This portfolio is a collection of works since the beginning of my architecture studies in Sir JJ College of Architecture. It displays a variety of skills, from digital aspects to physical modeling and capabilities. I explore and experiment with numerous materials, forms and presentation styles, which is inherent for a young student in architecture. I look forward to gain practical knowledge in this field.

Bhakt resort at Nira Narsingpur
Zoning:
Project Under Prof. Mustansir dalvi
Nira narsingpur is a village in Indapur taluka of Pune district, Maharashtra, India. The project is about providing residence facility for pilgrims. In recent times pilgrimage tourism is preferred by people as it covers both aspects i.e. Religious and leisure time in nature. As we know Nira narsingpur has both of these potentials from site perspective. It has scenic sangam of Bhima and Nira river. Also the Heritage Nrusinha temple. So following project is a proposal of Bhakt resort at Nira Narsingpur
Concept:
Lake
Public spaces – reception, dining, multipurpose hall
Semi public amenities area
Service areas and janitors quarters
Private villas with landscaping
The Nira narsingpur is known for lord Nrusinha (with only calm swaroopa). The lord loves audumber, palas, pimpal, banyan trees and its leaves. So the concept is inspired from leaves and their veins. The waterbodies are streamlined in central axis taking inspiration from stem of the leaf.

• Since thane is not a planned city and has developed over the period of time in an informal way.
• The grains that are seen are mostly fine with uneven texture for the older settlements.
• Course and uneven for the group of buildings built recently especially for commercial purpose and very rarely it is fine and even mostly for the residential townships that are coming up
Heights analysis:
Buildings height below 4m 12m
Buildings height between 12m 24m
Buildings height above 24m
The area around the selected road has building heights that varies since kalwa, thane is not a planned city, therefore the expansion and construction of these building were done in different decades.
