wooden house
Jaisalmer | Wood | Sem III, VI
Residence for a family of five in Jaisalmer. The program was to design a weekend house for a family on the outskirts of a city with hot and dry climate. The material to be used was wood. Full freedom was given for developing the brief.
The concept of this project was inspired by wooden trusses. the idea was to use the fundamentals of a truss as the structure to give the overall geometry and form of the house. further exploring with the walls and partitions to make a climate responsive house giving a wonderful play of light and shadows from inside as well as outside.

All the classrooms are kept at the basement level which is accessible by a ramp. Activity zones and administrative zones are on the ground floor. The Banyan tree provides a place for gathering and playing around for the children. Three such open spaces are there in the campus. All the blocks are in touch of nature in one way or another.

pavilion
Morocco| Concrete, Brick | Sem V
A multipurpose pavilion in Morocco in middle of nowhere. Brief was to design a pavilion with a capacity of 200 people. It had to include food stalls as well as washrooms for the people
The process started by making small conceptual models of multipurpose spaces and from them developing one idea for detailing at a larger scale. I chose two models to merge them with one another creating a mix of the two.
The first concept was inspired from a floating box in a waterbody giving a sense of something emerging out of it. Further developed to provide protection from sandstorm and creating indirect entry with keeping the sense of openness. Second concept was based on exploration with arches and jail walls along with the play of light and shadow. The mix of two resulted in two multipurpose halls on 2 levels along with food court and washrooms on the middle floor.
ANDC
Located at the eastern bank of the walled city, Ahmedabad, lies a world of its own. An amalgamation of diversity and the foundation of Ahmed Shah’s creation, we recognize it as the ‘old city.’ The icons have been here all their lives, including the Bhadra fort, teen Darwaja, and Sidi Sayyad. The project focuses around preserving the heritage of the heritage city, bringing back the essence.
