Studio Mumbai Architects [Concept stage]

The site is located in Chicolna, Goa on a cliff made of volcanic rocks overlooking the Indian ocean. The Idea is to elegantly craft a mixed-use space containing public spaces (Open to sky Exhibition spaces, Water bodies, Pavilions, etc), Private spaces (Artist residences, Individual homes) & Service spaces. The public & cultural places will be located on the plateau and the intimate private spaces in the valley. Number of water tanks will be located all around the site and will be connected by a series of water channels. Without being physically at the site (Due to the pandemic), to understand the entirety of the site, the plan of the site was manually rastered.
