To Whom It May Concern:
Ishan Dsa interned with our company during the month of June in 2018. He worked on several projects; specifically in areas of site analysis, base map input and design study. On the Martinez project, he used the existing property survey and sited items (i.e. trees, hardscape structures, fencing, shrubs) to complete the base map in preparation for the landscape master plan. The Morrison-Hagens Gate / Fence project required the measurement of topography with a level and transit, in addition to the site measurements for the base map. Ishan also completed several design studies, which include 3-D modeling, for the gate and fencing for the project. His ideas were creative as well as attractive. Ishan was punctual, thorough in his work and took initiative in the projects he was assigned. He also interacted with several clients and the feedback I received was very positive. Ishan was a pleasure to work with and has a bright future in the design profession. If you have any specific questions concerning his time with our firm please feel free to contact me.

THE HIVE Architecture Competition Project Host: UNI Team: Ishan Dsa & Abhilash Menon Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands August 2021 Our proposal initiated by exploring the idea of “social housing”. The project aims to have a seamless connection between community and housing. We achieved this by forcing human interaction. Community farms, farming balconies, tennis court, amphitheaters, terrace gardens, outdoor grills and shared balconies are some of the amenities that encourage human interaction. The proposal exhibits autonomy, with its commercial, retail and mercantile spaces. This allows the inhabitants to experience and explore a profoundly new way of living. The proposal seeks to nestle into its context in order to avoid the stigma of being “unrecognizable”.
This is why we planned the west facade to be oriented to the road and courtyard. The timber siding and varying building heights gives identity to the proposal, inviting a passer-by to come and enjoy. The residential blocks are further divided into their modules (Family module & single modules). With the building focused around a central open space, we want to instill protection while encouraging the residents to engage with one another. Clean volumes, exposed sub-frame, paired with a knotted timber siding gives the project its contemporary expression. Each facade will have a commercial, mercantile or retail space to create diversity along the length of the site.

Arrangement
The building modules which measure 5 meters by 10 meters are stacked and copied in a linear arrangement. The building modules are divided between family units which are two storied units and single units which are intended for couples and single people. The intention of using building modules is to make mass produced timber construction possible. The modular design will make it possible for future expansion by using dimensional lumber.
Modulation
The building modules are pushed and pulled to create cantilevers and balconies. These balconies can be shared or be left private. This iteration starts to give the project its recognizable identity. The cantilevers project 2 meters over the module below, and creates a shaded balcony for the units below. The balconies on the second floor are 2 meters long which help open up the building module with the exterior.
Landscape
The building modules are further developed into voids and terraces. Building modules are removed from the ground floor to create a connection through the whole building. The entrances to the individual units will be from this created connection. Users can also access the second floor using a metal staircase which is placed in this connection space. The voids on either end of the building will be used as a shared terrace for the family units. They will be equipped with planter boxes which are shared between two family units, this will help initiate a relationship with your neighbor
Concept The main design concept was to find a way to connect inhabitants to the community. We achieved this by creating spaces where meeting your neighbor is emphasized, the shared family balcony helps bridge that gap. The connection between indoor and outdoor spaces was important to us, to instill a sense of community. The balconies and decks are all equipped with personal planter boxes to cultivate your own herbs, vegetables and fruits. These planter boxes connect humans to nature and was one of the biggest symbol seen throughout our design. We fell in love with the idea of nurturing your own plants, as it is the best connection to learn about nature. We purposely used large sliding and folding windows on the cantilevers and balcony to connect the modules to the exterior

Amenities The planning of the building unit are mixed with single and family units. The family units will be found on either end of the building unit with entrances from the connection space or the exterior. Each building unit has a commercial, mercantile or retail space on the ground floor accessible to everyone, including visitors. Each building unit will have a different space which are rented out to businesses. The residential units coupled with the commercial spaces help achieve a level of autonomy. People can park their vehicles in the basement floor and can access the ground floor using a staircase or elevators. Maple trees which are indigenous to the Netherlands are planted on both ends of the connection spaces. The community plaza illustrated below, shows how connections between the building units and nature are conveyed. People can grow their own vegetables, herbs and fruits in this community farm and can help sustain a natural way of living.

Family Unit The family unit’s planning began with the entrance. We chose to have pivot doors on each module’s entrance to create a more stable entrance that doesn’t require a frame. This keeps the entrance clean with minimal lines. All the units are structured using framed timber construction. All pieces of lumber used in the frames are dimensional lumber ranging from 2x4s to 2x12s. The cantilever is supported by steel I-Beams and are framed with dimensional lumber.

Timber Framed Modular Construction The key feature of the proposal is the construction. It is done entirely of framed timber construction and steel structural members. We developed a system where future expansion can be possible by attaching new frames to the existing structure. 2x4s are used for wall frames and 4x4s used along corners and either sides of wall openings. Using dimensional lumber makes construction, fabrication and future expansion easy and affordable.

HOUSE ON A PRAIRIE Architecture Competition Project Host: UNI Team: Ishan Dsa & Abhik Kanji Location: Meath, Ireland March 2021 The initiation of the project began with a study of the site. The site was envisioned as a perfect prairie setting with beautiful trees and tall grass. We used this motif through the proposition of our design. The House on a Prairie started as a culmination of Irish architecture and design motifs. We specifically used dry Irish stone walls and an homage to thatched roofs which is a prevalent roofing system in Ireland. The roofs project out and are connected to the main long spanning roof. This decision was done with accordance Irish architecture. We also noticed that cobblestone and stone walls were synonymous with the local architecture. Hence, using this material for our special details was an utmost necessity.
There were many iterations of our project. It began as a 1950's classic modern architecture style and slowly transformed throughout the design process. We took inspiration from the design brief which allowed us to perfectly choose a design that fit the family. It is eclectic in its roofing style and material choice. We strictly used an open plan to compliment the family's personality. The design also has an important space that we designed with emotion. The meditative courtyard is in the exact center of the site and sits between all ground floor spaces. At any point, in any room, you will always have a view towards this courtyard.

Initial Site Zoning Sketch
The entrance to the house is through a large floor to ceiling windowed entry that brings you into the foyer. Our zoning is planned around a meditative courtyard that is in the exact center on the plot. The goal was to create two wings in order to utilize this courtyard in the general atmosphere of all the spaces. The gallery which will be on the left wing, has a special connection to the courtyard. The clients can use this space while they paint and play music. The formal living room is at the southern most point of the residence. It has a corner window which brings in a touch of southern light. The left wing contains the master suite, great room and kitchen and dining. At the north point, there is a heated pool which the children can use to warm up during the winters. As Ireland experiences relatively cool summers, they can use this pool effectively.
DESIGN ITERATION During the study and design of multiple typologies we were instantly drawn to a Prairie style home with a gable roof. Our vision for this gable roof was to create a series of vaults throughout the house. The floor above would receive the most dramatic vaulted ceiling to compliment the space and activities that take place. We combined what we found to be the perfect solution from our study, and proposed our solution as the combination of all these typologies.

The project will stand the test of time. As architecture ages, like every industry does, it goes through some special changes. Some styles become popular, while others lose their relevance for the time being. This is the reason why we made the decision to combine multiple styles in order to facilitate a timeless design. Some aspects may become unpopular while the little details will help the building stand out.
CRETE 3rd Semester Academic Project Location: Manipal, India November 2016
The CRETE Material Museum lies in the outer end of the Manipal University campus. Situated on a contoured site, it views down to a meadow filled with peacocks. I was initially interested with manipulating bricks to create a building form. The design evolved as the cantilevers and courtyard started to emerge. I took advantage of the cantilevers to immerse the user with the dramatic view of the meadow. By orienting and placing the museum on the apex of the site, it achieved a monumental entry towards the museum
The contoured site was ideal for beautiful views, large windows that span across the building allows for full immersion with the site. The workshops and museums are connected with ramps and do not affect the natural topography. The concept initiated with the manipulation of bricks. Bricks have an even proportion that promotes building bonds with mortar. The concept was driven by this bond of brick. The modularity of the material can be seen throughout the design. The cantilevered front and back gives the design a better connectivity with the context.

Construction In part with academics, we were constrained to use reinforeced concrete as our primary building material. I was able to maximize openings and open floors. Due to the harsh monsoons that south India experiences, my goal was to create a structure that will age with time, as most materials do.

The form is tailored around the manipulation of modular bricks. It has an intricately shifted building profile that creates natural courtyards and terraces. From this unique shape, the terraces can be used for outdoor work areas for the workshops. The courtyards is created in the building’s center allowing for a visual experience for people within and outside the struture.

RIDARE Architecture Competition Project Host: UNI Team: Ishan Dsa & Pradhip Ravi Location: Adriatic Sea, Italy May - July, 2020 The planning for the design proposal began from the shore line. The first design challenge began from trying to find a suitable Marena to handle the logistics of incoming and outgoing transportation. To us it was important to find a system in which transportation to the Oil Rig could be handled electively. The journey can begin with a happy and efficient note. The ferry will be docked at Porto Corsini, and will take a ~35 mile journey towards Ridare. They journey to the museum will take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. In this time, virtual tour of the museum would be conducted and any questions about the museum be answered.
Air travel via helicopters can also be supplied, however, it is mainly intended for emergencies. People who are interested in deep sea fishing are also welcomed on the ferry. The ferry will take interested fisherman to Ridare, and would have to pay a concession in order to use the fishing pier through the inside of the museum. Fishing rods, tackle and bait can be purchased or rented in Ridare.

The planning of the Museum began from the entrance. The ferry will dock at one of the piers and will have 4 different accesses on each pier. The pier has a short 1:12 ramp that leads up the 3 meter rise from sea level to the ground floor. On the ends of each pier, there’s a hole for fishing. It is also covered with deployable umbrellas.
Art Gallery
The entrance connects all floors including the second node at the South. The southern node has the bird sanctuary on the top floor in order for migratory birds to have a safe haven. Since oil rigs predominantly get a lot of bird activity, there had to be a inclusive factor for birds to be accommodated.

All fossil fuels is expected to deplete by 2060. By the end of the century, oil rigs will be functionless. However, oil rigs have an intrinsic quality of architecture that cannot be manufactured the same on land. It possesses qualitites of many different typologies of architecture. We think that in the future, when ocean and water levels rise, humans willhave to find a adaptable solution for life on the water.
Art Gallery

View from Art Display
Since the oil industry is facing a downward drop in supply, oil rigs are also facing the same type of scrutiny. Our re-purpose includes several factors of being sensitive to the living nature around the oil rig. The first design problem included understanding the types of birds that use the oil rig as a safe haven. Our responsibility was to create a bird sanctuary. The concept was to create a “dynamic display” an idea that took the manifestation of the temporary display.
Since only temporary displays are exhibited in the museum the idea of using a changing display style was important. Using digital art that can be changed on a daily basis is the goal. Not all art can be digital, hence we can rearrange these art works every-month to create a new experience once again.
3 POINTS ON SALUDA Professional Project Office: Angelo Architects, PLLC Team: Ishan Dsa Location: Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA June 2019 - November 2019 Three Points on Saluda is a newly proposed affordable Housing and Retail project. It is situated in Rock Hill, South Carolina and is only two miles from the historic downtown of Rock Hill. Planning for Saluda began as the three street met. Albright, Saluda and Heckle intersect each other creating a natural triangle site which is fed by these roads. Three Points is a mixed use development that was at first intended to be an affordable solution to housing in the Rock Hill area. However, it soon transitioned into a college housing facility for the local college.
The units of the apartment are divided into 2 different housing solutions. The majority being a one bedroom, one bathroom solution while the other being a two bedroom, two bathroom solution. This made the building to have an interested communication between each other while the proposal for the elevation was conceptualized. The core of the building is optimally accommodated with amenities. Every floor has something interesting to offer the guests at Three Point.

LOGO REDESIGN Professional Project Office: Angelo Architects, PLLC Team: Ishan Dsa
My goal for this project was to redesign the brand identity for a small architecture firm where I was employed. The brief was to redesign the logo that was introduced in the year 2000. The logo had to be fresh, and also have a subliminal message. The main key visual for the redesign, is the concealed message for Angelo Architects. The logo was then crafted to be versatile which answers the need to be used in many different forms. The color mainly used is a darker green which is a favored color of my employer.
While exploring concepts around the brand name and old logo, I was drawn towards the repeating triangle which ultimately spelled out the initials. This subliminal message which was created from the negative space was what I wanted to achieve. Rather than using a generic typeface, I wanted to spell the initials using shapes.
