A 200 flat housing scheme is under construction in Khargarh as Adhiraj Housing. A school , club house and an office building was designed for the same. All the three buildings were with different concept and the whole scheme was based on modern architecture.The school possesses interesting corridors and bridges, whereas the half of the club house was underground and there was only a rectangular building seen which was cantilevered and supported by lattice girders. Office building was different from the other two; there were two towers in contrast to the horizontal building below.

Problem : To design a 40 floor office building in Ambazari road, Nagpur with a maximum footprint of 900 sq. m. It was a short term project with main focus on its structural system, core design, stability of the structure and other services (AC ducting system & fire fighting system). An egg being the most stable form, and is best suited for the hot and dry climate of Nagpur. Alternate projecting floors breaks the monotony of the facade and at the same time gives building a new character.

3rd Winner-IIA design trophy'12, Nagpur SMMCA | B.Arch 4th year - 8 weeks
Problem : A competition project by IIA, Nagpur : to design Municipal Corporation Building of Nagpur for which the design programme was given. It included three main buildings Deliberative wing, Administrative wing and Town Hall. Also it was needed to restore the administrative and cultural history of Nagpur and invoke the sense of integrity among the citizens and the administrators. This was achieved through transparency between the working and public area i.e. internal planning. Also the site surrounds rich heritage buildings of Nagpur like RBI and Vidhan Bhavan, their importance was to be maintained which was done using same colour combinations and materials though different architectural form which would stand by itself.

Climatic considerations : 4. to highlight the power of the people, focal point at the centre
5. to appreciate the triangular form, the remaining portion had been sliced out from sides leaving behind an equilateral triangle at the footprint. 7.As per the requirement of three parts of the building, it was done by taking two axis, 1 as a focal point from Vidhan Bhavan and the other from the NMC road
As per the sun study, areas which are comparatively less used and the ones which are fully air conditioned like town hall, meeting halls etc. was provided on the side facing maximum sun during day i.e. west.

Incremental housing
Rural Rehabilitation
All types of plots was provided with incremental housing; i.e. a platform was provided in which the addition of rooms could be done as per their needs.
Ghosikhurd Dam Project, Maharashtra (Published in Newspapers)
Problem : Ghosikhurd Dam Project, Maharashtra consists of rehabilitation of around 200 villages, CHICHKHEDA being one of them with population of around 500 and it Transact E - W street was to be relocated to Kosambodi. The main problem of this project is the inacceptance of the villagers to relocate due to many reasons, one among them is the urban type planning they are being shifted to where they feel out of the place. Objective:
stage i
stage ii
Streets were planned in such a way so as to create spaces which would flow into each other. As such the villages suffer due to insufficient water, water harvesting was taken into consideration. From paved streets to roof top harvesting to drainage lines along the road to big water storing chambers.
SCHOOL
To start with, the village was surveyed using different techniques like transact,

Open spaces were visually and physically linked; each open space being visible from the other.
To design a village settlement which would be accepted and used by the villagers to be rehabilitated.
type of environment expected by them and as they wanted quite similar to their existing village including the missing amenities, similar organic pattern is followed for the new plan with lots of open spaces for their spill over activities.
Features like otta, handpump, central open space with tree, cow shed, paved streets etc. was provided to retain the village character.

Information Centre
Rastogi Residence
SMMCA | B.Arch 3rd year - 2 weeks
A.R. Architects 1 month
Problem : To design an information centre of around 80 sq.m. for 'RAMAN SCIENCE CENTRE, Nagpur'. This was a form oriented project. Basic challenge was to derive a form which reflects the importance of that place. Since it was situated near a lake and it tells a lot about marine research, hence, the form was derived to depict waves - a continuously changing water feature.
Problem : A residence of Mr. Shashank Rastogi was to be designed within an area of 400 sq.m. with all the facilities - swimming pool, bar counters, home theatre, lift etc. They had there earlier house next to it so it was in continuation with the old one. The old house was only renovated from front to match the new house. Pure modern architecture was used - box windows, extended ceilings, etc.

Community Housing SMMCA | B.Arch 3rd year - 2 months
Problem : To design a housing scheme for a particular community (low & middle income group). Major attention was given to layout planning.The community selected was for potters and basket weavers etc. ; accordingly the spaces were designed for their activities to take place considering the amount of open and semi-open spaces they need and also the kind of living environment suitable for them. Thus, clusters have been provided with central open space where they can carry out their activities. All the open spaces are interconnected through pathways keeping in mind that the basic transportation will be walking, cycles or motorcycles. The scheme is provided with all the basic amenities.

SMMCA | B.Arch 2nd year - 2 months
Guest House SMMCA | B.Arch 2nd year - 2 weeks
Problem : To design a house integrating it with an activity for ex. dispensary, salon, art class etc. The additional activity chosen was an art class. Art class being an entirely informal activity, the different formal and informal activities determined the built-form. The various issues related to design of connectors between house and art class, climatic considerations and barrier free design lend the potential to the project.

Problem : A trigger exercise which started using brick kits. The study of various modular buildings eg. Habitat Mortal by Ar. Morshi Soffdie helped in clarifying basic concepts related to modelar assembly. The project focused on design of a guest house where in the rooms were as module and common activity as non-modular in particular area ratio.
