A rectangular footprint was devised in response to the trees’ locations, shaping a sculpted mass where concave ‘tree-scoops’ imprint their presence onto the ten-story structure. These voids not only preserve the trees but also create immersive communal spaces that foster interaction and engagement. The tree-scoops define reading rooms, lobbies, and indoor sports areas at the ground level, ensuring that shared spaces remain connected to nature. A diagonal incision—framing two of the largest trees, a Banyan and a Raintree—creates a dynamic, street-like movement through the project. Additional communal amenities, including a swimming pool and amphitheater, are situated on the terrace, offering panoramic views of the city skyline across the tree canopies. These spaces transform throughout the day, responding to shifting light and shadow, reinforcing their experiential quality.
The thirty-eight apartments are arranged along two linear cores, with each unit opening to light, air, and the lush greenery outside. The planning maximizes natural ventilation and daylight, ensuring that living spaces—bedrooms, dining, and living rooms—are directly influenced by the trees’ presence. This proximity fosters a deeper connection between residents and their surroundings, reinforcing a sense of belonging and continuity with nature.

Homes Around Trees is an argument for a more conscious urbanism—one that acknowledges the urgency of preserving our natural environment while creating places for people to live meaningfully within it. In a city where development often comes at the cost of ecological loss, this project attempt to demonstrate that housing can be both dense and sensitive, both urban and green. It is a call to rethink how we build, placing nature at the core of how we conceive and inhabit our cities.
