3.1 Grid

3.1.1 Central Grid Derived From

Existing Vegetation
Khan market consists of and is
surrounded by different types of
vegetation with different heights and
foliage. Such vegetation does not only
beautify the site but also provides
sufficient amount of shade and shadow
to improve walkability for the users on
the site.

Hence, maintaining such vegetation

internally on the site gives an advantage
as it is one of the main site potential
that can be maintained and preserved
to be used to our advantage moving
forward in the redevelopment of Khan
market.

12
Grid

3.1.2 GRID DIMENSION

Khan market is famously known for the
umpteen number of shops
accommodated in the space provided.
Each shop as per the analysis of the
existing market is a length of 8m.

Therefore, taking an offset of the grid

marked around the existing vegetation
guides the redevelopment of the
project while also maintaining
permissible space per shop as per size
and height.

13
Grid

3.1.3 DERIVED GRID FOR SITE

DEVELOPMENT
Further taking an offset of the grid of
8m width till the end of the side
boundary, the grid becomes a guide as
to how we can further strategise built
vs open spaces as per user convenience
and surrounding context.

3. Design Strategies

3.2 Axes

3.2.1 Visual Axes

There are majorly two visual axes
towards Khan market; one from the
Rajesh pilot Marg Road and second
from the Prithvi Raj Lane. These axes
help us focus on the main visual
frontage of the redevelopment of the
project.

15
Axes

3.2.2 Accessibility Axes

There are two axes marked as per the
connectivity towards the site. One is the
existing vehicular route running
internally from the site and second is
the connection from the Metro
station directly towards the site. These
two axes increase user accessibility
towards the site.

16
Axes

3.2.3 Site Axes

Khan market having an edgy site
boundary and has many vertices.
Creating a cross between vertices, the
overlapping connections give more
clarity on the accessibility for user
convenience towards the site which
can be taken forward in the
redevelopment of the project for open
spaces and built strategies.

17
Axes

3.2.4 Overlapped Axes

Overlapping all axes gives further
clarity on how to strategically plan out
the built and open spaces.

18
Overlapped Grid and Axes

Overlapping the Grid and Axes

highlights the major focus towards
the site segregating the open spaces
and zoning the different typology of
built area responding to the immediate
surrounding horizontally and vertically.

3.3 Open Space Strategies

3.3.1 All Grids and Axes

The above plan shows the axis and the
grid overlapped together along with
new axes with an offset of 4m
considering to be a suitable width for a
pathway running internally within the
site.

Open Space Strategies

3.3.2 Derived Central Plaza

The main focus of attention for the open
space is the central area where the
existing trees are retained to keep alive
the ever green vegetation of the site.

21
Open Space Strategies

3.3.3 Derived Softscape

Besides the central area, there are other
green patches provided across the site.
These green patches also include green
belts and small bushes on the periphery
of the site.

One of these green patches is in the

central area of the institutional
building which is designed with mounds
to give a variation in height for people to
sit around behind the library. The other
open green space is also the common
entry/exit for the institutional building
and the office building where there is a
green patch around a fountain to give a
sense of Grandeur to enter a mixed-use
building.

22
Open Space Strategies

3.3.4 Derived Hardscape

Starting with the Central open space,
there are crosscutting footpaths made
along the axis derived from the vertices
and the connectivity of the site. The
corners of the site have open sitting
spaces next to temporary vendors to
give a secluded space for people to sit
around alongside having a shopping
experience surrounded by greenery.

3.4.1 Site Zoning

The bubble diagram is an outcome of
the various axes and the surrounding
context responding towards the site.

The institutional area is said to be in

the extended corner so as to cater to the
bible Bhawan and nearby NDMC
residential area as well. Further there is
a car market in a secluded corner on
the edge of one of the vertices. The
adjoining building is a mixed-use
typology where the bottom three floors
are office spaces and three floors above
a residential service apartments.

On the main frontage of the entire site

is the commercial retail which has a
mix of eateries, clothing shops, dog
shops, jewellery stores, local vendors
etc.

24
Built Space Strategies

3.4.2 SITE PLAN

As per the axes and the grid following
the zoning overlapped with one another,
the final formation of the redeveloped
site is in a circular structure showing a
flow of connectivity and a relation
between each other. Every building is a
highlight in its own but alongside
showing a relation with the adjoining
structures without loosing its own
identity.

25
Built Space Strategies

3.4.3 ENTRY LEVEL PLAN

The entry level plan shows the internal
circulation from each structure to
another but also showing connectivity
from the external pathways and vehicle
entries towards the site.

There is a separate two wheeler parking

next to the residential and office spaces
for workers.

The car market has a separate entry

exit and so does the institutional area
have a separate basement of its own.

The office space is showing a

connectivity with the institutional
building while maintaining its own
typology.

The commercial retail is one structure

on the frontage of the entire side but also
showing visual connection to the
adjoining buildings not only on the site
but also in the surroundings through its
open spaces and pedestrian walkways.

4.1.1 CENTRAL PLAZA

The Central open space is derived

from the existing vegetation of the
evergreen trees of Khan market.

To make this space more interactive,

there are seatings around the tree
trunks and interconnected cross cutting
footpaths to make the space more lively.

4.1.2 OPEN SPACE IN FRONT OF TEMPLE

The age old surrounding of Khan market is yet not to be changed. The temple on the corner of the market is one of the closest religious
places of worship behind the commercial retail area.

To provide a space for this temple there is a plaza right across the pedestrian crossing which is an open space attached to a
hall with a capacity of about 100 people to host prayer meetings, pujas or even small ceremonies.

4.1.3 CENTRAL ALLEY

Creating uninterrupted circulation around the commercial retail complex the internal alley plays a strong role.

Currently Khan market is popularly known for its street shopping experience. It is one of the strongest side potentials that is to be
taken forward in any redevelopment project for Khan market.

Retaining the same central alley in a revised design, there are umpteen number of shops which have front and back entry-exits from
the internal alley and small vendors as well retaining the look and feel of the street shopping experience of Khan market.

4.1.4 PROPOSED TEMPORARY

VENDOR’S ZONE

Not only does Khan market currently

have street vendors inside the central
alley but also on the periphery of the
market which further creates issues for
vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

Resolving this issue,there have been

specific street vending zones created as
the street shopping experience is
incomplete without them. Designed
Proposed Street Vendor’s Zone alongside these vendors is a synergistic
seating space.

4.1.5 COMMON ENTRANCE

GREENS FOR OFFICE/
RESIDENTIAL/ INSTITUTIONAL

The common entry-exit for the

institutional and office building is
where there is a green patch with the
centrally located fountain to give a sense
of Grandeur to enter mixed-use
buildings.

The entry also caters to the residents

and the same is designed separately

4.1.6 PROPOSED INSTITUTIONAL

GREENS

The Central open space planned

against the axis and grid, is a centrally
located space within the institutional
building playing around with mounds,
giving a certain height at different places
to the area. This space is meant for
people to relax or even read a book
behind the library.

It is a common open space for any

Proposed Institutional Greens activity catering to the user for
institutional purposes.
