As the cover suggests, I see details in design. From lines to shapes, everything is designed. Believing the thought, I love to solve new challenges through my approach. Throughout my architectural journey, I have developed and mastered skills from building design and detailing, graphics , reuse, research analysis and exploration in materials. I am very passionate about carbon neutral and climate responsive architecture. I believe in participatory approach of design as a tool to understand peoples’ demands and thoughts. I have grown an inclination to experimentation and keen on exploring sustainable design processes which can provide highly creative and functional architectural solutions essential for shaping a better future.

Amelioration of Bharat Gayan Samaj (Music Institute) The project was a revitalisation of an existing institute of Indian classical music. Located in the dense fabric in the city of Pune, Bharat Gayan samaj, a 100 year old institute is one of the leading schools that nurtured the growth of Indian classical music.The current conditions made it hardly functional contradicting its strong foundations and importance in the field. Here the attempt was to understand the importance an institute plays in the upbringing, education and development of the neighbourhood. It contributes in preserving the culture, its values and thus its architecture.The project used reclaimed material from old ‘wadas’ (traditional courtyard house) and houses thus preserving its architecture and achieving a reduced carbon footprint.

The existing school had poor infrastructure, not updated and lacked basic sense of aesthetics and functionality. Congested rooms with no ventilation, bad lighting, neglected maintenance, lack of space , over multi-utilisation of spaces were some of the major problems with the existing school. It was in urgent need of structured program, additional spaces to fulfill their needs and updated infrastructure that gave value addition to the school. E X I ST I N G

STUDIES
The school is situated in old Pune with a dense built mass. Shared walls and compact residential typology form the identity of the neighbourhood. The study shows courtyards, light wells and interconnecting pathways and passages that tie the whole context together. These are a result of light and ventilation needs while planning this dense neighbourbood.

REUSE , RECLAMATION OF MATERIALS The project used reclaimed material from the early modern era buildings, ‘wadas’, and older houses thus recycling and preserving the architecture whilst reducing carbon footprint. The neighbourhood thus contributed to the insititution, preserving its arhictecture.This reduced the material procurement and reduced carbon footprint by 38%.

Habitat in Urban context Humanising Hinjawadi The project was a continuation of Urban Design studio. Aiming at humanising hinjawadi - an upcoming IT neighbourhood, the housing project addresses its growing habitat need. The complex provides housing for 3 types of communities - Service providers ; Sharing accomodation / sales ; High end luxury cohesively.

CONTEXT Entertainment
I.T has played a major role in a series of innovations that over the last decade have propelled technology and economy. In the case of Hinjewadi the presence of I.T is simply too strong that it cannot be an independent institution that shuts out its neighbours. It needs to be an opportunity that not only enriches the life of people that work there but also the entire community as a whole .The site is strategically chosen to be situated with amenities in mind. This approach and connectivity furthers the idea of Live + Work environment where people consciously commute by pedestrican pathways.

The project is an attempt to create a habitat that respects one’s privacy but also gives them the opportunity to interact with their neighbours. The massing is planned to create pedestrian streets where daily interaction’s and activities take place. The basic idea behind the project was to create an environment where one would enjoy being outside.

The brief was to design a sports complex as a part of an existing school / university. In todays context, the challenge is to design inserts which has its own language which forms its own expression and which brings unique parameters to the fabric of the city. The complex strengthens the idea of Live + Study + Play environment that pushes the idea of goal oriented approach from an early age.

Residential neighbourhood Slum habitat
The site itself played a design inspiration. The 3 m drop created was used functionally and aesthetically. It helped differentiate public and private activities in the school. The connectivity with the school campus and strong urban support formed the basis of visualisation and progress. The axis were determined on such functional perspectives.

The project is an hostel designed for graduate ladies students for physiotherapy and nursing college.The 13 storied building has 7-8 rooms on each floor and houses 300 students with 3 and 4 room sharing. A grid layout with community double height spaces on 4 floors achieves an interaction between the students throughout the day. The design has evolved with Form Finished Concrete, detailed out to give an aesthetic and functional finishing.
_Opolis is an architecture firm founded in 2001 by partners Sonal Sancheti and Rahul Gore.The firm’s portfolio ranges from museums, institutions to homes and interiors. Their work has been critically acclaimed along with noteworthy collaborations with Maki and Associates, Steven Hall Architects and Rahul Mehrotra Architects.

International Competition : Archmello - Honourable Mention In collaboration with Unmesh Javalkar | 2020 |
D E S I G N E R S ’ P L AY G R O U N D The challenge was to design a Co-working space for design studios, freelancers and students , thus creating a learning centre for design. The idea was to create a community where students from different architecture schools work under one roof so that there is constant exchange of dialogues, exchange of knowledge and encourage students to think practically and theoretically. It would be a facility where design students, professionals work together to encourage design dialogue workshops , etc and a new generation of arhcitects.

Self-initiated experimental Workshop | 2020 |
T H E WA L L Sharing an interest in sustainable materials ,30 of us ,architects and students came together to explore different techniques of construction. An abused piece of land gave us an opportunity to actually bring this idea to reality. It was a community shared approach of exploration and attempt of teaching indigenous construction techniques. Acting as masterial scavengers we procured mud, sand, stone chips and any waste material from construction sites. A series of failures eventually led to a succesful project we affectionately call ‘The Wall’ that explored rammed earth, poured earth, stone-chipped arch, bamboo-crete, oxide seating,etc.

I hope that my portfolio conveys my interest in architecture and my willingness to learn. It would be a great opportunity for me to be a part of your institute. I appreciate you for taking the time to go through my work, and I hope to connect soon.
