Windows bring character to the home, breaking the uniformity of structure
depict Stability and also acts as a bane keeping in mind the climate
The difference in the heights of the rectangular spaces provide a sense of harmony
The design approach we chose to depict and follow through our design journey was to adhere to bioclimatic design conditions
Bioclimatic Architecture is a way of designing buildings based on the local climate, with the aim of ensuring thermal comfort using the environmental resources. They should/must also blend into the natural surroundings.
We have taken care on the orientation, size, height, layout, proper insulation of materials surrounding the house, proper ventilation systems, water and plants, thermal accumulators, and more
The approach aims to make the design, planning and working of this residential complex to be as sustainable as possible.
The global pandemic and lockdowns have boosted technological advancements in our live-work patterns. Today, global companies have adapted to a hybrid model of work from office and home. Tier 2 and 3 cities in India can potentially emerge as business hubs & open fantastic opportunities, which will require urban development reforms, development of infrastructure.
Mixed-use developments, which are often larger in scale than exclusive residential buildings, present more opportunities to incorporate sustainable elements through design- use of renewable energy sources, incorporate green/public spaces, recycling wastewater, integrating pedestrian zones, etc.

The concept behind the bus stop design for Kiwale village is inspired by the nature or can be termed as a biophilic design where the columns for the stability of the roof is derived from the branches of the tree, made of bamboo. Bamboo bollards are used for lighting.
The seating structure hasn't just been designed aesthetically, but functionally as well. The arched coverings provide a sense of privacy to the person sitting inside and can be used as a chill-out/work space. It is a multi-purpose design element as it can also be used as a play equipment for the kids. These walls also serve as a boundary, but at the same time do not act as a visual barrier.
