ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO Selected Undergraduate Work 2016 - 2020
Astrup Fearnlet Museet – Oslo, Norway
Manipal School of Planning and Architecture Architecture for me is about creating a positive visual as well as emotional experience for the users. I believe in creating spaces where one could easily reciprocate with the built and the unbuilt forms. The concept of intangible elements in architecture also interests me. I strongly believe that these elements when added to a design brings life to the space.

This convertible counter has two separate slabs one for making coffee/tea and the one in front is for storing the dry snacks available for fika. The slab placed at the back is the fixed slab storing the heavy equipment and the slab in the front is lighter and is movable vertically in a circular form. This movement allows more space during the night time. The counter is movable only in a circular motion covering a fourth of the radius of the circle.
