Responsible and dedicated architect with a strong focus on space and built environment experience. Strongly believes in teamwork as well as time management.

5 star hotel? / Thesis Project Commercial / Chandigarh / 5.9 acres “5 Star Hotel?” is a project which consolidates two polar views into one structure. The typology that asks for maximalist approach while the city context needs minimalist approach - fixed height and material choices. This was a study, an interrogation to understand if polar entities can be met through architecture or not.
Volumetric distribution of space
Hence, that interrogation mark in “5 Star Hotel?” In physics, resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or external force drives another system to oscillate with greater amplitude at specific frequencies. Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as the system’s resonant frequencies or resonance frequencies.

Reshaping the hotel block so as to get best view

Project Pixel / Competition Entry Temporary Pavilion / Milan Selected in Top 50 Entries Worldwide A space which defines, soothes and metaphysically combine with its parent environment but still reflects the time it’s living in; which forever changes it’s skin with blue and pink tints of sky, green and ochres of trees and the life & death of the weeds. While the fashion attracts the eye of a viewer, nature helps it to meditate. The major breakthrough of this design is to use the element of fashion and the nature in synergy. The mirror and concrete is used to show the sharp & enigmatic side of the fashion while the greens and recycled wooden decks are equivalent to the humble & motherly attachment to the nature. The intervention hence designed is a flexible, refreshing and a multifunctional spatial idea with minimum modular components which could be used as a park furniture or a seating for the visitors on a smaller scale; or an exhibition space and a pavilion on a larger scale.

A humble try to use metaphoric resemblance of spaces to naturally occurring phenomena in our nature. Usage of delta as a metaphoric equivalent to a hospital; one looking over the ecologically sensitive flora and fauna, another one looking over the health of another set of living beings. “Using materials other than Steel, Glass and Brick�
Staff Section Diagnostics Administration In-Patient department
Metaphorism has always been prevalent in architectural designs. An object which is not related to the building in any physical nature, is related and corresponded to that. This is an attempt to use a metaphor and hence align the notion of relatability of two contrasting objects.
