JAWAHRAT RIYADH HANGING GARDEN RESTAURANTS & RESIDENTIAL COMPOUND

Client: Fawaz Al Hokair Real Estate Company Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais Site Area: 144,883 sqm Built up Area: 248,288 sqm Description: The hanging garden restaurants are a part of the mall and face the open space in the residential compound which is a vibrant space. This residential compound has apartment buildings set on either side of the water body and at the other end hotel towers flank this open sapce thus creating a courtyard. Retail outlets and coffee shops comprise the ground floor layer whereas there are three levels of basement parking underneath. 6

My Contribution: Taking instructions for Mr. Hareth, the sketch of the elevation, massing in sketchup and subsequent addition of details were all done by me. I also produced the sketch renders in vray. Later when Mr. Ricardo took charge of this project as a Project Architect, I worked with him on various aspects of the residential compound from design of individual apartments to their facade design to their arrangement on site to designing of hardscape and softscape of the site. This involved making of cad drawings and subsequent coloring of plans in photoshop and finally making presentation brochures in indesign.

GROUND MEZZ. FIRST MEZZ.

The podium level of the apartments is connected thriughout the length and is fully landscaped. It acts as a communal semi-private space for the residents. It will have small coffee shops, lounges, swimming pools, banquet halls and the like. The landscape design for the podium level was done by me in autocad and photoshop based on the sketches by the project manager. Later as the design eveolved closed and semi open courtyards were introduced and the layout was also revised. The new massing and layouts were carried out by me under the guidance of Mr. Hareth. The plot sizes and divisions were given by the municipality and so were adhered to.

The facade of the apartment blocks is of a contemporary style but at the same it allows the user to exercise privacy by closing the sliding folding screens of the popping out balconies. The language of the pop out boxes was used to follow the language of the boxes of the hanging garden restaurants. The vertical louvers on the side facades help keep the harsh summer sun at bay while also maintaining the privacy. The plans above are of the option in which each apartment block has its own private courtyard. There are three or four circulation cores in each block and they only serve the units attached to them. This planning principle allowed us to eliminate corridors thus reducing the travel distance and emergency exit staircases. 9

DHAHRAN BOULEVARD

Client: Fawaz Al Hokair Real Estate Company Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Site Area: Built up Area: Description: This project is based on the on idea of a contemporary style souq. An extension to Dhahran mall this boulevard will have retail outlets and coffe shops. The facades are envisaged to be of an eclectic mix of contemporary and neo-classical styles to give an impression of an organically developed street architecture. The building of the entire project is spread out in six phases.

My Contribution: This was one of the first design projects in which I was directly involved. Infact the sketch renders on the previous leaf were done by me in vray and modelled on sketchup. With instructions from Mr. Hareth I did some research on how contemporary commerecial street would look and then modelled the facades in sketchup. They were liked by Mr. Hareth and were then used by the visualiser team to prepare final renders with landscaping and other elements. Presentation brochures and animations were thus prepared.

NAKKASAH MECCA COMPETITION ENTRY

Client: Mecca Governorate Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Diego Brieva Site Area: 469,612 sqm Built up Area: 2,500,000 sqm

Description: A team from ECHO ARCHITECTURE was comprised to work on this competition entry of which I was a part and had an important role to play. As evident the elements of the facade are inspired from traditional Jeddah Architecture. The project comprises of a mall, residential towers wth retail below, office towers and luxury hotels. The site is laced with a network of pedestrian walkways as well as monorails. The site is atop a hill which is 2.5 kms away from Haram and has magnificient views towards it. The terraced landscaped courtyard forms a commmunication link between the mall and the residential blocks.

My Contribution: Under direct instructions from Mr. Hareth I designed the facades of the the towers, modelled them in sketchup and rendered them in vray. As evident the elements of the facade are inspired from traditional Jeddah Architecture. The image of the cascading block above the master plan on the previous leaf is another option for the hotel block which flanks the mall on the two extreme ends. I also helped Mr. Diego in preparing presentation brochures in which I prepared massing study models and area statements. The final renders were prepared by our visualiser team which included images as well as walk-throughs.

CASCINA MERLATA, MILAN MALL WITH CINEPLEX AND HYPER-MARKET

My Contribution: Initially I worked on the setting out of the mall and later on I worked on the parking layout for all the levels. The fire fighting codes were a challenge to deal with. Simultaneously I worked on area calculations and eventually helped Mr. Ricardo with coloring of plans in photoshop and presentation brochures in indesign. The sections were done by me as well. I also prepared sketchup study models and sketch renders in vray. The final renders were generated by our visualiser team.

Client: Fawaz Al Hokair Real Estate Company Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais Site Area: 72,500 sqm Built up Area: 243,910 sqm Description: Our clients made a deal with the original owners of this project who hailed from Italy and acquired the property while some ground work had already happened on site. The building is in two parts-one on the left is retail in three levels and two levels of car parking underneath and that on the right has a cineplex and a hypermarket with a piazza in between them and four levels of car parking underneath. The piazza connects the residential commercial neighborhood on the south side to the metro station on the north side with the help of ramps and an over-bridge. The bridge connecting

these two masses at the intermediate level between first and second level of the mall, houses a food court. Under this bridge are two two-lane roads (pre-planned) connecting the neighborhood to the interstate on the north side of the mall.

FLORENCE LAND FOOTBALL STADIUM AND MALL

Client: Fawaz Al Hokair Real Estate Company Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais, Xavier Roman Site Area: 72,500 sqm Built up Area: 243,910 sqm

Description: The mall was designed as a mass wrapping around the football stadium. There is a pedestrian walkway connecting the main entrance of the football stadium with the existing metro station. The football stadium and its podium are envisaged as a sharp object in space contrasting with the curvilinear shape of the mall. The skin of the stadium is porous to let natural day light inside.

My Contribution: I worked on the landscape design for most part of this project. The entrance court of the mall and the pedestrian walk-way from stadium to the metro station. I also drafted the plans and sections for the stadium and designed the parkinng layout. Colored the plans and sections in photoshop and also worked on the muti-level parking layout of the mall.

JEDDAH GATEWAY CITY AIRPORT

Client: General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais, Javier Roman, Daniel Vilabroza Site Area: 737,900 sqm Built up Area: 621,650 sqm Description: The vision for Jeddah Gateway City airport is about the establishment of a multifunctional centre with immense potential to sustain a wide variety of economic, social and civic activities. Thus to address such ambitious and complex challenges the idea was to propose an integrated master plan uniquely manifested to combine business, commercial, retail in addition to a resident population in a landscaped and pedestrian orientated network. The principles and goals align with contemporary lifestyles, regional traditions and environmental aspirations of the site to offer a unique urban environment.

My Contribution: Mr. Ricardo was assigned the task of reworking of the presentation booklet and I being in his team was entrusted with making models of the blocks which I did in sketchup. Not only this but I also designed facades of these blocks (office, residential, educational, retail, conference, exhibition). The view on the bottom left is my idea of office and conference in the middle and exhibition below. The view obove it that has a massive cantilever is of educational block. The top left view is that of the office blocks facing the main arterial roads. The axonometric view of the site (top centre) used to illustrate the land use was modelled in sketchup and rendered in vray. Same goes for the zoning model view beneath it. The landscaped courtyard of the office block (top right) was designed, modelled and rendered by me. I modelled and rendered the view on the right leaf as well. Mr. Ricardo did the post production. 16

JEDDAH GATEWAY CITY AIRPORT

ZAHRA MALL, JEDDAH FOODCOURT DESIGN

Client: Fawaz Al Hokair Real Estate Company Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais, Javier Roman Site Area: 161,500 sqm Built up Area: 96,000 sqm Food Court Area: 4,800 sqm Description: The mass of the mall is such that it has concave curves on the front sides and also in the profile of the facade. This dramatizes the perspetive result and adds an element of dynamism to the over all shape. The front canopy is stunning in

in the way it hovers above the entrance court supported by slender steel colums which puncture through the large holes in it. The inside of the mall is fairly simple and uses principles of symmetry for arrrangement of hallways and corridors. The entrance court side has a double heght hallway and on the first floor are food court, entertainment, some retail, offices, praying areas, toilets. The project is still in the planning stage.

My Contribution: Right from working on concept of the flooring for ground floor common areas and flooring, ceiling and furniture layout of the food court on the first floor to preparing cad drawings to making 3d views of the food court in sketchup and rendering the shots in vray to construction packages for all these areas I did my best to create holistic, simple and happening spaces. The food court area on the first floor of which

a rendered perspective is provided below is where I did the concept and the rest of the drawings and packages as well as 3d models and renders. the square food court units hide most of the columns in them and different zones are created in the column free areas of the floor. Each zone has a color scheme and a dedicated shape around which the design is developed. I-Gzzini light trees are placed inside the hexagonal seating arrange-

ment. The chairs and tables are from the Pedrali range and floor tiles are from the Marazzi brand. The stretch membrane system of lighting developed by Barrisol is proposed for the hexagonal shaped suspended ceiling lights in the view below and also for other shapes in the other zones of the food court.

Client: Marakez Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais Site Area: 420,816 sqm Built up Area: 151,821 sqm Description: Marakez - an established real estate group from Egypt were quite impressed with the form and layout of Nakheel mall and thus wanted a similar one for them in Soukna - a satellite town to the east of Cairo. Not only that but as the site was huge so they also wanted to have a cineplex, a boulevard as well as a club house and Ikea. My Contribution: Initially I worked on the facades of the shops in the boulevard. City Walk - Dubai was used as a reference. Used sketchup for modelling and vray for rendering. The renders displayed here are done by our visualiser team. Later I worked on the entire site development in which I designed the parking layout for the entire site, did hardscaping and softscaping, prepared sie grading and storm water drainage layout. For the boulevard I gave the concept as well as made the flooring layout. For the mall which was phase one of the project, I did shopfront elevation drawings. The sketches on the next leaf are done by me as a part of the design process for the option where the boulevard shops would have traditional Egytian Architecture facades. 20

Description: Proposals for extension were given by us to a Turkish food joint for their coffee shop next to the north entrance gate of the mall and to a Dubai based client who wanted a ladies gym on the first floor for which we designed the entrance. Obviously these were done in the language of stripes which drapes the entire mall. The internal layouts were not done by us though. Plan

Section X ECHO ARCHITECTURE

09 September 2016 - 1207EAAPP0003 - 2

My Contribution: Under the project stewardship of Mr. Ricardo I did modelling of the east facade of the mall and added our proposed gate design to it for ladies gym entrance. I also did modelling for the north gate entrance portion of the mall and then added our design proposal for the Turkish restaurant Emirgan Suitis. For ladies gym entrance the facade was rendered seperately and photo montaged with the existing facade to give a feel of it to the client. In all three optins were proposed. The one displayed above is the one chosen by the client. I also worked on sectional elevations For Emirgan Suitis I did vray renders and also colored the plans.

JAWAHRAT JEDDAH HALLWAY AND NUCKLE AREA COFFEE SHOPS

Client: Fawaz Al Hokair Real Estate Company Lead Architect: Hareth Al Marsumi Project Architect: Ricardo Grais Site Area: 170,000 sqm Built up Area: 256,000 sqm

The water features in the coffee shops have infinity edges to them with a tree planted in it occasionally. I also created some bold flooring pattern for these public areas. The sketch on the right is an idea for a small water feature

with rocks, trees and fountains. There are hidden lights underneath it impart floating effect to the pebble shaped water feature.

Description: The internal layout of the mall and the external form is similar to Nakheel mall although its considerably bigger in size. The municipality submissions were over and it was the stage where we had to do the interiors. My Contribution: I was assigned the task of designing the coffee shops in the hallways and knuckle areas. The linear coffee shop is for the hallway and the triangular shape coffee shop is for the knuckle area. The resulting layouts are interesting in many ways. The linear one has two coffee shops which are exactly same and rotated 180Â° such that the preparation areas are together and share the same service core. Same goes for the knuckle coffee shops.

LUSH GROVE RESORT, KODAIKANAL COTTAGES AND VISITOR CENTER

Client: Lush Grove Enterprise Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Nandini Site Area: 9,300 sqm Built up Area: 3,000 sqm Description: Kodaikanal is a hill station in Kerala and this site is thus this site is extremely contoured. The resort project is conceived as a coglomeration of duplex cottages inter-connected with a winding tarred road. The main building is the jewel in the crown for this project. The site also has a twin cottage and a triangular plan cottage as well. Driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resting area is provided as well. The cottages are oriented to face the valley to have maximum views. My Contribution: The planning had already been done when I joined the team. I worked extensively on preparing sketchup models of all the blocks as well as the site. I also did vray renders. Simultaneously I also

worked on the construction drawing package. I also attended client meetings and meetings with other consultants and engineers. Co-ordination with site engineers and contractors was also a part of my job in this project. My work was well appreciated by Mr. Sujay. 28

ANANTHA RESORT, BENGALURU COTTAGES AND VISITOR CENTER

Client: Sai Developers Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Nandini Site Area: 27,700 sqm Built up Area: 2,300 sqm Description: Set on an almost flat land contrary to Lush Grove Resort, Anantha Resort gives its visitor ample opportunities to move around the whole plot which has lots of trees and lawns. The drop shaped twin cottages with a thatched roof on them in the shape of a leaf helps the guest connect with nature and feel relaxed. The reception area is grand and welcoming. the entire site is dotted with sculptures and laid with meandering pathways so that one can lose oneself and feel one with nature. My Contribution: The project was in the sketch and presentation stage when I got involved with it. Once more I was asked to make sketchup models of the cottages especially which I did and also did some sketch renders. Later on I worked on developing the master plan. I designed the waiting and reception area which is part of the welcome court. The mass of this building is made porous by inserting two courtyards on either side of the reception hall. The sketch I did for this building was very much liked by Mr. Sujay and so he got it drafted as is.

KISHORE THALARI RESIDENCE, BENGALURU CONTEMPORARY VERNACULAR RESIDENCE

Client: Mr. Kishore Thalari Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Nandini Site Area: 6,814 sft Built up Area: 6,063 sft

Description: The bungalow is located on the suburb area inside a gated community which is a peaceful location. The design is based on vastu principles and the style is neo-vernacular. The soil type being hard rock load bearing foundation is used and done with locally available granite. The basement and the super structure are in concrete though.

My Contribution: Initial sketches of the bungalow were done when I took charge of the project. I worked on refining the design based the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input. I made skecthup models and did vray renders which immensely helped the client visualize form and space of the house. I also prepared the construction drawing package and co-or dinated with site engineers and co tractors. I held meetings with the suppliers of roof shingles as well fenesta for windows.

LIMAYE RESIDENCE, BENGALURU RESIDENCE FOR A MUSICIAN Client: Mrs. Prawara Limaye Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Nandini Site Area: 4,124 sft Built up Area: 3,610 sft

Description: Mrs. Limaye is an accomplished singer by profession and the couple wanted a space in their new house where theycan conduct music classes. So the house is designed around a circular space which has a terrace garden above and the surface left as is with existing huge rocks where the students would sit. The house is in a contemporary vernacular style with split level planning. The tall chimney like structure at the corner is a vertical courtyard. The transition from the double heighted living room to the living areas is through a rectangular vertical box in the wall of which a 2D line image of buddha sits. My Contribution: Initial concept drwings were done and I mostly worked on building the sketchup model and rendering them in vray for client presentations. I later worked on refining the plans and also on the column layout drawings which involved use of steel columns. 31

PRATAPA RESIDENCE, BENGALURU

VISHWANATH RESIDENCE, BENGALURU

RESIDENCE WITH INTERNAL DOUBLE HT. GREEN SPACE Client: Mr. Pratapa Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Myself Plot Area: 2,400 sft Built up Area: 5,075 sft

Description: The plot is located in a densely populated area with high FSI. This allowed the use of maximum footprint. The client wanted a green space inside the house. The covered courtyard thus connects the living room to the upper private living areas. The facade of the bungalow is of a contemporary style.

CONTEMPORARY AND COMPACT My Contribution: In this project I worked on the schematic with inputs from client and Mr. Sujay and simultaneously developed sketchup model to better visualize the spaces as well as for presentations. I also did site visits and took some key decisions like location of the underground water tank which was well appreciated by the client.

Description: The client wanted to build upper floors on his existing G+1 house. The requirement was of some bedrooms and a terrace patio.

Client: Mr. Vishwanath Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Myself Plot Area: 1,515 sft Built up Area: 1,942 sft My Contribution: I designed the elevation for this house in a contemporary style and it was right away liked and accepted by both Mr. Sujay and the client. I did a sketchup model for better understanding of the facade as well as the color scheme. Later I worked on layout plans and detailing of the facade.

HITECH APARTMENTS, BANGALORE A PLAYFUL FACADE

Client: Hitech Builders Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Myself Plot Area: 3,081 sft Built up Area: 9,704 sft Description: This apartment building sits on a very tight plot in densely populated locality in Bangalore. So the efficient use of space to maximise returns was imperative. The builder also wanted vastu principles to be incorporated. Providing car parking spaces for all the tenents was also bit of a challenge.

My Contribution: I was instructed by Mr. Sujay to prepare a scheme for this project. Once a sketch layout was ready I worked on the facade design for this building. This elevation was my very first option and was immediately accepted and very much appreciated by Mr. Sujay. As the worked progressed I worked on detailing the plans and elevations and also prepared technical drawings for execution on site. The outcome as can be seen in the photographs was very close to the concept. In principle this facade is a play of horizontal and vertical planes and rectangular frames and the use of colors and textures enhance the way these elements have been juxtaposed.

BLOCK PLANT FOR MERSEN INDIA PVT. LTD., BENGALURU EXTENSION AND REDEVELOPMENT Client: Mersen India Pvt. Ltd. Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Myself Plot Area: 29,302 sqm Built up Area: 2,705 sqm

high temperatures, fuses and anticorrosion equipment. Opus Architects was commissioned the task of redevelopment, extension and expansion of the existing plants on this Bommasandra plant. Phase-1 involved extension of the existing block plant. Phase-2 had to do with redevelopment of the existing block plant. The requirement was to double the shop floor area by doubling the witdth of the shell Description: Mersen (known as Carbone without using intermediate supports or stopping the process for a very Lorraine until 2010) is an international long time. Thus the selfmanufacturing company with French orisupporting roofing system gins, which is a global expert in electrical specialties and graphite-based materials.

was made use of. This spanning system was developed in the US for quick and easy construction of military camps. In tis system a corrugated galvanized steel sheet of a specific thickness determined by structural calculations is put thru a machine which arches it to a specific radius by crimping it. These segments of arches are then hoisted by cranes and secured in place over horizontal steel girders

supported by steel columns. The bulge on the sides was done with a separate set of arched steel segments and windows were

inserted in between.

My Contribution: Initially after schematic plans were done I developed a sketchup model of both existing and proposed block plants and used the scene transition feature in sketchup to demonstrate to the clients how the process of redevelopment would be carried out. Both the client and Mr. Sujay were highly impressed with this. Later as the work progressed I worked on construction package of the block plant and also made detail design drawings for the various junctions. I also made detail sketchup models for the same and included them in the construction package for the better understanding of the contractor and fabricators.

I also attended board meetings where key decisions were made together by client, Opus and suppliers. I also worked on preparing and issuing tender documents and later co-ordinated the work on site with site engineers, structural engineers and contractors.

was next to it which I did by making sketches on the white board. The concern was immediately clear to them and thus necessary precationary steps were taken with their consent.

Once I had to explain the client how the digging of the foundation pit might affect the huge mechanical equipment which was next to it which 35

COLONEL RAJUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S APARTMENT, BENGALURU PLANES, RECTANGLES AND SQUARES Client: Colonel Raju Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Myself

Description: Colonel Raju wanted some contemporary styled interiors done for his newly bought semi-furnished three bedroom apartment. The scope of this project was making furniture for the entire apatment. this included a shoe rack at the entrance, a TV unit in the living room, a crockery unit in the dining area, kitchen cabinets and pull-out drawers, all three bedroom furniture such as beds and wardrobes and furniture for bathrooms as well.

My Contribution: I sketched the concept for the shoe, tv unit and dining unit furniture which was highly appreciated by Mr. Sujay and gave a go ahead for its execution. The idea was to use a couple of planes that ran across the living room and binded together the TV unit and the dining unit. The shoe rack at the entrance was conceptualized in a similar fashion where a plane wrapped around it which would form a bench at the entrance and a shelving unit for curios on the living room wall.

I made sketchup models and did vray renders for presentation purposes and later made complete set of execution drawings for this design. I also paid site visits and co-ordinated work on site with carpenters. The outcome was a pleasing composition of planes and cuboids which also served their purpose for which they were built.

ARUN CONSTRUCTIONS OFFICE BUILDING, BENGALURU FACADE DESIGN AND OFFICE INTERIORS

Description: The client wanted a contemporary facade for the building he had acquired and also wanted interiors done for his new office in this building. So a vertical plane starting at the bottom would culminate above the terrace bent at an angle so as to form a canopy. The interiors of the office were also of a minimalist style with the leaf shape governing and dominating the design scheme.

My Contribution: I prepared the complete construction package for the canopy on the terrace and also co-ordinated with contractors on the site. I designed the reception desk of the Arun Constructions office. I modelled my design in sketchup and the same highly appreciated and right away accepted by Mr. Sujay. The construction package was done by Mrs. Ishrat Idris Ali

BALDWINS HIGH SCHOOL, BENGALURU AN INVOLUTE PLANE WITH SOME PUNCTURES Client: Baldwins Education Society Lead Architect: Sujay Ghorpadkar Project Architect: Myself Plot Area: NA Built up Area: 2,900 sqm

Description: Baldwins Education Society wanted an extension to their existing facility by adding class rooms and an amphitheatre. Opus proposed to bind these two separate activity areas with an involute curve gradually rising as it moves from the amphitheatre stage towards grand hall. The plane was supposed to be in exposed brick masonry to stand in stark contrast with the white masses. This plane would have square openings scattered over a portion of it and some vertical openings.

My Contribution: I worked extensively towards getting the involute curve right in plan. Later prepared sketchup models and did sketch renders for design and presentation purposes. I also worked on the layout drawings of the classroom block and issued setting out drawings to the contractors on site. I also attended client meetings.

SHK ASSOCIATES, Nagpur Feb 2009 - Oct 2011

PRIYADARSHINI INSTITUTE OF DESIGN STUDIES (PIADS), LTJSS CAMPUS, NAGPUR CONTEMPORARY VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE AND LOCAL MATERIALS Client: LTJSS Lead Architect: Habeeb Khan Project Architect: Diba Raza Plot Area: 8,090 sqm Built up Area: 8,011 sqm Description: Architect Habeeb Khan is well known for his contemporary vernacular approach in designing his projects and when SHK was commissioned the task of designing a college of architecture for LTJSS he went ahead with the same approach. The entire campus is designed around a huge oblong courtyard which has a bridge slicing it into two and connecting the first floor level corridors. These corridors envelop the courtyard and have classrooms and studios opening on to it. A huge entrance porch defines the entry to the building-to its left are admin areas and a library and to the right are classrooms, studios and other student activity areas. The ground floor facade is visually heavy with a row of arches puncturing it while the upper floors are kept light by making use of steel members. ‘Y’ shaped columns support the pitched roof over the second floor of the building. The south side of the building has classrooms on all its three floors. The south facade has no fenestrations for the classrooms for climatic reasons and thus to have natural day light inside classrooms there are courtyards inserted in between and so each classroom shares one courtyard. Although the structure is mostly concrete but wherever the structural members are exposed it is steel such steel stanchions, floor struts in corridors, roof rafters, joists and purlins, etc. Mesh reinforced concrete screens ‘jaali’ panels are used in south and west facades as sun filters. A double layer of mangalore tiles are used for covering pitches roofs.

My Contribution: This was the very first project I worked on when I joined SHK. The design stage was over and I was to prepare construction package which I did using autocad. I also did meetings with the representatives of the client and also with structural engineers. I paid regular site visits to check progress of work and co-ordinated work on site with different contractors such as steel work, roofing, cladding, etc. I also did flooring layouts and co-ordinated the same on site with craftsmen. I learnt a lot about designing of pitched roofs and flooring patterns. 44

LEVEL +8848MM

Description: Pench National Park which is also a Tiger Reserve Forest is well know for its setting for Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Jungle Book’. Located in the heart of India in the state of Madhya Pradesh it attracts millions of tourists every year who wish to see the beautiful Bengal Tiger in its natural setting as well as relax and enjoy the peaceful forest atmosphere. As a result a number of resorts have sprung up in the vicinity of the forest over the years and this project is one of them. The setting out is pretty simple and organic with cottage units spread out across the periphery of the site. Each cottage unit has lots of empty space around it and occasionally has an existing tree in its court. They are interconnected via a paved pathway. These cottage units have one or two courts and sometimes a verandah. The hatched portions of the site are where no buildings can be built for ecological reasons and so outdoor recreational activities are planned in this area. EAVES LEVEL

My Contribution: I got involved with the project during the sketch design stage. I made 3d models of the cottages in sketchup in a lot of detail and the exported jpeg images were used by Ar. Habeeb Khan for his presentations to the client. These images added a new and fresh dimension to the presentations as 3d models of this detail were not done in house for any of the project previously. Later I worked extensively on the construction package of the cottages and paid occasional site visits. During my site visits I supervised the grid setting out, location of the cottages and tweaking the same to save important trees from getting cut.

This project was a very good learning experience for me in terms of hospitality design. I learnt some cardinal principles about spatial planning and zoning of resort design. I learnt a lot about contemporary vernacular architectural design principles and their contextuality. I also learnt how to make decisions on site and how to tweak design as per site conditions.

MRIG RESIDENCE, NAGPUR CONTEMPORARY VERNACULAR STYLE AND LOCAL MATERIALS

Client: Mr. Mrig Lead Architect: Habeeb Khan Project Architect: Myself Site Area: 1,031 sqm Built up Area: 726 sqm

Description: The site is located in a serene and oppulent area of Nagpur city. ‘Seminary Hills’ which is a couple of hundred meters away and other campuses and green fields form the vicinity of this site. Thus to take maximum advantage of the micro climate the house is designed to be very airy. The ‘L’ form of the house encompasses a lawn with a lofty living room in the middle. The traditional verandah at the entrance is made more traditional by the sourced vidarbha wooden columns supporting a stone clad wall. But its the huge covered terrace on the second floor that lets one enjoy the wonderful micro climate of this area. All in all this house is a elegant blend of contemporary living spaces and vernacular architectural design style.

My Contribution: Taking over the design development of this porject from the sketch stage I worked on the 3d model of it developed in sketchup to study the various massing as well as spatial elements. as the design work progressed I worked on detail design drawings working out its sections and elevations and finally the construction drawing package all in autocad. I held meetings with the structural design consutant occasionally. Also paid site visits on various important stages of the project. I also coordinated with civil and fabrication contractors. 52

SCHOOL OF PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE, BHOPAL COMPETITION ENTRY

Description: The hostel layout plan was literally developed by tracing the old Jaipur city plan. The resulting layout was thus very organic in nature. The facade treatment was also done in traditional vernacular style. The School of Architecture and Planning has its studios and other similar spaces organised around odd shaped courtyards thus giving rise to a very organic entity as a whole. Integrity of design is achieved by using mangalore tiles for roofing. The arrays of arched openings and carved wooden columns as well as steel members supporting the chhajjas gives rhythm to the facades. The hardscape is of fired clay bricks.

My Contribution: In this project I used my expertise of sketchup and knowledge of the use of vernacular architectural design elements like the wooden columns, steel trusses for sloping roofs, railing designs for hostel units, street scapes, window and balcony designs and so on. I paid great attention to details while modelling these elements and arranging them to achieve the desired architectural vocabulary.

SPACE DESIGNERS, Muscat Aug 2007 - Nov 2008

RESIDENTIAL COMPOUND, MUSCAT CONTEMPORARY STYLE VILLAS Client: Akbar Haji Lead Architect: Mr. Gupta Project Architect: Yogesh M. Site Area: 5,201 sqm Built up Area: 5,802 sqm

Description: The project comprises of luxurious twin villas set out closely though neatly within a small plot near the costline in Muscat city. These duplexes have their independent covered car port.

My Contribution: I was assigned with the responsibility of designing the elevations of the villas. As seen in the sketches, I composed the facades using mostly horizontal and vertical planes and rectangular shapes. Instead of mirroring the facade elements of the twin villas, I rather composed the entire facade of the twin villas. Later, the villa types were developed in sketchup for study, further design and presentation purposes. I also worked with the structural engineer for conflict resolution and made necessary changes in the design as per structural requirements. 56

GULF COLLEGE, MUSCAT SOLID MASSES AROUND AN OPEN COURT Client: GC Authority Lead Architect: Mr. Gupta Project Architect: Yogesh M. Site Area: 24,000 sqm Built up Area: 29,700 sqm Description: The myriad of activities had to be fit inside a relatively small plot which thus gave rise to densely juxtaposed multi-storey towers. Nevertheless there are ample green spaces and adequate parking lots. The design vocabulary is simple yet robust with bulky turrets defining the corners of the rectangular masses. My Contribution: My job was to develop the 3D model in sketchup so that the sketch plans can be envisaged in the 3rd dimensions and thus can be further developed as regards the facade design and volumetric interplay of the masses. This would also help us to understand the void spaces as well as shading of the spaces during different seasons of the year. I also prepared the peresentation for the clients in powerpoint.
