FOCAL POINT STRATEGY
Our design concept revolves around the idea of creating a dynamic fusion of modern sophistication and cozy charm, where every element serves to captivate the senses and foster a sense of community and connection. Through strategic placement of focal points and a playful interplay of materials and colors, our space aims to evoke a vibrant energy while providing moments of intimate relaxation.
The Reception ,Den , Fireplace Bar and the Barn door are the key focal points of the project. These are highlighted by using different materials and bright colors.
A play of high tables and the strategic positioning of the bar naturally define the order of the space, becoming focal points of the project. The large reception desk and the slated wall are the main actors of the arrival while the bar becomes the meeting place of the large room.

RETROFITTING FOR SMART CITIES
Location : Tirupati
Cities are confIuences of people; places where people live, come to meet, exchange ideas, earn livelihoods, access education, health and other services and enjoy a life of good quality. People are at the core of the city. Therefore, cities should work for their people. Cities that work for their people will continuously become better versions of themselves with each passing day. This is a urban design proposal which has a vision that aims at A 21st century pilgrimage city that promotes Arts, Innovation & Sustainable Growth As part of this endeavor, a mixed-use development including multi-level car parking project has been envisioned in order to optimize on land eff iciency.The location of site is opposite the railway Station of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh which would address parking issues in order to create safe streets and reduce congestion.Strengthening soft mobility, Improving the interface between the old city and the tourism driven developed areas, Restoring the ecology, Facilitating market spaces and bazaars to uplift local businesses and Creating social interaction spaces which are absent in the area, are some of the agendas of this project.
Hospitality Building
By analysing the age (categorising into different set of years from 10 to 100 yrs) ;Usage of the building ;Ownership the exsisting buldings are replaced by the new proposals of foodcourt , commercial hospitality catering the same facilities like the exsisting buildings . New proposals are designed in such a way that it could accomodate the huge footfall of the city in an more organized manner with the heritage looks from the elevations.
After analysing the traff ic and footfall near railwaystation there was a shortage of parking which cause street clutters and congetion .the old city vibe was missing because of the chaos and clutters To solve this a parking tower was proposed backside of the railwaystation which creates a seperate entry for the residents and peligrims. The parking issue is also solved on the netaji road becuse of this proposal. A food court was added for the recreation and creating a seperate entry to the railway station.
Exploded Isometric view
A foot over bridge is added from railway station to bus stop so that pilgrims can go directly to tirumala by these buses. and there would be seperation of traff ic congetion on the roads . The elevation is the mix of Indosarscenic style and modern architecture to resemble the heritage of Tirupati.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Location : Vijayawada
Functionally complex building
We commonly see regular hospitals as that only serve people’s medical needs. The overall well-being of a patient, which leads in a quick recovery, is sometimes disregarded. As a result, this concept takes a comprehensive approach to designing a 100-bed hospital. The principle of form following function was strongly embedded in the development of this project, as the primary focus was on technological applications such as crowd movement, isolation, virus spread control, Ventilation systems, proximity, and so on. Through sustainable practices and design strategy, the project also seeks to provide thermal comfort and general well-being for patients and employees.
Hospitals are the most challenging institutions among various other built spaces. This is due to the complexity of functional relationship that must exist within and among co-spaces. Apart from providing right environment for patients and care providers, it should also be sensitive to the needs of the visitors including patient’s families. A number of Hospitals are ideally constructed to deliver the present / future requirements of healthcare. It is an essential requirement to examine the emerging issues, analyse the challenges, appreciate the emerging trends and study the various strategic options available for designing, planning and constructing hospital.
The Shaded area is the site with north side of road and residences of g+2 on east and south green spaces on the remaining side.
Site area 1.63 acres
Ground coverage 1995sqm
Built up area 6153sqm
Parking area 1900sqm
