Dahegam Town Hall Serves as a hub for community Engagement

Dahegam Town Hall in Ahmedabad by INI Design Studio blends an unfiltered sincerity and resolute aesthetic with contemporary practicality. Integrating material integrity with structural robustness, its modular grid prioritizes clean lines and an uncluttered layout, promoting both spatial versatility and functional adaptability, while bypassing ornamentation for a minimalist appeal. Designed to serve the community’s diverse needs, it embodies sustainability, energy efficiency, and climate-responsiveness, reflecting a balance between form and function.

Serving as a central hub for the community, Dahegam Town Hall accommodates a variety of activities, fostering social and cultural engagement. Conceived by the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), the facility is designed to host events ranging from social gatherings and performances to training sessions and banquets. The design aligns with Brutalist principles, showcasing a bold aesthetic by utilizing concrete, while also committing to sustainability and embracing climate-responsiveness.

The building’s exposed concrete celebrates material honesty, while the modular grid supports an open layout. The entrance plaza leads to a multipurpose banquet and conference area, accommodating up to 500 individuals. The first-floor auditorium seats over 600 attendees and includes VIP lounges and green rooms. The parametric interior design enhances acoustics and lighting, ensuring a superior auditory experience.

The second-floor library, with a 100-seat reading area, promotes intellectual engagement. Peripheral spaces, such as arrival lobbies, vertical circulation cores, and service areas, act as buffers against the hot climate, reducing cooling loads and enhancing energy efficiency through the thermal mass of concrete.

Large windows and architectural fins on the facade ensure natural light and functional aesthetics. The verdant front lawn softens the raw monumentality of the structure, while the material palette of exposed concrete and Jodhpur pink sandstone creates a cohesive design narrative. INI Design Studio‘s project emphasizes minimal aesthetics, intelligent space utilization, and material honesty, fostering a legacy of sustainability and iconic design for the community.

  • The Palisades Residence

    An entrepreneur and family with a passion for healthy living requested a large home on their dramatically sloping 2-acre site. They specifically wanted an informal layout that could be woven into the topography of the property. Wanting to enjoy as much of the site as possible, the client requested the inclusion of steps and landscape pathways to allow for access to more distant parts of the steep site. Situated on a promontory jutting into the canyon below, the hillside retreat boasts multiple vistas of the surrounding canyon and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Since covenants, conditions, and restrictions associated with the property allowed for only a single story above street level, many of the home’s rooms are located on a lower level which daylights onto the downslope side of the house. This modest massing arrangement allows for neighboring properties to see over the roof of the home. In three distinct locations, landscaped topography “fingers” heighten one’s awareness of the natural hillside. Bridges span over these fingers, enhancing and extending the natural graded areas deep into the heart of the home. The design solution offers new perspectives for experiencing the owner’s prized views while providing a glimpse of the topography as it stood before the house was set upon it. Meticulous craftsmanship and authentic building materials are recurring themes best exemplified by the widespread use of board-formed concrete walls, white oak shiplap wall cladding, and painted galvanized steel doors and windows. A datum of wall elevations was carefully laid out to align the joints of the seemingly random board-formed concrete with the adjacent wood boards that come in 3″, 4″, 5″, and 6″ widths. Floors, ceilings, steps, lighting, speakers, keypad controls, and outlets were all carefully placed so that no element ever interrupts a joint in the boards.
