Melbourne Islamic Cultural Centre The Islamic Culture centre comprises primarily of three architectural masses, Public, Semi Public and Private, the arrangement of which is based on rational analysis of climatological phenomena, circulation (vehicular and pedestrian) and axis . The striking Built mass establishes architecture as an artistic expression of time and place, function and originality by boldly inscribing itself within the cultural islamic context. The given program is studied in the context of existing and needed recreational, cultural and spiritual offerings in the vicinity of the site in Melbourne and it is rewritten through vocabulary of undulating forms. Topological models are developed to further study the resultant activities, their possible interactions and adjacencies. A final design model emerges through possible ‘user scenarios’ and optimised according to circulatory potential.

The volume exemplifies a erratic, manipulated architecture aesthetics,removed from conventional architecture expression. The emergent forms responds not only to the needs of diverse activities but also to the need for visual and formal coherence with complex and contorted geometry. The sunken court connects the three building at lower level which also forms an exhibition centre and encapsuinto the complex.

Mosque Melbourne Islamic Cultural Centre The project was to influence the modern world with an expression which is derived from the basics of Islamic architecture and to strike a subtle cohesion with contemporary world. The rigid shape alludes to Ka’bah, the most important structure in the Islamic world, to which all Muslims’ prayers are directed. The facade with the diagrid frame finds its inspiration in Islamic screens, which provide shading and privacy while maintaining a dialogue with the surrounds. The light qualities of the mosque will change dramatically throughout the day as the light washes across a diagrid frame supporting solar-responsive dynamic shading screens. This ‘Mashrabiya’ acts as a secondary skin that mediates daylight and reduces glare.

Wandong hall The Wandong Hall at wandong, Victoria grand structure that ca ters as a congregational space for the followers of this faith. The building is a form active, aesthetic structure which is both progressive as well as serene, appropriate for a place of reverence. As essential for a place of worship, the structure is a column-free space which facilitates a ‘connect’ between the audience and the speaker. The liberal amounts of glass provided in the structure allows a lot of light to filter into the church and lends austerity to the environment. The simplicity in form, symmetrical design and clean structure gives the church the calmness it deserves which has been enhanced by use of materials in their most basic, transparent and pure form.

The structure illustrates how a combination of simple Euclidian geometric forms has been superimposed one on top of the other to form the plans of the church. The fluidity of a circle transforming into a polygon, a star and then spiralling in to form the steeple of the church is an expression which showcases the connection of the mortals and channelises all their love and devotion to the divine. The 22m crown steeple stands conspicuously to inspire awe.

Kilmore Leisure Centre Extension, Upgrade & Retrofitting Existing building having 1000m2 of roofs and most of it directing rain water to the centre of the building. Work proposed were to reverse roof pitches and years of individual decisions that had left the building in poor shape, took some doing. But with a group effort was achieved. Most of the fabric of the building was retained. Originally an outdoor pool with freestanding buildings including amenities, almost the whole of the collected roof drainage pointed to the centre. A new roof, new entry , refurbished amenities and addition of multipurpose spaces have transformed the structure.

Retrofitting for energy efficiency is of growing importance as councils tackle how to plan for the future energy environment and will require more creative system adaptations to ensure efficient energy use which was achieved in this project.
Melbourne IVF Consulting & Day Procedure Hospital We designed one of the largest integrated treatment, research and production laboratories for one of the world’s leading services, Melbourne IVF. The project was an opportunity to combine all the previously dispersed parts of the business onto a single site and provide room for future growth. The redeveloped facility is now linked via a new walk-through to Melbourne IVF’s existing 300m2 tenancy in the adjoining Freemasons Day Procedure Centre. A highlight of the refurbished building, formerly commercial office space, is the main production laboratory, which is four times the size of the old laboratory. The new facility, designed to cope with 4,000 treatment cycles a year, provides sufficient capacity for growth over the next 25 years.

The palette of materials was intended to be welcoming and timeless to provide personable spaces for patients and staff alike. The benefits of this approach are tangible. Within one year of occupying the rejuvenated premises, organisational synergies created by the design have led to business growth beyond expectation. Designing the main labora-
tory required some detailed research, beyond consultation with staff, to understand the processes taking place.

For an infertility clinic we completed a 16 bed day surgery mini hospital with one general size theatre and one slightly smaller operating theatre, an efficient clean up/sterilization suite, staff stations, utility areas, gases supply storage, sterile supply, consulting, access to other levels and staff spaces. All this was fitted into just 1000m2 of gross floor area with low head room. The complexity of a day surgery facility, numerous regulatory and procedural items, not the least of which was a limited floor space and limited ceiling space.
Broadford Library Façade Upgrade & Retrofitting For Mitchell Shire Council we provided a building design that addressed the issue of streetscape and provided an updated identity for the site with a building extension that rises out of the existing forms. The interior was also refitted as a combined Library and Council Ser vice
Centre. This suited the model needed for the local community and provides a busy access hub that includes meeting rooms for the public and a range of services at the Shire’s main offices in Broadford. The aim was to initiate a dialogue between the new and the old part. The new building must respect the protected cultural environment while making a bold statement as a piece of modern architecture – in other words, find the right balance between being conciliatory and challenging.

High levels of environmental sustainability are at the heart of this project such as extensive use of recycled Materials, pvc reduction, building sealing and fabric upgrade, energy reduction & sustainably produced material selection. The building thus relates to its surroundings, and a different statuesque aspect of it is revealed from each direction. On the other hand, the new building discreetly keeps its distance from the outlines and materials of the old civic centre. It was placed in the middle of old neighbourhood, as though a building in a park.
Parton Residence Sea Side Holiday Home Classical with modern interpretations, this sea side home makes a subtle and tactful debut into a traditional neighbourhood demanding presence. Built on empty site around mature trees the Wooden pergolas fit nicely with the natural setting, allow the house to sit quietly in the landscape. As well as providing shelter from hot summer sun the pergola create an outdoor area that blurs the line between inside and out. They provide a classical quality that adds layers of interest, depth and shadow. The language deployed allows for a clear reading of the archetypal elements of solid, void an plane much from the grammer of classical style. The important aspect of this architecture is to strike the balance between classical pitched roofs and modern horizontol elements, tectonic bands and use of timber and masonary. With the use of such variety of elemnts, the vocabulary caters for specific programme in the house.

In terms of urban design, the building takes the elongated plot as its theme. umes form numerous terraces and accentuate the main entrance on the north side of the site. So as to ensure a high degree of flexibility, the building is designed to be divided into smaller units and rented, if required. Generous, transparent stairwells and open work spaces enable rapid orientation within the building and create a variety of visual relationships for views in and out of the building.

1. First Floor Plan : The blueprint of the building tends to generate conviviality between the users and workers in the offices and those who only rent office space for short term period. The environment friendly techniques that have been set up (double-skin facade, the ground coupled heat exchanger, the double-flow ventilation system) reduce the energetic needs for heating and cooling down to 65% of those of a conventional office building.

The Lalit Resort & Spa This project proposes the construction of a series of inhabitable spaces with different proportions that define spaces. These spaces generate different areas of privacy, with courtyards that become indoor spaces by incorporating roofed gardens. The elements used here and the resulting spaces are all clear, evoking a timeless territorial character. The spaces are nuanced by precise volumes with varying heights. The different rooms of the resort are structured in such a way that it can encapsulate a sequence of meandering courtyards, thereby reciprocating to the local spatial vocabulary. The circulation through these courts and the street experience forms an integral part of design. The spaces are white, neutral, with pleasant dimensions. The same design logic applies to the exterior walls and paving , and the same precise proportions are used in all the fenestration. The project engraves itself within the traditional context in a cautious yet sober way.

Baga Residential Development This residential development is located in Goa and comprises ov many villas and clubhouses overlooking the ses.This is a sophisticated design of well-planned apartments set within a quietly appointed enclave next to the see where the natural environment is still wellpreserved. The terrain and surrounding nature were intelligently used to organise the buildings to create a setting of understated elegance in perfectly crafted scale and proportions. The thoughtfulness in the design is apparent at many levels. The entrance alley is discrete yet imparts the sense of arrival. Architectural detail is finely crafted in a sensibly selected palette of materials appropriate for the design and environment. Villa layouts are sensible and generously planned. The comprehensive design skills and the articulation of individual elements of the project defines its backbone

Being tightly restricted by site conditions there were only two avenues we could take to create generosity of space and location: Firstly the surprising height of the living room space that takes advantage of the only extravagant spatial dimension available to us. And secondly the pursuit of sightlines to water and sky wherever possible. High side walls, for privacy but also to provide mass for a comfortable indoor climate, have continuous highlight windows for the enjoyment of 360째 views of the sky.
The house opens itself up completely to the East, the presentation of the stunning water views. This also allows the capture of the constant ocean breezes to cool down the house throughout the year, easily regulated by a plethora of ventilation options from sliding doors to operable louvres.
The Clubhouse Baga Goa The project for a clubhouse and spa is located in the hills on the shoreline of Baga, i n t h e t o w n of G o a . It s lo c a t io n i n t h e h i l l s determines our design, as we propose to bring together the building with the views of the sea, creating a shelter from the wind on a central plaza. The design considers important views of the site, in an area that overlooks the lake and the mountains, amid a topography with significant slopes. Access is organized through a sequence of spaces. The building articulates the spaces with the landscape, generating framed views that allow the enjoyment of the encounter of architecture with nature in an environment typical of the mountains of Baga. Responding to the contour of the site and that of the surrounding landscape and trees in site, the building is made into building are clear glass in order to clearly see space and activities inside. The functions that need privacy in the building such as toilet, meeting room are covered with irregular brick wall.

Ecolife Kuta Tropics The project was a response to a challenging master plan required for 40 units in Ubud, Bali which is 25 minutes drive away from the city. The site is on a hillside and surrounded by a river. It is also a local resort. The concept therefore embodies the relation of a built mass with the ecology around it . The main intention was to create a residential design that can “communicate� between inside and outside. The building mass connected with the landscape with many a small opening to expose the view to the landscape. changing environment. An important reconceptualization of the house for the tropics, it is a cluster of functional spaces and elements with varying degrees of enclosure, distributed in a sheltered but unenclosed field . We tried to allow each roof garden provided a base for the story above allowing the layered effect to make each story feel like it was a single storey dwelling sitting in a garden.as much as we could do in the close confines of Kuta.

We divide a house into two separate parts. One is public and functional, like a living room or a dining room. The other is more intimate. They are connected with a corridor and a pool. The strategy was to strike balance between privacy and the openness, while creating a central light and stair well which would funnel the sea breeze through the centre of the building. The front and rear of the building meanwhile, terrace back allowing each story to have visual or actual access to greenery.
Ecolife Type B In this typology the design involves a fascinating play on inside–outside and notions of boundary – where the strongest perceived boundary is really the unglazed/un-walled edge of the mass floor where it steps down to lawn and garden, where private bedrooms face outward, and where what is often considered the heart of home, the kitchen, is completely open to the air. In the same breath, this house is fully wheelchair accessible and has achieved a high level of security. This is an example of great design – where the spatial and organisational architectural idea is also the sustainable idea, akin to the best traditional and vernacular architecture where lifestyle and shelter have evolved into a cohesive whole for the climate. The L-shaped plan creates open spaces which encourage natural ventilation and offer resident’s views over the courtyard to the verandah, roof gardens and beyond. Lushly planted roof gardens surround the house and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house.

A transparent box inserted into the main house horizontally, giving a more flexible and fluid space. It connects the house and the outdoor landscape. People an feel free to use and move in this house. The large roof above the courtyard creates an indoor and outdoor space leading to the gardens and swimming pool which wraps around two sides of the house. Lushly planted roof gardens surround this and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house.
Ecolife Type C The design accentuates the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house. This dramatic configuration of spaces centers around a spacious internal courtyard defined by natural rock face and lush vegetation. Large sliding glass doors in the main living area enable a seamless flow between inside and outside. The house, surrounded completely by water introduces a new concept as using water as the integral element of the landscape. There is no dichotomy involved; rather an architectural whole is achieved as the water reflects and amplifies the linear quality of the structure while adding serenity and aesthetic beauty. A simple and exciting plan is achieved by utilising the interior court and the pool together as one element, completely disengaged from the exterior walls of the house. This central core acts as a barrier between living and sleeping areas. The use of timber screens reflect the contemporary vernacular scheme.

Designing For Surici Rethinking Urban Renewal This proposal takes the main characteristics of the courtyard, that is its flexibility in use and quality of sharing, and applies them to the entire design of the house. The unit elaborates the courtyard as the central architectural space, expanding its dimension to the fullest, redefining its relationship with the interior rooms, and most importantly, disposing it toward productive activities. The proposal is focused on bringing in public facilities and social services such as school, training centres etc. The aim is to breath life and spirit in the neighbourhood by cautiously targeting bigger vacant plots and inducing the social amenities and recreational services that Suriรงi lacks. There is a sense of subtle duality, contextuality vs. flexibility, in this approach. It adapts to the social needs of the neighbourhood, and can accommodate multiple programs based on the immediate needs of its surroundings.

Meandering Courtyards The project highlights two major elements: the peripheral wall and the pavilions within. The site responsive typology primarily accommodates the essential programs proposed but also defines the chosen vacant plot into much more aligned than contorted profile. The enclosed space is then configured with exposed framework of beams and columns in which the units are then accommodated within.

2. The open - jointed variety of brickwork provides the required sun shading. While reducing the direct entry of light it ensures comfort in terms of room temperature. Different facades are developed based on the orientation of the module and their adjacencies.
Facade Development The module which constitutes a generic space is derived from the idea of a semi open space, like eyvan. The generic space offers space for plethora of activities which can be performed at different or similar time in a day. This prototype can be amalgamated with broad array of facade system. The selected palette also governs and commands the programme which it entails as it encloses different volumes of space as well as opens it on the same time for multi functional use.

Brick Detail In the vernacular setup, brick is the main construction material. To ensure environmental performance the proposal incorporates a pragmatic yet aesthetically pleasing facade. By turning the individual bricks- In stretcher bond with open vertical joints- the facade responds to the prevailing climatic condition. The permeability of the facade can be precisely controlled and at the same time guarantee sun shading in summer, sunlight in winter and cross ventilation in all season.
