“HML” WORKERS’ HOUSING | RESIDENTIAL PLANNING

Designed for Hari Machines Pvt. Limited, this 7-acre residential development at Rajgangpur provides thoughtfully planned worker and staff housing within the company’s production campus.

The masterplan organises three distinct housing typologies across the site, balancing efficient land use with a coherent residential framework. Each housing cluster is arranged around open-to-sky courtyards, introducing natural light, ventilation, and shared community spaces at the heart of the development.

Despite strict area constraints, the design creates variation through carefully articulated massing, façade treatments, and material contrasts that break down scale and establish a more human-centred identity.

Generous open spaces, landscaped green corridors, parks, and naturally ventilated living environments ensure a high quality of everyday life, creating a residential precinct that balances efficiency, comfort, and community well-being.
