MAPLE - RETREAT CABIN
Location : Wayanad, Kerala
Site Area: 595 sq.m
Overview:
The project is a attempt to design a retreat cabin in the woods of Wayanad at the close proximity of a stream. Located at a serene location the design takes full advantage of the site conditions by the increased use of glass to blur the differences between the indoors and outdoors.
Concept:
TILT TO 360
To capture the panaromic view of the vista and to provide shade to the outdoor wooden deck the volume of the first floor is tilted to orient the stream. Having said that the site has contours, by grading the lower part of the land at higher altitude the roadway is accessed easily and it facilitates better views

Overview:
The project is an Urban housing in a hot and humid climatic region.The design is an exploration of housing units which holds on so many memories for the end-users .The design focuses on brinnging more community spaces which brings in more healthy conversations and interactions to dwell as one single community
Concept:
STREETS IN THE SKY
Based on the concept of architects Alison and Peter Smithson, the corridors are being treated as the STREETS IN THE SKY to explore the pros and cons of the ideology from late 1960’s to today’s urban scenario. Following our ancestoral roots of being social bees the design endorses interaction among people. These streets had a impact on the social well-being of the community as its holds some potential advantages in terms of public space, community activities, pedestrian mobility, but they do have the risk of increased circulation spaces and lesser usable spaces. But an attempt to achieve a balance in between these cases would bring forth a socially united community
