Hello there! I’m Malavika Mani ,currently pursuing my B.Arch course at MSAP, MAHE. I was about 15 when my passion for creative design began and it continues till date. Studying architecture and its different worlds was always the goal and to day I’m one step closer to it. I’ve always been fas cinated by the endless possibilies ones mind can create and how design helps bring life to it. I’m looking forward to improve my design skills and practical knowledge in the field of architecture and getting to know more creative minds out there.

• Location – Brahmavar ,Udupi Site area - 32,485 Sqm No of units - 448

• Built up area - 78718 sq.m

A Butterfly plan, also known as the Dou ble Suntrap plan, is a type of archi tectural plan in which two or more wings of a house are constructed at an angle to the core, usually at approximately 45 de grees to the wall of the core building.

I t was used primarily in late Victori an architecture and also during the great early Arts and Crafts movement

1. This type of suntrap plan helps in Getting the benefits of cross ventilation in a hot and humid climate

2. It helps to give each unit its sense of space and views.

3. Having more openings as its not attached to any other unit is also an added advan tage.

4. Proving a central core which is well lit and reduces the circulation.

3. RESIDENCE

Located in Manipal, this residence was made for a family of 6 consisting of a couple their parents and children. The goal was to create a space which is modern and has elements of nature embedded in the house while keeping it minimal.

Spaces: 4 Bedrooms

Since the site is located in a hot and humid climate, the main focus was to create a space that increases the stack ef fect in the house. The goal was to create a well lit and air ven tillated space which isnt too hot during the hot summers

. The design has some basic Mechanical ventillation as well for which solar panels are provied to cut the electricity cost.

The main focus of the house is its central indoor gar den adjacent to the open living space which has a dou ble heighted roof that opens up to a sky light which can be mechanically controlled. The owners can use it to open or shut the glass according to the time and weather of the day

4. HILL RESORT

The proposed project is a recreational resort which is located in Mulshi, Pune. The purpose of the project is to provide a weekend getaway accomodation which also provides recreational services and an oppurtunity to connect with nature and its aspects. The design aims to accomodate rooms enough for 60- 70 people at a time. Use of alternative building materials like Fly ash bricks has been used as it is more environment friendly, improves workability and creates long term strength.

Location : Mulshi ,Pune

Building Type : Recreational 3 star Resort

Direction : South facing site

Drainage : North west to South east Land Type : Contoured

Climate Tropical climate ,605 m above sea level

Wind Direction : West to East Area : 25090 Sq.m

The concept used to design this project is circular palnning and the benefits is enormous, for eg. it has less embod ied energy and allows goos air ventillation between blocks.

The placement of blocks is done in such a way that the restaurant acts as a core and the villas and recre ational spaces converge into it .By this method of planning the guests get a good view no matter which room they choose and are close to all the spaces at the same time
