INTERLUDE

Despite being a bustling commercial district during the day, Ashram Road is deserted in the evening. The drop in activity is due to Alike land-use that does not cater to different user groups, giving the CBD a somber tone raising concerns about its safety. The project intends to attract visitors to the neighborhood while also acting as a catalyst for future development along Ashram Road thereby increasing activity and vibrancy. A mixed-use building – eat, shop, engage – that can be used by all user groups, well connected to its surroundings, is easy to travel to, and offers engaging activities is developed.
