The Food tower Intervening in the city M.Arch - 2018

The ribs further highlight the coffered slab ceiling and also accentuates the form of the roof. The Dining of the restaurant is mainly situated in the outer rectangle, that moves vertically with change in cuisine, every few weeks. The change in restaurant type can be determined by the location of the dining lift. The warmth of the timber makes the space cozy and the lattice work signifies merging of the restaurant space and outdoor dining space. The first restaurant is more of the conventional kind and has the biggest kitchen. The periphery of the restaurant is left for the growth of food so as to gain max-

Preview: The competition in the 1890 for the tower of London design has been evolved through various precedent studies. The structure of the tower was fairly simple to understand and evolve but the scale of the tower was complex and hard too tackle. The programme in the original tower was straight-forward and conventional. It had merchandise stalls, entertainment halls, galleries, restaurants and a promenade. There were a number of precedent studies carried out in order to build an interesting programme and design a Food Tower. The tower is designed to form a landmark in the area of Surbiton. The material used in the construction is Timber, that gives warmth and make the tower stand out in terms of material and scale in the area. Though many studies were carried out, there needs to be further understanding of the scale and material used. The tower portrays the life-cycle of food, from growing to composting, that needs in depth research of what plants could grow in this certain climatic region.

area and the higher contours, the more private areas such as the accomodation and training areas can be seen. There are various focal points on the site. The abundance of focal points help users pause and encourage interaction among the people in the sports centre. Goa, is known to be the place for tourism in India. It is also a place where there are many beaches and water-sports has added to the economic growth. Although, there are very few places for one to learn in depth aboout water sports. Water sports in India is in its infancy and is mainly restricted to tourist activities with little or no attention given to competitive water sports. Architecturally the intent is to provide the infrastructure to raise water sports in India to a competitive level. In an increasingly globalized world, sports on the international level is a matter of national prestige. The project aims to tap into the potential of our abundant population and bring out the best in the long neglected field of water sports. The site is located in Bogmalo beach in the southern part of Goa. It is a beach unknown to many tourists. There is a 5-star hotel located on one end of the beach and on the opposite end is the proposed project. The intensity of the waves make it preferable to surf and have other water sports activities. There are a number of shacks, guest houses and restaurants that keeps the area active throughout the year. The existing creek on site divides the space into private,semi private and public zones. It also acts as an axis around which the built is located. The levels play an important role in providing more privacy. The lowest point towards the beach is the public

The main concept was to adapt to the existing contours. This would create a natural massing on site. These levels add to the landscape design. It helps in demarcating the different zones in the project and can also be used as spill over space around different activities. Parallel wall construction with pivot doors are used to make the construction simpler and help in cross ventilation which is of importance due to the hot and humid climate. The materials used are rustic and earthy, that is wooden louvers,cement plaster/ exposed concrete. The use of laterite is constant due to its availibility.

The island Atelier Competition project 2016

The Island Atelier is set in an island, away from the hustle-bustle of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;susegadâ&#x20AC;? life of Goa. Bat island is located in the Southern part of Goa; a Forty minute journey by sea; close to the harbour town of Vasco-da-Gama and the Airport, Dabolim. The islands is currently famous among the localites for picnics and among scuba diving lovers. An abandoned navy base has scenic views on all four sides. The built is designed in a way that it appears as if it is emerging from the hill. Each space is facing the sea giving spectacular scenic views. Series of courtyards give rise to spill over spaces for interaction and for artist to find their own The competition called for the designing of a

Apartment interiors Professional project 2016/2017

The project was undertaken when I worked in Harish & Associates. The clients wanted to renovate their 3 bedroom apartment in Bangalore, India. The requirements were simple and the clients wanted the feeling of warmth and spaciousness in their home. Most of the furniture were custom designed, to the needs of the family. Plywood and veneer was used in creative ways. The false ceiling was designed to add to the lighting in the house. Neutral shades were used on the walls to make the space feel vast.
