WOODEN FURNISHING.

SUSTAINABILITY.

Wood as a natural versatile material has influenced me in and out of architecture.

The textures, colours, structural qualities, range of application and its reusable capabilities has always been inspiring.

Minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings in this world through careful selection of eco - friendly materials, land development, energy efficiency etc. for a better living atmosphere.

REVERIE CABIN sem 2 - meditation center.

MODEL MAKING | HAND DRAFTING | HAND RENDERINGS Reverie Cabin, an activity specific, barrier friendly design, made for meditation. The blocks are placed parallel to the river edge thereby providing an obstructed view. Meditation hall is double volume space with a stream of light coming throughout the day, giving the user a spiritual experience. A continous pathway which leads from the entrance take the user through the woods and ends at a space for contemplation inside the bamboo groove.

The building openings are oriented in such a way that it cuts off all the unwanted noises and brings in only the sound of nature thereby providing an ideal experience for meditation.

WALL HOUSE sem 4 - residence.

AUTOCAD | LUMION “Flat box in-between a pitched roof and bounded by four walls.”

Wall house is located in the outskirts of the Trivandrum district, Kerala. The key requirements of the client was to design a space to lay back and relax in a space which is safe and interesting for their children to grow up in .

Client had few other insights based on his experience and he didn’t wanted a planted courtyard inside the family spaces and suggested to minimize perforations since that’s the doorway for mosquitos, insects and dust.

LEVELLED

sem 5 - primary school / life-line building.

AUTOCAD | SKETCHUP | V-RAY Levelled tries to provide a better learning atmosphere to primary school students at the same time tries to incorperate life-line building capabilities as well.

Function over Form strategy is tried here with multi functional classrooms with an open learing space allows workshops, seminars, groups work layouts to be conducted in the same space without approaching auditorium for every needs.

Zoning is done completely based on the sloping site to create less damage to the mother earth and the central axial nature of the site has been taken and improvised as a main element in the entire design of the primary school.

Portfolio. playground + canteen + services. classrooms + labs + staffrooms. auditorium + library. administration + roof top extended learning space. underground existing RWH. 6m wide main road.

Location: Thiruvallam, Trivandrum

Site zoning and massing is done in a way to fullfill the needs of a primary school and at the same time addressing the needs of a life line structure. Zones are consciously selected and positioned for the proper movement and functioning of the spaces. The presence of an existing rainwater harvestor and the slope of the site towards it gives the idea of a central circulation core and common spaces are stacked in levels.

3 - WALL

architecture competition.

SKETCHUP | PHOTOSHOP 3 - wall is a project initiated as an experimental building out of rammed earth in the city of Dobrova in Slovenia. The project is a fundamental unit with just 3 walls of 3m height of rammed earth and the other connecting walls bringing in transparency with the help of glass held on to steel frames.

The minimalist approach has not only created a dwelling of 29.8sq.m with all necessary functions but has also provided a self sufficient environment.

The 3 WALL perfectly blends with its surroundings and from distance it creates curiosity to the visitors and then reveals the hidden spatial quality once someone reaches that close to the building.

Extended patio spaces promotes the functionality and overall aesthetics of the buildform. Extensive use of wooden furnishing. glass doors and windows has also added more value to our 3 WALL. The sloping roof being an element of Slovenian architecture is retained as much as possible although not in a typical manner.
