SHRIFAL HEIGHTS
BALAJI INFRASTRUCTURE
2014 - AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT, INDIA
A site-specific sculptural installation designed to mark the entrance of Shrifal Heights while inviting residents and visitors to pause, gather, and experience the space. These monumental floral forms are more than just identity markers—they function as public urban furniture, creating shaded alcoves and illuminated zones that transform at dusk. Crafted in mild steel with CNC precision, the structures come alive with outdoor halogen lighting that projects intricate shadows through perforated surfaces, making them both functional and atmospheric. Inspired by the name Shrifal (meaning coconut in Sanskrit, a traditional symbol of prosperity and welcome), the forms resonate with cultural memory while enhancing community life through their inviting spatial quality.
