Geneology

I have designed a police station with the intention of making it a true community space that fosters connection and interaction among the people living in the neighborhood. For example, the local bhaji sellers and the lawyers who typically gather in the nearby back lane are important parts of this community, and my design aims to bring them closer together. To achieve this, I have created a more open and inviting environment, especially in the public areas. The police station is two stories tall, with the ground floor primarily dedicated to police officers and their official work. The public can access this floor only when they have important matters that require interactions with higher authorities. However, the first floor is entirely focused on serving the community’s needs and encouraging social engagement. It includes offices for public services such as FIR registration and passport assistance, as well as amenities like an open gym, a library, and comfortable seating areas where people can relax, read newspapers or magazines, and spend time together. This layout helps transform the police station from a strictly functional facility into a welcoming space that supports community-building and makes the local people feel valued and connected.
