“Many people take dental care for granted until it is too late. But it isn’t just that, a large number of people actually fear going to the dentist and thus avoid the experience altogether, until the reality of an aching tooth or infection makes it completely necessary for them to visit. Thus the specialist clinic that I chose to design was a dental clinic. (General and periodontics) New Delhi, India Building type: Multi use building (The building ground floor contains many functions and different spaces in a small, compact volume on an urban site.) Site area: 912 m2. (located on the first floor)

DENTAL HEALTH CLINIC SOLACE
Oral disorders have remained the most prevalent disease group in India over the past three decades. According to ministry of health and family welfare, while dental caries affects about 60% and periodontal disease about 85% of the Indian population.
• Location:
INITIAL GOAL: The goal of the design is to provide an interior environment that fosters healing of both the patients’ mind and body. Plants are not only an aesthetic addition to any room, but their qualities have been shown to create a much more calming and relaxed atmosphere. And using aromatherapy and music to relax the patients.

CONCEPT
The mid century furniture, the use of cane, metal and wood throughout the place provides harmony, including the lime painted walls with visual texture and arched walkways. The space will cater to all age groups as well as all types of groups. It promotes interaction, but also respects privacy. It makes the patient feel at home where you can grab a coffee, listen to music, watch something you like or read and forget all about the horrors of dentistry. Its an immersion of all five senses.
THE ENTIRE CONCEPT REVOLVES AROUND SOLACE.
The space will be designed in a way that it is inviting and calming. It’ll feature both dark and light, the Ying and the Yang. The entrance and the waiting areas would feature a dimer, more calming aesthetic, with filtered sun light and warm artificial lighting. Further into the clinic, while nearing the treatment areas the space becomes even brighter to represent transparency and relief.

FURNISHED PLAN
The plan was made keeping in mind ample amount of circulation space and easy navigation. There is a clear path from the entry, to the waiting, then to the treatment area and finally to the pharmacy and through the covered balcony one would reach back to the reception area. Towards the left of the reception is the staff area. It is kept separate in order for the staff to be able to relax without being anxious about work and in a more private way.

CO-WORKING SPACES?

GETTING OUTSIDE OF THE HOME: Working from home is great, but it’s easy to fall into a rut, too.
NETWORKING: When you have so many people with so much in common, it’s only a matter of time until you start to network.
• COMMUNITY: There’s a sense of community

WHY CHOOSE A COWHOSPACE?WORKINGUSES
FREELANCERS OR REMOTE WORKERS: Since freelancers work for themselves, having a pay-as-go type of arrangement can save a fortune.
Sitting desks, standing desks, sofas, couch, bean bags are all normal. Moreover, we know that almost all shared office spaces provide coworkers access to recreational activities within their office space. A sports room with foosball, table tennis, chess board are all things of the past.
CO WORKING SPACE
•
•
• ENTERPRISES: When you have thousands of employees who are working around the world, managing office needs can be a hassle.
• FLEXIBILITY: Rather than signing a long term lease, you can get much more flexible deals with co working spaces.
•
•
NON PROFITS: Many co working spaces offer non profit arrangements or discounts.
BUBBLE DIAGRAM
If we’d have to name one thing about co working spaces that they are known for, then it would be their interiors. The design is so well prepared and executed that a person falls in love with space in the first look. But a detailed research on Co working Trends suggests that this is getting better day by day. We have a couple of new co working spaces opening up on this earth every day and it is the space design which is getting better day by day.
MOTIVATION: There’s just an energy of productivity in the air when you’re in a room full of driven people
SMALL BUSINESSES: Small businesses that don’t want the same overhead as a traditional lease, have flocked to co working.
•
The co-working space design has evolved in a much brighter way.
boardCONCEPTCONCEPT
The colder interiors (autumn / winter) were designed in more welcoming environments, with colors covering the furniture with darker shades. On the other hand, warm temperatures (spring / summer) are recreated in environments where the space between objects breathes more, and where you feel a current of air that injects a cooler atmosphere. There is more life here, it is more vivid and natural. We are designing a space where the seasons coexist with each other; where the dark meets the light.

An important feature of the buildings in Jaisalmer is their porosity, a haveli is full of holes. The holes are different in size, from courtyards and shafts to slots and cavities to finely carved stone jalis, and all this allows passage for cross ventilation cross ventilation through holes
Shading through texture
Jaisalmer is an irregular polygon with a double line of fortification. It is a city within a city. The town is protected by the dust storms from entering from the south west into the city because the streets are aligned at 90degrees from the storms. The architecture of the city displays a strong sense of anonymity which is essentially a cultural trait. In some of the oriental cultures it is part of life and comes naturally to the people. This expression is found specially in domestic architecture. The whole idea of a house in Jaisalmer is developed around the idea of 'privacy'. Depending upon the socio-economic status of the inhabitant, there are three types of houses in Jaisalmer. The spaces acquire non specific character. They accommodate variety of activities during different seasons and different times of the day.
NW SE ORIENTATION IN THE BEST
The heat inside the building in Jaisalmer is controlled by the use of textures. This is organized at three levels.
YOUTH HOSTEL haveli3
In this project we studied about the various environmental and climatic issues of the region assigned ( Jaisalmer). Learnt about various concepts of Green design and sustainable interiors space planning, climate, natural light and ventilation, vernacular material and construction techniques. We also studied aspects of user centric space design and understood nuances of space, keeping in mind its use, users, context: region, climate, requirements, environment, material, construction techniques, etc.

Lying in the midst of the golden city of India, Jaisalmer, this enchanted Indian palace, made especially for the witches and
The Kavad is made only in a village called Bassi, in Chittorgarh District of Rajasthan.
Further down the road you’ll encounter a mystical experience with bottomless bubbles and enchanted cocktails where you can concoct your own potions under the watch of our great wizard.
CONCEPT
wizards on vacation, the design and feel throughout shows mystery and magic and stories that Rajasthan in stores. The palace is filled with magical paintings telling you stories of the past. The passageways are well lit and lead to the enchanted chambers (dorms). Created to conjure a mysterious yet royal feel, each room is dedicated to the main Indian lineages: solar, lunar and fire dynasties. Apart from the enchanted rooms are the mystery chambers with each room featuring magical details and props and let’s not forget the hidden doors, because is it even fun without hidden rooms?
KAVAD
THE ENCHANTED PALACE
The immersive dinning that is curated by the top wizards is spellbinding, but be careful, since it is in the ruins of the mysterious Kuldhara, the village whose entire population disappeared overnight.
And if you feel like your wizarding powers have been over utilized, don’t worry, the healer will help you replenish your powers with a swish of a wand under the mystical wishing tree in the enchanted spa, where you can wish your worries goodbye. But dare not forget this place is for no mundane!
The Kavad is a mobile story telling device that sometimes serves as a temporary temple. It is created by combining the skills of carpentry, painting and narration. As separate professions, the carpenter is called a Suthar, an artist is a chitrakar, and a story teller is a bhat. The Kavad makers combine the work of the carpenter and artist, while the Kavadia Bhats do the narration.
Here I tried to retain the original plans of the haveli as much as possible. In this adaptive reuse building (haveli turned hostel), there are three dorms with 4 bunk beds and attached bathrooms. There are 4 private rooms and all of them are different. The spa has a tub within for guests’ recreation. The bar and the restaurant are open to the public and thus have direct access to the outside, which means the guests residing would not be disturbed. Most the walls would have murals or paintings or bookshelves talking about the stories of Rajasthan. Different places smelling differently and being concealed would provide for the mysterious aura. The façade of the building would add to the same.

Target products at specific market segments and for specific cosmetic solutions: Babies and pregnant mums are obvious examples but also consider segments such as teenage girls, men and health enthusiasts. Market for organic cosmetic? Male or female age 20+ lives in urban or semi urban area, extrovert, adapters belongs from upper and upper middle class and having lifestyle of health conscious, innovator and value oriented VEGAN FREECRUELTY SUSTAINABLE NO PRESERVATIVES ORGANIC IN NATURAL BEAUTY AND HEALTH PRODUCTS WHAT IS THE IMPORTANT THING ? Fascinated by natural healing and aromatherapy I decided to work on an APOTHECARY store. The goal to create sacred space, promote healing, and do all that can be done to help people discover their wisdom within and the innate healing power of the body.
A group of dedicated herbalists and natural health practitioners would not only be custom formulating anything you need for whatever ails you, they would also share their wisdom in community classes and workshops.
CONCEPT
boardCONCEPT
The customer would feel as if they were transported to a space that activates all of their senses. It would an alive space where the herbs, flowers, infusions, and formulas emanate from the shelves. There would be music, you can talk and interact, smell the amazing formulated scents, drink the herbal infused tea etc. It's an envelopment of all five senses.
WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING: employees breathing down your neck and shoving coupons at you. What you will: a lighthearted, welcoming atmosphere with a clean, open aesthetic filled with intricate apothecary bottles and other historical objects. It truly would a community of healing and learning, dedicated to providing access, spreading the wisdom, and sharing the benefits of herbal medicine.

The second: IN/ BETWEEN: This would be a dimly lit and narrow bar portraying the connection to both the first and the second phase which is still insecure and fragile.
THE DOOR CANNOT HELP BUT HINT AT THE SPACE BEYOND ITS PLANAR SURFACE /
The problem with this rhetoric of inside/outside is that such polemics neglect the fact that these are not fixed conditions, that most of us are potentially both inside and outside at the same time. the moment between inside and outside. Henry Urbach coined the term ‘Ante Closet, defining the space before the closet: a space for changing an effect of re appropriations and re significations without end. It resists fixed identities by allowing space to fold, unfold and fold again.
The phrase “coming out of the closet” was used extensively since the 60s to describe a queer individual explicitly making their identity and preferences known. The architectural construct of the closet described the person’s deepest desires, their wishes, the clothes that they wore when they were in the company of their friends and confidants. The closet was central to this image of heterosexual whiteness. It holds things at the edge of the room, at once concealing and revealing its interior.
/ THE CLOSET, IN THE END, CAN ONLY BE SO INCONSPICUOUS.
• Entry through the closet: The closet would be represented using a passage way with a structural closet on the front façade.
Washrooms: They would be in an open plan divided by usage.
LGBTQ+ people and allies or even the people who identify as male or female. The architecture itself would be queer so exclusively queer inhabitants won’t be necessary in order to make it a queer space.

“Nightclubs test the limits of what societies deem acceptable” They’ve met their lovers in these spaces. They’ve met activists in these spaces. They’ve become politicized in these spaces.”
The first: IN/ VISIBLE: This would be the space built from binary thought, and reliant on perceived identities or belonging. The space would be an area to build a community. And the first destination the person reaches right after getting into the closet.

Location ( Jibhi)
Serenity descends on you when you are at Jibhi. Jibhi is a place to completely unwind and indulge in relaxing activities. Even though the market for micro homes is increasing, it still isn’t that popular since houses in India are still seen as a status symbol for many. Micro homes are ideal for people who prefer location to ample space. And a location like this does just that. It promotes off the grid sustainable living or can also act as a second home for those looking for refuge from the hectic city lives.

Parameters TIME: Using prefabrication and sourcing materials locally would save tons of construction time.
AFFORDABILITY: Using sustainable and vernacular material also helps saving on cost. And using renewable energy might look expensive up front but in the long run it definitely helps save money.
• Walls of the house are formed by a framework with wooden posts in vertical connected by a system of struts and bindings, intervals between which are filled with insulation material and finally exterior and interior we finish with wooden siding.
• The main advantage of these frame based wooden home is that you can build it at any remote destination area as prefabricated joinery it is light in weight, these are easy to transport, easily lift and assemble and the combination of stone or composite panels, same as wallpapers and decorative boards can be used along with wooden elements in interiors and exteriors.

This chair has just two legs, with a seat cantilevered over them. The design makes it easier to move on carpeting than a four legged chair. George Nakashima made this chair out of a slab of walnut wood in 1971. He named this chair “Conoid Chair” because it was as daring as his studio in New Hope, Pennsylvania, a structure modeled on the section of a cone. The studio’s elegant window walls inspired the thin hickory spindles of the chair back, rising up to support a gently arched cross member. This design also recalls the colonial tradition of simple, functional, spindle back chair. The design of the product is accurate in every detail and reveals the search for minimalist elegance through careful study.
