Typically ₹18-35 per sq. ft. of BUA (estimate)

#### **Massing & Vertical Zoning**
*   **Volumetric Analysis:** 3D massing models to test shadow impact and wind loads.
*   **Zone Integration:** Strategic separation of retail, podium parking, and residential/office cores.

*   **Regulatory Check:** Preliminary feasibility against fire norms and environmental regulations.

### Master Planning (Townships & Resorts)

Comprehensive land-use strategy for 10+ acre developments maximizing FSI efficiency, road networks, and saleable area.

Typically ₹85K-1.5L per acre (estimate)

#### **Strategic Vision & Zoning**
*   **Site Analysis:** Coordination of drone contour mapping and sun-path analysis for optimal unit orientation.
*   **Area Optimization:** Detailed calculations to maximize saleable area while adhering to municipal bylaws.

*   **Cost Estimation:** Rough block estimates for construction costs to assess financial feasibility.

## About Master Planning & Urban Design

### Why I Do What I Do

I see architecture as more than buildings - it's about shaping how we actually live. My aim is to create spaces that don't feel boxed in, where inside and outside mix together. For me, the heart of master planning is about making cities in India work better for everyone, now and way into the future.

### How I Approach Urban Design

Getting a city plan right isn't just drawing lines on paper. I bring people together - architects, planners, officials, locals. Especially in places like Mumbai, I push for central planning so things don't get messy with too many cooks.

I design with an eye on tomorrow. My plans mix homes, offices, and shops so life happens in one place. Vertical city design is key for crowded cities - tall buildings mean less traffic and more green areas. I always look at how new metro lines or roads make neighborhoods more livable.

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for me. From the start, I weave in climate-responsive urban design, eco-friendly materials, and smart systems like automated waste and district cooling.

### Real Projects, Real Results

My work on GIFT City (India's first smart city) is about more than buildings - it's about building a full ecosystem. From luxury spaces to smart infrastructure, it's setting new standards.

In Mumbai, my projects like One Marina and Ekta Tripolis show how vertical city living can change the skyline and everyday life.

I've planned self-sustained luxury townships and eco-resorts too, always aiming for places that blend with the natural vibe.

### What You Get With Me

I’m hands-on. I don’t just approve designs from afar - I stay involved, making sure every detail matches the vision for better cities.

## Meet your expert

[Reza Kabul](https://mytribe.in/architect_reza_kabul)

### My story

Been at this for 37 years. Started ARK in '88, just wanting to make spaces that matter. Folks say I changed the skyline with high-rise residential design, but honestly, I care more about the lives inside those walls. I’m always first in, last out at the studio, walking sites, listening to stories. If you’re a client, you talk to me, not just my team. My wife Mahnaz runs interiors—she’s my rock. I love mentoring young architects, seeing how they dream up new worlds.

### My work

- **Architecture, Interiors & Master Planning**: We design homes, offices, hotels—covering architecture, interiors, and sustainable master planning.
- **Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Spaces**: Our designs break barriers, blending inside with outside for real connection and best views.
- **Luxury Minimalist Interiors**: We keep things simple, using luxury where it matters—like Italian marble only when it fits.
- **Flexible Building Conversion**: We plan for change. Like turning malls into hospitals—spaces evolve, so our designs do too.
- **People-First Approach**: We listen to stories, solve problems with intention, and make sure accessibility and sustainability are built in.
