DREAM ABODE 01
A dream residence, at a dream location, but yet realising the dream in the most radical way. Aim was to give justice to the context through orientation, and hence letting the spaces create themselves. Aim was to create spaces that give the peace and patience that is needed to calm yourselves down.
Project : Material Studio | Sem III
Location : Valvan Lake, Lonavala
Area : 250 sqm
Material : CSEB Blocks and Concrete


The design process started through taking Queues from the site terrain, and the lake-facing multi-directional slope of the land. Splitting the built into four parts, with different levels, opened up the vista towards the lake.



Longitudinal Section






INCUBATION CENTER 02
A center for formal and informal Interactions that in-turn lead to intellectual research and explorations. Exploring the institution design through different parameters of user experience, which then enhanced the design through a very natural and contextual process.
The project works around the idea of an interactive promenade, which connects the major spaces, and hence becomes a node for the formal as well as informal discussions in the institute.
Project : Institution Studio | Sem V
Location : Bodakdev, Ahmedabad
Area : 5000 sqm
Material : Brick and Concrete

Conceptual Model


Structural System Model

Wall Section - North Treatment





Following the slope of the land in both the directions, acheiving double height spaces through the slope which is moving down, and the natural street-promenade formation which happens through orienting the building in the direction of the contours.











CO-INTERACTIVE HOUSING 04
Overlapping of ideas and activities are true catalysers towards social housing, And thus interaction is a major aspect of healthy living.
Exploring the idea of overlapping planes, and social heirarchy, the project focused on prioritizing the open spaces even while going vertical because of land constraints.
Project : Housing Studio | Sem IV
Location : Afzal Khan No Tekro, Khadia, Ahmedabad
Area : 7000 sqm

Conceptual exploration of the idea of overlapping multi-purpose spaces and cluster formation through the conceptual idea. Creation of interactive nodes, and movement, pedestrain and vehicular were the major goals.


Section also explored the sense of balance between going vertical and maintaining open spaces. Natural terrace formation was achieved through sensible stacking of largest area units at the lowest level, medium in the middle and smallest at the topmost level.

30 sqm units, with overlooking balconies
45 sqm units, with a common open to sky balcony.

60 sqm units, at the ground level, favoring the larger families.

Staggering the grid with open spaces at different levels, lead to creation of a pedestrian street, and ceremonial spaces tangential to the street, thus giving pockets of open spaces to all the blocks.


Unit plans focused on providing semi-open overlooking, common and overlapping spaces. Following the same structural grid, but creating more voids as you move up, following the social heirarchy but in a different way.




DOCUMENTATION - POL HOUSE, AHMEDABAD
Measure draw case study of the heritage city of Ahmedabad, traditional pol house architecture. Documentation of Plans, electrical plans, reflected ceiling plans, sections, elevations as well as the details was carried out.
MISCELLANEOUS 06
Courses carried out throughout the three years, including Basic Design, Architectural Representation and building Construction Technologies. On the right is a Basic design landscape abstraction exercise.
Exploratory study programs, which included hands on workshop and extensive observational on-site work and sketching trips.

KINETIC PAVILION INSTALLATION, KALP 23’

Visualizing a rhythmic movement, the idea was to develop a people centric mechanism. An interactive and engaging gateway in the center of the lawn, the installation functions with a system of pulleys that enable the movement of members in the path of a sine wave.




BASIC DESIGN
Understanding the natural architects and their creations, and using the process of bio-mimicry, creation of a small temporary structure, following the same techniques and materials.


SCIOGRAPHY
Detailed shadow study, Understanding the orthographic and isometric projection systems, and drafting shadows in plan, sections, elevations as well as in 3D view.
