Aastha
A design focused on comfort, safety, and independence.
Located in Bavla, a 30-minute drive from Ahmedabad, Aastha aims to provide a space for the mentally challenged that feels less like an institution and more like a community. The design language focuses on creating an environment where residents feel a sense of ownership and belonging, moving away from the traditional ‘ghetto-style’ hostels. Instead, they are welcomed into small bungalows, each designed to offer privacy, comfort and a homely atmosphere.
A place to live, thrive and feel like a part of something bigger.
The campus provides a full range of services that support the mental and physical development of its residents- including dining areas, toilet training spaces, recreational and sport facilities, and vocational workshops for skill-building. Designed to house nearly 200 residents, Aastha also provides an in-house staff that ensures the safety and standards are upheld whilst fostering a supportive community. The campus is designed to encourage interaction, community building and encourage a sense of belonging.
