Unscripted is a housing design based in Ahmedabad, India. It challenges the normal notions of housing in the city. The project gives multiple opportunities to modify the house according to the client's needs where the core and service shaft remains the same. Rest all functions of the house can be customized according to the needs, such as the number of bedrooms, working space, living room, single stack unit, or double stack unit. The housing provides a stunning commercial front with dual-level parking. The entire first floor is being provided with amenities and green space in between. The entire housing project accommodates around 1500 citizens ( 3 in a single unit ). Each unit is around 90 sqm in size. addition to that facilities like restaurants, canteen and workspaces(on rental bases) is being provided to promote living and working in the same campus, to reduce transportation cost and less vehicular activities. Unscripted tries to solve all modern day problems of the housing.
