, probably dating from around the 1980s-1990s.
