Story of the Project - Redefining the workspace environment Given site was the Northern bay of upcoming Cept Workshops. Program given was Cept Outreach Office for day time.for Night Activity, Program chosen was a “Performance Podium”. The intent of the studio was to transform workspace into another function at night.”Mystery” as a concept was introduced along with Translucent Concrete as material concept.
Ramp was introduced to dissect the entire space spatially. Exhibition space and Retail shop functioned on the ramp and office,training centre on side of the ramp. The gradual changing curved roof guided to the idea of ramp,which created a non static user experience. Certain penetrations help create indirect visual,non-physical connection between any two spaces.

Existing Site
Learning : Working Drawings, Detailing How : The Program was detailing and preparing working drawings for an experience centre of Singularity Black,a surface coating on various elements. With defining the products to be displayed, detailing of various parts was initiated with a concept supporting the overall concept for space.
The entire space was assumed to be black a void and light as the guiding element for eye movement. For this,Slits were made in slab at every floor,which were source of light,and geometry of slits was obtained from the site grid. Double and triple volume spaces were created with floating elements of display in space.
