Site. Three consecutive raw houses, Ellisbridge area, Ahmedabad, Gujatat

Client. Amit Ambala-an artist Area. 370 sq m Time Period. 16 weeks

This studio involves the design of an institution where the spatial, structural, form with discipline and relationship of building to its immediate context have to be evolved.

The reuse of the heritage building has revived its value by providing a new function inside and by retaining the old facade outside.

The interpretation of the raw houses can be typically stacked cubicles. where as the new function demands contemporary character of the space.

Thus the concept has been derived from the meaning of contemporary arts.
