# Urban Design & Master Planning in Mumbai

By [Jugal Mistri Architects](https://mytribe.in/jmamumbai) · I design urban spaces and master plans that fit the site’s history, terrain, and local life, using walkable layouts, terrain-responsive solutions, and sustainable planning for cities and communities.

## Locations

Takes projects across Mumbai, Goa, and Delhi NCR

### Travels to

- Takes projects across Goa (Goa, Goa, India)
- Takes projects across Mumbai Metropolitan Area (Mumbai Metropolitan Area, Mumbai Metropolitan Area, Maharashtra)
- Takes projects across Delhi NCR (National Capital Region, National Capital Region)

## Pricing guide (estimates)

These are indicative prices based on provider's past work. Enquire now to find out final quote.

### Urban Architectural Concept

Concept design for vertical developments focusing on facade identity, floor plate efficiency, and street-level plaza integration.

Typically ₹55-95 Per Sq. Ft. (Built-Up Area) (estimate)

#### Massing & Interface
* **Volumetric Sculpting:** Optimizing building form to maximize FSI while meeting light plane and setback regulations.
* **Street Permeability:** Designing entrance plazas and drop off zones to integrate the building with the public realm.
* **Facade Concept:** Design of the external skin and landmark identity using specific architectural elements.

#### Internal Planning
* **Floor Plate Efficiency:** Zoning office or residential plates for maximum natural light and ventilation.
* **Core Configuration:** Optimizing lift and staircase locations to maximize usable carpet area.
* **Environmental Analysis:** Digital modeling of wind loads and solar heat gain to inform facade depth.

#### Deliverables
* **Hero Visuals:** High resolution CGI renders of the building from street and aerial perspectives.
* **Design Storyboard:** Narrative explaining the architectural connection to local historical or urban context.

### Strategic Site Feasibility Study

Diagnostic report covering drone mapping, contour analysis, regulatory FSI checks, and climatic simulations to assess land potential.

Typically ₹1.5-2.5L Per Site (Up to 3 Acres) (estimate)

#### Technical Analysis
* **Topography Check:** Reviewing site contours to identify buildable pockets and slope retention requirements.
* **Climatic Simulation:** Using BIM tools to map sun paths and wind flows for optimal building orientation.
* **Regulatory Check:** Analyzing FSI limits, setbacks, and CRZ norms to confirm legal feasibility.

#### Context Mapping
* **Site Documentation:** Senior architect visit for sketching and photographic logging of the site context.
* **Drone Survey:** Aerial mapping to assess views, vegetation density, and neighboring structures.
* **Context Narrative:** Mood boards referencing local heritage and urban textures.

#### Output
* **Zoning Diagram:** Block level plans showing buildable zones, open spaces, and movement flow.
* **Yield Estimate:** Summary of developable area versus green zones for investment calculation.

### Community Master Planning

Layout design for gated communities focusing on pedestrian-first streets, interlocking plotting typologies, and terrain modulation.

Typically ₹4.5-70L Per Acre (estimate)

#### Layout & Zoning
* **Pedestrian Design:** Creating car free internal zones by prioritizing walking paths and cozy streetscapes.
* **Plotting Strategy:** Dividing land into efficient plots with interlocking building typologies to maximize density.
* **Terrain Engineering:** Strategies for cut and fill to create stepped levels or semi basements on slopes.

#### Landscape & Amenities

* **Sustainability Features:** Identification of zones for rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable paving.
* **Hardscape Definition:** Specifications for paving patterns and boundary treatments.

#### Guidelines & Visuals
* **3D Massing:** Volumetric renders showing community scale, shadow analysis, and building relationships.
* **Design Rulebook:** Guidelines for architectural styles, roof pitches, and material palettes for future consistency.

## About Urban Design & Master Planning

### How We See Urban Design

For me, urban design isn't just about arranging buildings on a map. It's about setting up spaces that actually make a difference in how people live, meet, and feel in the city. I always try to read the vibe of a place before doing anything. Every site has a story, and I want my work to be part of that story, not just something new dropped in.

### Our Way of Planning

I start by soaking in everything about the site - its history, what locals love, the weird bits of the land. Sometimes I just sit, sketch, and let ideas come. Other times it's all about crunching numbers and looking at the slope or sun. If the terrain is tricky, like a steep ghat or a riverbank, I don't fight it - I use it. Mood boards, quick sketches, and a lot of walking around help me figure out what fits and what should be left alone.

### What We Actually Do

- In crowded places like Mumbai, I design buildings that breathe. Plazas open up the ground floor, making it feel like the street is part of the building.
- For bigger community layouts, I like to make spaces where you can just walk, chill, and bump into people. Goa projects with only pedestrian alleys and surprise corners work great for that.
- If there's a tough site, like a hillside, I go for terrain-responsive design. Floating decks, semi-basements, and walkable green roofs are my jam - they connect people to nature instead of covering it up.
- I always try to mix in sustainable city planning, so these places aren’t just nice now, but also hold up for future generations.

This work is about making cities feel lived-in, not just built up.

- [Video: This is Baia Villas, a project where I aimed to create more than just vacation homes. I wanted to capture the 'susegad' spirit of Mandrem, Goa, by designing a pedestrian-only community with asymmetrical alleyways and shared courtyards. The architecture, with its bold colors and forms, is a dialogue between the edgy and the romantic, creating a space that allows you to live the Goan life, or let Goa live in you.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/411fc67d-a951-49a9-8565-66a4934cc784)
- ![For the Evershine House in Bandra, I envisioned a tower that contributes to the streetscape rather than just occupying it. The design draws inspiration from the architectural language of historic South Bombay, reinterpreting its arched windows and rhythmic proportions with a contemporary edge. It is a landmark that bridges heritage and modernity in one of Mumbai's most vibrant neighborhoods.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6fbceb37-b8f0-4aa4-b340-7802797aa4d9)
- [Video: My process often involves fabricating the terrain itself to serve the design's function. For this clubhouse, I created a stepped-down L-shaped volume with integrated green roofs and walkable spaces. This approach allows the structure to merge with the landscape, creating a multi-layered environment that balances privacy with a deep connection to nature.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3575541c-4a29-4376-a455-a70fb68c4706)
- [Video: I often ask, can our buildings be more inviting? For this office tower on Turner Road, I designed a public plaza that extends the street life into the building's threshold. This concept of participatory urbanism creates an interactive ground level, making the tower an integral part of Bandra's urban fabric rather than a disconnected structure.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bc71d5e6-dd16-43f4-b477-5ae9752ca799)

### My story

Hey, I’m Jugal. Started JMA back in 2012—big dreams, small sketches, lot of chai. Columbia changed how I see cities, and working abroad? Total eye-opener. I’m all for mixing old-school hand sketches with new ideas, not just computer stuff. Awards are cool, but honestly, it’s the tough projects that keep me sharp. Been through my own share of ups and downs lately, but that’s brought a new kinda fire to my work.

### My work

- **What We Do**: We handle architecture, interiors, and urban design—residential, commercial, hospitality, and more. From luxury villas to big city projects.
- **Context Matters Most**: Every project starts with the site’s story. We let history, culture, even the weather guide our contextual architecture design.
- **Wellness in Every Space**: We create urban wellness spaces—quiet, calm, intuitive layouts, where light and touch matter as much as looks.
- **Smart & Sustainable**: Always prefer sustainable local materials. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and just fits better with each place.
- **Understated, Not Loud**: We don’t shout. Our work’s about quiet confidence, letting the design and hand-sketched concept plans do the talking.
