BUNGALOW AT RAIPUR The idea was to make a modern house in the middle of the upcoming town of Raipur. The scope of the project involved execution and finishes. The challenging part of the project was to attempt to post tension slabs and under slung drainage system and balancing 7.5M long cantilever. Interesting part of the project lies in the material palettes used for the house from exposed Corten steel to wood finishes to green landscape. This sort of an approach helps the city to get a new face of architecture. The project has beautiful courtyards and spatial hierarchy in terms of height. The house is a perfect blend for modernism, advanced construction techniques and sensitivity to the user’s engagement to an individual space.

FACADES The way to read a building starts with reading its facade. Facade engages the viewer specifically as it’s the first thing that one notices. We are at that phase which involves physical as well as digital skills. Metal panels have been the language of architecture lately. Commercial buildings opt for metal sheet as it’s easy to install and maintain. Metal sheets come in flexible size and patterns. Perforated sheets allow the building to breath and thus suitable for a temperate weather. Digital patterns on the metal sheets Have a pattern defined or are random. These patterns are based on few algorithms which are based on a programming language. One can generate this through software or by generating an algorithm. Given are the few examples for the same
HOUSE AT LONAVALA The project is a spacious villa at outskirts of Mumbai. The concept for the bungalow was to make it more transparent in terms of materiality as well as visual connectivity. It involved studying massing as well as the proportions of each space and it’s inter relation with each other. The bungalow has dramatic proportions while connecting a private space to a public space, which blurs the generic idea of the space connotation. The house has surprise elements be it catwalks or box style spiral staircase or strategic overhangs. The house encourages the relation between the rigid walls to the free flowing landscape.

HIGH RISE AT BANGALORE The high rise project in Bangalore was challenging as it was a new city to explore with. The site had a lake view on one side and approach road on the other. The client’s brief involved using sustainable features as well provide modern amenities. The project involves working with the massing. The scope specifically revolved around developing the landscape, the club house and leisure spaces. Keeping this in mind each building has a surprise garden in between and even the walkways involve feature like green walls and restoring the natural landscape. The gateway to the lake has been handled by providing a double height floor raise. Given are the few images for the same.
ORANGE EXTENSION The project is an extension to a large 60 year old family home in Bandra, Mumbai. The client being a lover and collector of super luxury cars requested twin extensions to his home in the form of canopies, to protect the same. The proposal utilized the existing geometry on site as indicators, and used them to generate a geometry, resulting in a form that fits snugly within the existing context. These site guidelines, indicators, are expressed in the form of grooves, of varying widths, that stress the importance of certain contextual placements over others. T h e major grooves have embedded within them lights, highlighting the importance of the primary contextual connections. This resulting network of grooves serves the double purpose of channelling rainwater into a collection plate, from where it is discharged ceremoniously into the adjoining flower bed.

The extension involves extension to an existing bunglaow on the out skirts of Mumbai. the brief made strong emphasis on developing the landscape.The scehme conceived for the refurbishment of an exiting bungalow,allows for an insight into the inner workings and mechanics that drive the unique aesthetics. The bungalow had its back to the sea thus the landscape features which made the house seem more extrovert than before. Out of this need a bar table was introduced so as to welcome the sea breeze and to enjoy with. The material involved corten steel. The idea was to mark the movement of the sea breeze and rain and its metaphor is defined by the natural tendency of metal to corrode. Corten steel added drama to the humble house.

HOUSE 502 The project is a residential apartment in Nagpur. The language of the house is to make it look minimalistic. The concept is based on the space being true to its components. The material palette of the house is varied. This involves mechanics and construction techniques and specific furniture selection. Each room has one dominating material used in its unfinished form. Light selection has been an important part in designing this house. Differnt light styles define a core language of each room. The apartment has tall proportions and big room sizes. A rigorous attempt on revising the mood boards of each house makes the house colour scheme dark as well as playful.
