A PA R T M E N T S AT M Y S O R E Year: 2019-Present Area: 5000 sqft Architecture: Simpli-City Design Studio The aim of the project was to create a durable and maintenance free building within the specified budget. The idea for the apartments took shape through numerous iterations with particular attention to detail as well as its impact on the surrounding urbanscape.

H OT E L AT B O G A D I, M Y S O R E Year: 2019 Area: 70000 sqft Architecture: SKBR Infrastructures The 0.85-acre site at Bogadi is surrounded by coconut plantations. The design brief comprised a 90-room, 3-star hotel with a business center/conference room, games room, gym, spa, restaurant, café and rooftop pub (with a separate access), banquet hall, basement parking, service areas and administration department. The configuration of the site, building bye-laws and fire codes determined to a large extent the plan form of the design proposal. The location of the two cores and columnar structure determined by basement parking requirements forms the conceptual order of the building. The design of the remaining floors follows as a consequence of these considerations.
H OT E L AT N A N D I H I L L S Year: 2019 Area: 8000 sqft Architecture: Brick&Bolt Located at the base of Nandi Hills, the design brief comprised a small hotel or membership club located on two plots. The final design included 6 rooms of varying sizes, a restaurant and kitchen, parking for 3 cars, a swimming pool and games room. The idea was for a simple design predominantly utilising glass and steel to maximise views. Considering the prevalent building bye-laws, the construction on the smaller plot was to be designed as a temporary structure.
As an organisational strategy, the ground floor comprises of public and administrative areas with the first floor comprising of rooms.
R O W H O U S I N G AT KOT H A N U R Year: 2019 Area: 120000 sqft Architecture: SKBR Infrastructures Situated on a 2-acre plot, the brief comprised 4 and 5 BHK row houses as housing for doctors.
The design is composed of a vertical interlock, where the houses are duplexes with the lower unit utilising the entirety of the ground floor footprint and half of the first floor; and the upper unit utilising half of the first floor and the entirety of the second floor. The concept was for a simple, affordable mode of construction that reflects in the design of common balconies between bedrooms and the compaction of spatial volumes.
