Nirvana-Happin Semester #5 Ind
ness Centre, 2019 dividual design
Nirvana is a state of perfect quietude, freedom or highest form of happiness. The objective was to design a happiness centre as a getaway area for weekends for the staff of technopark at Akkulam,Thiruvananthapuram. Techies are used to being closed in and private in technopark. They need to feel free and open but without compromising their security. On entering the nirvana, a waterscape which is not visible from the road is intoduced. It seamlessly joins the expanse of the lake which makes the space feels more open and calming.
Nirvana’s jogging/ Cycling tracks/ pathways were designed in a way to have peep views to the waterscape.
16
The site as a whole is home to butterflies and chirping small birds. By opening up the center to these we get to experience a little bit of nature in every part of Nirvana
Sun’s heat is heavy on the south side but it is countered by the cool south western winds from the lake.
AKKULAM LAKE
Jalli walls produce pattern shadows inside the parking lot keeping it interesting
The light well inside the parking lot brings light and life to the parking lot - offering a glimpse to the banks of the waterscape.

Home is a space to unwind After a long day of work A place for the children to grow up in. Each space filled with wonder and awe. A rainbow full of surprises. The rainbow residence was design for a client who runs a school and occassionally had children over at her office at home. The 4 member family also had a child with them. So the concept of the rainbow house evolved for the child to remember his childhood home in all walks of like and for the adults ‘to invoke the child within’.

The visual connectivity in these upper floors thoroughly secluded the guest activities in the first floor and connected the family activites without segregating it. The playful element of the rainbow fascade changes seasonally and yearly with the motion of the sun thus giving an year round playful feeling.

St.Joseph’s Church at Palayam was documented as part of Vol. I of Elysium, documenting all churches of Travancore. St.Joseph is a gothic church that had become the city’s icon over the centuries.
