m Located in Hosur, near Bengaluru.

m Designed by Charles Correa.

m The client, one of the most successful and enlightened
industrial units in India, wished to set up housing for their
workers
m Not in the form of an isolated company town, but as an
integral part of the new urbanisation taking place
outside the small town of Hosur.
m Green areas created by Titan are accessible to the
public at large.
m Many of the sites and houses are being sold to outsiders.
m There is a natural mix of population, right from the start.
m It is located in the outskirts of the city of
Hosur and is just off the Mathigiri road
and is about 3 kms from the railway
station.
m The city experiences a pleasantly
moderate climate.
m The site is mostly flat.
m It surrounded by privately owned
residential plots.

m The basic square modules are 48 metres by 48
metres and these are combined to form clusters of
2,4,8 or 16 modules.
m The roads servicing these modules are kept to very
short cul-de-sacs, so they can carry an unusually
high level of service infrastructure (underground
electric lines, cable television, etc) and yet make it
such infrastructure affordable in the Indian
economic context.

m All houses are 3 bedroom duplexes.
m The types are classified on basis of location and size of the
garden provided.
m They are in ascending order of size of green area as given:
ÿ A1, A2, A3
ÿ B (corner blocks)
ÿ C (corner blocks)
ÿ D1, D2, D3
ÿ E
ÿ F1, F2
m In a standard cluster of 16, the ratio is:
ÿ A1A2:A3:B:C:D1:D2:D3 = 2:3:1:3:3:2:2
m The ratio given above varies and so do the types in the
cluster.
