HOUSING
WHAT IS MEANT BY-
GROUP HOUSING
a group of separate and/or linked dwelling units
which may be subdivided but are planned, designed
and built as a harmonious architectural entity and
integrated with open space in an ordered way.
It is familiar through the widespread development of
mass housing in the modern world, in which individuals
or families find living space either in multiple dwellings
or in single units produced in quantity

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN III | 2021

GROUP HOUSING IS PRODUCED BY MANY KINDS OF CULTURES: BY
COMMUNAL STATES TO EQUALIZE LIVING STANDARDS, BY TYRANTS TO
ASSURE A DOCILE LABOR FORCE, AND BY FEUDAL OR CASTE SYSTEMS TO
BRING TOGETHER MEMBERS OF A CLASS.
GROUP ARCHITECTURE MAY BE POWER ARCHITECTURE AS WELL,

PARTICULARLY WHEN LAND VALUES ARE TOO HIGH TO PERMIT EVEN THE
WEALTHY TO BUILD PRIVATELY

COMPARITIVE DENSITIES
The number of dwelling units are calculated on the basis of the density pattern
given in the development plan, taking into consideration a population of 4.5
persons per dwelling unit.

Low Income Housing
The norms of ISS–8888:1993 formulated by the BIS shall be applicable for Low Income
Housing, which provide a maximum net density upto 300 DUs./Ha. https://www.hcp.co.in/assets/projects/research/docs/54377Patel_Byahut_Bhatha_HBE.pdf

BUILDING CONFIGURATION
The shape and size of a residential building can
have significant influence on the cost and
consequently the feasibility of a project.
The building height should be given considering
all the factors such as the practical and efficient
considerations from a cost standpoint, availability
of construction equipment etc.
Increasing the building length or width can result
in additional costs.

Provision of Podium for
parking and landscaping
In case of the buildings with stilt floor on individual plot for providing parking space
and where basement could not be approached for parking, in such cases a podium may be
constructed on ground floor in continuation of the stilt floor having access from the
front for the parking after leaving minimum 3m setback from the plot line.
For low rise development, the maximum height permitted is 15mts.
However where the stilt floor is to be constructed for parking the height may be
increased to 17.5 mts

3) For row housing, comer plots should be suitably, set back from the road

4) Service Lanes: The minimum width of the service lane shall be 15 ft. but
NOMS it may be reduced to 10ft. in the case of law cost housing schemes sponsored

to have these in the case of detached and semi -detached housing. If
provided, it should have a minimum of 15 ft. right of way.
5) In the case of row and terraced housing, service lanes may be provided.
It should have a minimum right of way of 15 ft. In case the length of the
lane is more than 500 ft. the minimum right of way should be 20 ft.
