While much of our work is based in the US, Sorg also focuses on projects across the world. In doing so, we recognize the importance of maintaining the local vernacular. By incorporating aspects of the location, culture, and people, Sorg can create a meaningful and beneficial structure that blends into the region’s architectural surroundings while still being unique. In India, Sorg has three major projects that all involve a mixed-use development complex. The Grand Arch in Gurgaon, India is a 300-acre township outside New Delhi and features more than 900 residential units in both high and mid-rise buildings. It was designed to help the housing crisis of the middle class due to explosive growth of urban population. Inspired by Mughal architecture and the cultural norms of the community, large rooms with increased privacy as well as puja rooms and central parts of the building. Skyon in Gurgaon, India was shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival, Future Projects: Residential, and is a large-scale, mixed-use, multifamily residential project. Skyon is a 22-acre residential development composed of five, 9- to 13-story buildings, and a 40-story tower, all organized around a community green space. The tower has a pinwheel layout and is the focal point of the complex and is derived from the Hindu symbol for good luck. The complex focuses on cultural aspects and aesthetics while still utilizing practicality. Another mixed-use development located off the sea in Mumbai, India is the Metroplex. Including nearly 1 million SF of commercial office space and 342 two to four bedroom units of residential housing, the Metroplex sits on approximately 10 acres. The main focus of this design was to allow every unit to have a view of the sea while maintaining the rules that each room must have natural ventilation. To do this, the Metroplex uses a design that stacks different blocks to reflect the geography of the site while satisfying the needs of the client. #architecture #design #community #travel #india

Helping real estate devlopers & builders with feasibilty studies and pre design architecture services
Slum redevelopment is a multifaceted architectural challenge that involves not only improving living conditions but also addressing the economic and social needs of residents. A project carried out in Mumbai under ‘The Hudco Project’ exemplified this complexity. The initiative involved a detailed study of three slum pockets: Cheetah Camp, Bharat Nagar (Dharavi), and Gilbert Hill. These areas were chosen for their unique characteristics and the blend of residential and commercial activities that define them. The study highlighted the importance of preserving spaces for social gatherings, economic activities, and community interactions, which are crucial for the residents' well-being and the area's vibrancy. The proposed solution integrated both vertical and horizontal development to accommodate the high-density population while maintaining the organic spatial matrix of the slums. The design focused on creating a dynamic structure through the combination of individual units forming clusters, which then come together to create a cohesive community. This approach ensures that no two structures are identical, allowing for variation and character that reflect the community's needs and preferences. By incorporating spaces for both living and working within the unit modules, the redevelopment aims to support diverse commercial activities and enhance the overall quality of life for the residents. Understanding the intricate balance between residential, commercial, and social needs is essential for successful slum redevelopment. Projects like the one in Mumbai demonstrate that sustainable and inclusive development can transform slum areas into vibrant communities. The emphasis on community structure, social spaces, and economic opportunities ensures that redevelopment projects provide full value to the residents. As urbanization continues to grow, integrating these principles into future projects can help create more resilient and thriving urban environments. How can architects and urban planners effectively balance the residential, commercial, and social needs in slum redevelopment projects to create sustainable and inclusive communities?

The Hall of Nations, by Raj Rewal was once Mammoth of a building in the Pragati Maidan complex in New Delhi, India. It was built by over a thousand hard-working people, both women and men. The structure was sculpted in a way that felt almost natural and right, and the design looked amazing no matter when you saw it. What makes it Exemplary? • Reinforced concrete space frames: Enabling expansive, column-free interiors, ideal for versatile exhibitions and events. • Inspired by traditional Indian jaalis: The design features intricate patterns for aesthetic appeal and cooling functionality. • Dual-purpose functionality: Structure depth acts as a sun breaker, echoing the beauty of jaalis while serving a practical purpose. Here’s what we in the residential real estate industry space can learn from it, • Embracing innovation leads to functional and beautiful spaces, and in today's market, innovation is key! • Integration of cultural and historical elements (the jaali for example) can foster a strong sense of place and community among residents. The structure stands as a reminder of collective human effort, fostering innovation, and the multifaceted nature of architectural heritage. Do you think modern developers can also draw insights & inspiration from cultural principles? #HallOfNations #RajRewal #PragatiMaidan #Architecture #Innovation #CulturalHeritage #Inspiration #CollectiveEffort
