601 WESTVIEW 4800 sq.ft. Residential interior with studio HINGE February - November 2019 Design and construction completed This large apartment sits on the 6th floor of a building at the end of a quiet lane in Koregaon Park, Pune. As the name suggests, it enjoys panoramic views over trees and of a sunset to the west. The fact that it is also the only apartment on the floor which also has a refuge area ensures a modicum of privacy. The family living in this apartment traces its lineage back to Jaipur, but has lived in Norway, France and the UK. We set out to tell a story seeking a balance between disparate influences from these distant locales. The core of the house contemporizes the Rajasthani roots: from the brass kund between copper inlay strips recalling the famous nine squares of the city plan of Jaipur, or the Mughal charbaghs, to the vestibules that stand as contemporary turrets in oxidized mild steel against the backdrop of rugged sandstone walls. Within this sits furniture that is light and airy, often mid-century modern/ Scandinavian in allegiance. The new partition in stacked birch ply between family and dining areas references in its design wind-swept desert sand dunes, deep-stambhs and jali screens. We worked with an artist friend to create different hued resin inserts, which contain fragments of family memories – photographs, letters, notes cast within almost as if fossilized – illuminated variously by light both natural and manmade.

At a functional level, the layout of this apartment increases connectivity between public areas whilst maximizing privacy where needed. The first is achieved by replacing two existing masonry walls, one with stackable folding timber and glass doors between the study and reception areas, and the other with a freestanding partition that speaks of family history. The second is achieved through the introduction of podlike vestibules around entrances, which inhibit direct views of the bedrooms, kitchen and powder room. These also act as giant lanterns/ night lights when the other lights of the house are off. The slits cut into their sides are reminiscent of the narrow windows in the turrets of forts, but paradoxically unlike the thick stone walls of old, these turrets are formed of 2mm thick mild steel.

The formal living area opens up onto the terrace on two sides and is wrapped in sandstone, from whose ceiling a ribbed dome has been carved.
08
Study room is separated from other living spaces just by a layer of folding door that can be opened up completely. It also opens up to a double height terrace on one side and a private balcony on the other side. Slatted birch ply ceiling gives a touch of playfulness to teh space.

Fortress-like turrets in oxidized MS screens off the entrance, kitchen, powder room and bedrooms, whilst acting as giant lanterns at night through which slits of lights pass between slender cutouts. Water caustic patterns play upon the ceiling, courtesy slim spotlights focused on the ‘kund’.

15
The kitchen features a foodtruck style top hung window and a concealed slide out stone bar with a hot plate, connecting it with the dining area. The history wall divides this from the adjacent informal family room.
16
Earthen ‘diyas’ in oxidized MS holders hold a flame to the undulating contours and jali cutouts of the family wall, evoking sand dunes, ‘deepstambhs’ and contemporizing the vernacular.
17
The new partition references elements of design, culture and even landscape familiar to anyone from Rajasthan and was designed using digital fabrication techniques. Individual sheets of birch ply are cut to custom shapes and stacked over one another to create an overall sinuous form. The undulating planes of ply bring to mind the ripples in sand dunes of the desert, punctuated by what seem to be traditional jali cutouts which are integrated into the facade of this 30� thick partition.
18
Into each of the cutouts is inserted a resin block. We worked closely with an artist friend to create different hues, and in consultation with the family we cast into them fragments of family memories – photographs, letters, notes but also found objects such as leaves, flowers, scraps of fabric (and even an insect!). An oxidized steel bracket is also fixed onto each opening, projecting out to hold a traditional diya or tea light which lights up the resin inserts. The family later disclosed that they also used these to place marigold flowers, or hang fabric across the partition! In this way, the entire wall also calls to mind a deepstambh, or pillar of light, traditionally seen at temples and palaces across India. Between the strategically focused lighting from the ceiling and the clay oil lamps in their metal holders, the fossilized objects that make up the family’s history seem almost to be suspended in time and space.

21
The family’s interest in learning music has been taken care of in the family lounge which can be transformed into a small performance area by separating the center table, which is made in three parts (finished in wood, copper and marble each). Each piece also has some storage space inside it to store various games for the family to play.
22
A contemporary brass poster bed frames a view of the arched opening into the bathroom area.
23
Illuminated arches open bedroom into bathroom and bathroom into wardrobe. A woven cane bench and semiiprecious inlay on terracotta cement tiles foreground the shower partition in stone mosaic, with candles backlighting the coloured glass with niches.
24
Part bedroom, part studio space with a customised mobile easel desk and reading niche. A bespoke partition in timber and cane affords further privacy to the room and segregates the wardrobe area.
25
Minimal interventions have been made to the bathroom by adding portuguese-style tile inserts behind the mirror and on basin countertop and also by adding a fluted glass and georgian bar partition between WC and shower areas. The space is also accentuated with concrete and copper lights.
26
27
28
A series of stucco half arches in opposing directions frame views from the wardrobe through the bathroom into the bedroom.
29
The bedroom is treated almost like a studio apartment where a wide bifold door separates the bathroom/wardrobe area from the bedroom space. When the door is opened, the entire bedroom becomes a single space and this is reinforced by the solid teak wood flooring that continues from the bedroom to the basin, WC and the wardrobe areas.
30
Wardrobes and drawers in this guest room are concealed behind fluted panelling in stucco and walnut, with a desk and a louvered window scooped out for cross-ventilation through the house.

CLUBHOUSE AT ARPORA 1250 sq.m. Hospitality architecture + interior with studio HINGE November 2019 - March 2020 Design and construction ongoing The studio was brought on by a leading developer in north Goa initially to provide interior design consultancy services on a clubhouse building for a premium villa scheme in Arpora. Through a convincing presentation backed by ideas expressed as diagrams, we managed to get ourselves appointed as architects. Located right by Baga creek, the building will house a squash court, gym, indoor games, mini theatre, spa, co-working space, a restaurant and a pool. To retain the view and connection with the river, one half of the building is lifted up off the ground on skewed stilts, with the restaurant located under it. Local context comes through materiality such as the bamboo screens on the facade and the laterite stone, but also through gestures such as the ‘bell tower’ that houses the lift shaft. Other references are maritime - the raised part of the building resembling a ship’s hull, the use of shipping containers in the mandatory setback zone - while yet others are historical with the use of the portuguese blue tile. The fragmented parts of the building are held together by bridges, internal courtyards and a series of connected water bodies.
Clubhouse at Arpora has been developed as a 3D virtual tour by a leading visualization company.

RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SITE DEVELOPMENT 12.7 acre Landscape with DCOOP architects September 2015 - August 2016 Design, tender and initial construction completed A residential school campus had to be developed in Ahmednagar for girls from distressed backgrounds. The program consisted of a school building, some hostel buildings (girls’ homes) and an administration building (leadership center) in the first phase of construction. The site features a central playground surrounded by access roads on three sides (east, west and south) and the school building on the northen edge of it. A service road and a pedestrian pathway branches out from the main access road to serve the girls’ homes towards the south-eastern side of the site. The north-eastern portion of the site has a natural depression that acts as a seasonal pond. The land around this pond is proposed to be terraced for vegetation purpose and also to make it accessible for various recreational activities. Various paving materials such as brick, exposed aggregate, shahabad stone, concrete paver blocks and compacted earth have been used in various areas along with appropriate kerb details to define intersting outdoor areas for the students to interact.

Residential square A warm space that provides for various informal activities of girls residing in the hostels.
Pedestrian spine A walkway that connects all the buildings for the pedestrians and provides distant views of the campus at different points.
Frangipani court A formal court that serves as a drop off for visitors and acts as a gathering in front of the Innovation center.
Nine tree court An elevated court that forms a fulcrum between the school and the Leadership center. This court is also a major entry to the school for the students living in the hostels.
School courtyard A stepped courtyard shaped by the natural terrain that leads the pedestrians down into a double height space at the rear of the site.

OFFICE AT KAMALA MILLS 3500 sq.ft. Commercial interior independent August 2017 - May 2018 Design, tender and construction completed An office for a technology solutions company who were looking for a design of the space for their newly expanded employee number. A larger space was created by breaking the wall between two adjacent spaces and combing them. All the cabins, meeting rooms and service areas are then planned along three sides of the rectangular plan, two of which receive natural light from the external windows of their sides respectively. The side with the largest window is given to the common workstation area. The palette used for flooring, walls and ceilings in the project is mostly neutral and the spaces are then accentuated with bright furniture pieces.

The ceiling of the common workstation area is a metal Armstrong grid geiling at two levels. The central ceiling is lower than the surrounding part making the whole ceiling very light and floating. This effect is emphasized by sleek looking edge trims of the ceiling. The workstations and chairs add a little colour to the space. Meeting rooms and cabins overlook the common workstation area through full height clear glass partitions which are made interesting by adding solid doors that break the monotony of glass.
58
Reception area is made to look extravagant with use of Italian marble for flooring. The reception table itself on the other hand is very moderate and curves in profile along the whole length.
59
(left) One of the cabins serves as a prayer cum resting room and features a daybed and some additional storage behind it. (top) The main conference room boasts a large 11-seater conference table finished with white solid acrylic surface counter top and one of the walls at far end is finished in texture paint.
60
(top) One of the directors’ cabins showcases a custom-made table finished in solid acrylic surface and one of the walls is clad in white back-painted glass which is very useful during meetings. (top right) Another director’s cabin, who believes in the idea of stand-up meetings, does not have a standard host-visitor table layout. The director’s table is tucked away in one corner of the room and the rest of the space just has loose chairs which can be used when required.
61
(left) Table for the seniormost director is made using a combination of ply finished with light coloured wood veneer and legs made in solid teak wood. (top) A shared cabin houses two identical tables, tops of which are finished in solid acrylic surfaces and legs made in ply and finished in grey duco.
62
(top) Refreshment area has a playful appearance with quirky tiles used as dado and fixed furniture finished in sky blue coloured laminate. (top right) A small pantry adjacent to the refreshment area which is mainly used for some wet cooking activities showcases 4�x4� tiles with blue coloured grout.
63
(left) Mens’ toilet is finished with 4”x4” white tiles with grey grout that matches the laminate colour on storages and doors. (top) Executive toilet uses a combination of white indian marble and 4”x4” indigo coloured tiles with white grout.

‘CHAIRS’ TO ART! 3m x 3m Art installation with studio HINGE January 2020 Design and construction completed To create a piece of art for a Green Pavilion at IDAC, the context of sustainability was at the forefront of our agenda. By nature and procurement, the timber provided to us by Canadian wood is already certified as a green product. However, when we talk of sustainability, we must consider not just the carbon footprint, but also the entire life cycle use. The purpose of most art installations lies within their intent or ability to make people stop and think, and so beyond this inherent aesthetic value (which can be quite subjective!) most installations have little or no functional utility. This installation seeks to subvert this idea, by proposing art that may be dismantled and reassembled into usable pieces of furniture. To this end, we have designed a chair and a barstool that are modular in nature. The components of each are cut out of a single 8ft. length of 2”x6” timber with almost zero wastage of material. The choice of timber was in consultation with Canadian wood and was informed by the design of each piece – western hemlock for the chair, and douglas fir for the taller barstool. The elements are arranged in an abstract twisting radial composition which throws up curious shadows when lit, and can be hung as wall art or turned on its side and used as a chandelier. The furniture is designed so that both pieces can be put together using traditional timber joinery and glue. As and when the requirement for furniture comes up, the owner is encouraged to remove pieces from the wall installation and assemble them into chairs and barstools. In this way we create a piece of art that is: • truly sustainable + recyclable • interactive + playful • evolutionary + dynamic • useful

OFFICE AT NARIMAN POINT 540 sq.ft. Commercial interior with studio HINGE March 2020 Design and tender proposed The office is supposed to be a proposal for a workspace for a politician in Mumbai. Highlight of the project is a curved partition at the entrance that wraps on itself to become the reception for the office. Mirror finish stainless steel creates interesting reflections when it is curved over upon itself, with bamboo cladding providing stark contrast on the opposite face. Flooring is a danish creme marble and ceiling curves in section to hide various beam offsets in the ceiling. Storages are proposed to be built in birch ply with various details to expose its layered edges at various places. Table tops are proposed in white composite marbles which provide a fresh contrast to the warmth of birch ply.

HOUSE IN RAJKOT 195 sq.m. Residential architecture independent September 2016 Design proposed A proposal for a house at Nana Mava, Rajkot, Gujarat, the size of whose plot is 16.00m x 5.71m and access is from a road towards the west which is one of the shorter sides of the plot. The stand one takes because of the narrow plot and adjoining buildings is to make all habitable rooms facing either the front or the rear. The sides become blank walls that stagger in section to allow light from the roof.

Main door is a composition of brass and copper panels combined with polished wood veneer. The pushed-in portion of the door makes a handle from the outside as well as inside.
85
Original plan of the house is altered such that one sees the temple niche as soon as one enters the house. Temple niche is one of the most important areas of the house which is adorned with brass panels, fluted glass screen and two concrete lampshades. Lampshades are made of glass reinforced concrete (GRC), finished in wax polish, and are cove-lit that enhance the concrete texture cast in two different shapes from inside. The choice of GRC as a material over conventional concrete was a result of need to make the lampshades lighter since they were to be suspended in an extremely tight space.
86
The common space used as a living and dining area is a palette of shades of browns and greys. The credenza is a monolithic white piece finished with buffed solid surface punctured with wooden storages. Above the credenza hang plywood shelves (finished in wood veneer) of different sizes suspended using threaded metal rods at different heights that could be used to store books, artefacts, etc.
87
The dining table and bench have plywood tops finished with polished teak wood veneer applied in crisscross pattern with chairs made in recycled Burma teak wood. An opening in the wall between the kichen and the dining area is inserted with a furniture piece that can be used as a service counter from dining side and forms a preparation counter and storage from the kitchen side.
88
Kitchen has been designed such that simple plain colours of the storage and counters has been contrasted with patterned cement tiles. Another minimalist approach is the door to enter the room that slides completely inside the wall paneling when opened.
89
Master bedroom has been conceived as a simple monochrome room with wood finish that occurs from floor to doors to bed to wardrobe. A crisscross pattern that is made using veneer strips give the headboard as well as the wardrobe an ornamental feel which is accentuated by recycled burma teak wood handles.
90
One of the walls of the guest bedroom has been shifted towards the inside of the room to create two niches - first on the outside that fits a shoe rack and second on the inside that fits a computer table.
91
A palette of colours was decided upon and each furniture piece in the room has been given a single colour from the palette and contrasted with light wood veneer and recycled burma teak wood handles.
92
LEFT OVER UNDER THE ‘OVER Urban furniture design competition with studio HINGE February 2018 Design proposed Bridges can be a metaphor for a journey, for the “in-betweenness” of places, perhaps even more so than a road because you can’t stop on them. The urban flyovers of Mumbai, whilst anything but poetic, produce a series of “leftover” spaces below them that are largely unconsidered. These spaces often tend to be used for parking, squatting and napping by homeless pavement-dwellers looking for shelter from the elements. Our aim with this proposal is to provide a new plane in this lost interstitial space – a sort of underbelly Highline Park between the ground and the flyover – which can be reclaimed by the people of the area for recreation and relaxation. This can be achieved by creating a platform using precast concrete vault decks with interlocking dowels, which will be suspended from the concrete box girder of the flyover using tension rods. This deck will be populated with urban furniture designed by us, which responds elegantly to the brief of revitalizing “leftover” or interstitial spaces. The furniture is robust, modular and can be variously assembled to be put to different uses. In this project we have largely shown it being used to create outdoor benches, chairs, tables and play furniture for kids such as swings, slides, see-saws etc, but it could just as easily be used to create kiosks, market stalls, tiered seating, etc.

(top left) The plan at proposed deck level shows how the modular 4’x8’ precast concrete decks combine together to form a public plaza, giving back open space to the public, a rare commodity in mumbai. The surface of the deck is covered with artificial turf, which requires no maintenance, is easily replaced and can be used in the shade, unlike real grass. (bottom left) The view from street level shows the underbelly of the proposed precast concrete decks, with their cast-in sleeve holes serving as surface drainage as well as a lego-like fixing mechanism for the modular outdoor furniture fixed above. (facing page) The sectional perspective at the proposed new deck level shows how the intervention maximizes utility of the “dead” or “leftover” space under the flyover, with steel tension rods used to suspend modular 4’x8’ precast concrete decks under its belly, creating an elevated park/ walkway. The space between the tension rods is covered using galvanized steel mesh, which besides acting as handrail also allows creepers to grow up over it, giving privacy to residents and greenery to both sides. Besides staircases at regular intervals, the design features designated decks which can be lowered using a counterweight pulley system. The modules combine together in various ways to form benches, tables, chairs, children’s play equipment such as slides, swings, see-saws etc.

(facing page) The elementary building block is C shaped, with the two modules being mirror images of each other. At a size of 21”W x 18”D x 18”H and being made of glass-reinforced concrete, it is light enough for a young adult to carry. GRC was chosen for its light weight, hardness, ease of replication of the module through casting in moulds, and offers options for decorative finishes by using coloured marble or glass chips cast into it. The inner faces of the C seem almost to have been “scooped-out”, and this idea is reinforced by a expressing it as a continuous surface in highly-reflective mirror-polished stainless steel. Precast threaded sockets along all external edges and mini-fix fittings from modular furniture allow quick and easy assembly and dismantling. As with hotel room windows, a special key would be provided to access the sunken cam head, without which tampering with the furniture once it is locked into place would be impossible. (right) As the system is sturdy, modular and lightweight it can be almost indefinitely extended along three axes, allowing endless possibilities for playful urban inserts,even forming habitable spaces such as kiosks, galleries, pavilions, etc.

UNBOXING TO TRANSFORMING 9700 sq.ft. Interior design competition with studio HINGE June 2017 Design proposed The competition (part of iGen Design Forum 2017) sponsored by Boon Edam focused on laying out of a proper plan with importance to access and security systems within a 30x30m plot. The footprint had to be designed as an entrance lobby for an institutional, commercial or financial sector project incorporating function, aesthetics and security as part of the plan. The proposed lobby has been imagined to be at the ground floor corner of a larger building itself at an intersection of roads at BKC. Since the building houses research labs as its primary function, there was an aspiration to draw in and educate the public about the kind of work done by the labs. The reception is sited such that it is double aspect and overlooks both entrances. The rear wall of the lobby is completely glazed, allowing passing staff and visitors to observe the research labs at work, proudly displaying the core process at the heart of the company.

By pulling back the glazing line the corner of the building becomes an extension of the public realm, creating a plaza that will be used as a shaded thoroughfare. The gesture of strategically locating a coffee kiosk within the recessed glazing such that the display window faces outside but the service counter is inside, further draws public and visitors into the lobby area. Pedestrian entry into the building is carefully controlled, design evolu-on diagram with staff entering the rear half of the lobby through the iGen design compe--on entry june 2017 secure Tourlock 180, while the public can enter the front half through the frameless glass Crystal Tourniket revolving doors from the plaza area. Besides the reception and the coffee kiosk, additional programme introduced in the lobby includes an informal meeting room for short interactions between building staff and outsiders who do not need to go up to the office, and interactive exhibition and audio-visual zones, all of which seek to engage the public and disseminate information about the lab’s work. Along with the reception and the coffee kiosk, these take the form of free-floating pods, creating an undulating landscape of gently ascending heights from as required by use – from the low reception and waiting at the left to the tall AV pod at the right. Clad in stainless steel, this landscape forms a barrier between the public and restricted areas, with secure entrance through the valleys between.

Tourlock 180 The Tourlock is a revolving door the rotation of which can only be started after an authorisation signal from an access control system such as a card reader or biometrics reader. It can be integrated with a variety of different security systems that accurately detect any form of piggybacking or tailgating. We have used the Tourlock 180+ 90 - an automated four wing version - to provide controlled access for staff into the building.
Speedlane slide The Speedlane Slide interacts with those who approach it, managing and guiding authorised users through to the secured areas of buildings. We have used the maximum gate width of 910mm to allow for wheelchair access, which gives visitors holding the correct pass entry into the elevator concourse. Dedicated staff entry into the reception and coffee kiosk pods is also achieved using these.
Speedlane open The Speedlane Open assists with channelling the flow of people entering and moving around buildings, without a physical barrier. Commonly operating in multiples, it acts as a boundary between public and private worlds, guiding users to their destination under the watchful eyes of a security guard. It interacts with both worlds to ensure the right people are channelled to the right place, alerting security guards if there is a breach of access. We have used these at the entry to the meeting, exhibition and AV pods.
Crystal tourniket Constructed virtually completely from glass with only a few stainless steel accents to ensure the solidity of the revolving door, it fits seamlessly and minimally with our inclined glass facades onto the plaza.

All visitors into the building need a pass to get past the lobby area. The type of pass will depend on whether they are going into the pods or the elevator concourse. Speedlane Swing access gates are located between these pods, providing controlled access to the rear half of the lobby and the elevators to those visitors holding a valid pass. Speedlane Open gates are provided at entrances into the pods, allowing for the free flow of guests, whilst simultaneously being able to record data on them (e.g. number of visitors to each pod, time of day etc.) This will help the organisers of the exhibits to track their popularity. Dedicated staff access into the reception and the coffee kiosk pods is provided using Speedlane Swing.
