Pipariya Riverfront

Project Summary

Location Pipariya
Year
Client

The Pipariya Riverfront was proposed along the Pipariya tributary and the Daman Ganga River in Silvassa, with the aim of creating a neighbourhood-scale recreational zone and improving public access to the river. The vision for the project was to preserve and enhance the site's unique natural features while making the water edge more accessible and engaging for the surrounding community.

The riverfront was organised into four distinct nodes: public plazas, green spaces, a crematorium with Ghats and kund, and a pedestrian bridge, each responding to the site's natural setting and accommodating different activities. The public and recreational spaces incorporated eateries, tranquil garden areas, walkways through groves and wooded landscapes, vista points, and water-edge activities, while the Ghats provided opportunities for people to engage directly with the river. The design responded to seasonal variations in water levels by introducing walkways at different levels, ensuring accessibility and continuity along the riverfront through changing water conditions.
