Threshold moments on the walkway
Two small and one large mithai (sweets) stalls serve as gathering spaces for the visitors with strategically placed seating spaces as well has bar tables.
Arrival Diya Ceremony
Recreating the Indian Ghat (River fronts) experience.
Exhibiting space
In order to address the traditional transparent connection between the performer and the audience, the theatre has an exhibition space where a glimpse of the backstage operations such as makeup, making of the various props and costumes is shown to the audience.
The boundary between performers’ and the audience entry to the stage is only blurred with a translucent white curtain.
Modular or “pixel” design strategy allows the different parts of the theatre to be pulled apart and put together whenever and wherever required.
The shape of these “pixels” is derieved from Diya (earthen lamps).
Arrival Diya Ceremony
Recreating the Indian Ghat (River fronts) experience. This serves as yet another threshold moment.

How can a theatre celebrate Sydney’s cultural diversity?
The 2016 census provided by the Bureau of Statistic confirms Sydney as the most multicultural capital city in Australia with almost 4 out of every 10 Sydneysiders born overseas. However, there’s no denying that there are parts of Sydney that are deeply monocultural such as the western suburbs and the northern beaches. This floating theater aims to celebrate Sydney’s multiculturalism by bringing Ramlila, a performance of a Hindu epic Ramayana, to Cremorne Point, one of Sydney’s most monocultural suburbs. Performed during Diwali- otherwise known as the festival of lights, Ramlila celebrates the home coming of Lord Rama.

The project site (14-26 Wattle Street Pyrmont), is a former quarry and council depot on the western side of the ridge that forms the Pyrmont peninsula. The eastern edge of remains as an exposed rockface with dense regrowth vegetation and on the western side of the site is the Wentworth park. The brief of this studio was design a place for exercise, relaxation and entertainment in a club-like atmosphere operating from 5am till Midnight - bringing the restorative qualities of water to a dense urban area with a mix of swimming, floating, eating, drinking and relaxation. Inspired by naturally occurring grottos, this design aims to create different experiences of water interacting with the existing exposed rockface. Furthermore, the design aims to connect the site with the Wentworth park situated across the road and to disconnect the site from the hustle and bustle of the city. This is achieved by elevating a portion of the site and transforming it into a park. Access to the pool and café is provided by creating long walkways cutting through the elevated platform, which also act as threshold moments. The slightly elevated roofs of the foyer and the changing rooms situated within this platform, allow natural night to enter within these rooms as well as act as seating spaces of the park.
Interior and exterior courtyards to create gradient between public and private space.
Foldable doors in big rooms to create modifiable interiors and hence multifunctional space.
Different leveled seating space for informal encounters and working.
Use of rammed earth for lowcost, eco-friendly and good thermal mass.
Setting up rattan weaving and rammed earth construction workshops to engage and upskill the community.

Shared Plantation spaces for the well-being of the community, encouraging community interaction and thermal comfort.
Unique coloured flowering plants and brick perforation patterns for each house to create a sense of individuality and personalization.
This project is centered around designing sensitive and functional housing for residents of the Loving Community. The Loving community is located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The community was formed in 1968 when the government offered this land to people suffering from leprosy. Due to the stigma against this disease, the people of this community are treated as outcasts and are isolated from the rest of the world. So, not only there is a physical boundary created by a compound wall on two sides of the site, but there is also an emotional boundary between the loving community and the rest of the world. One of the aims of this project is to dissolve these boundaries through architecture. Due to a contaminated water canal present in front of the community, the site is a prone to flooding during annual monsoon. Hence, providing a flood resilient design is another aim of the project.This design responds to the local climate, the specific requirements of each family, the lack of greenery near the site and utilizes local construction materials. Concepts of community engagement and upskilling of the community are also considered.
Raised in a family of doctors, including my parents and grandparents, I’ve witnessed them returning from work burdened with stress and sadness. Research shows that healthcare workers often stay quiet about stress and mental health struggles due to fears of stigma and license repercussions. This stigma discourages seeking help, leading to self-treatment, limited peer support, and higher suicide risks. Recognizing the need for healthcare workers to prioritize self-care, this proposal introduces a dedicated mental health hub within the biomedical precinct of Adelaide. This space will offer healthcare professionals the opportunity to set aside time for themselves, engaging in essential daily physical and mental self-care practices. More than just a physical location, this hub will serve as a safe haven where individuals can openly express their vulnerabilities, assured of being truly heard and acknowledged.

The site for the project is situated at 139-153 Archer Street, North Adelaide, and is approximately 39m x 65m. The proposed plan for the Church site demonstrates a commitment to preserving the historical significance of the area, by retaining the church and the rear blue-stone building. In place of the existing hall, an Ayurvedic center for mental health is envisioned, which aims to promote holistic well-being and healing. The center would provide a peaceful environment for individuals to stay for a few weeks or months and experience the therapeutic benefits of Ayurvedic treatments. The program includes various treatments such as herbal treatments, diet treatments, massage and sirodhara treatments, panch karma, and yoga meditation and pranayama. The design proposal includes cultivating plants and herbs on the site, promoting sustainability and healthy living while preserving the existing greenery.
This shadow study shows how different parts of the winter courtyard, situated in the middle of both the building complexes, receive generous amount of sun in June (winter); and how the summer courtyard as well as the terrace gardens receives shade in the month of December (summer). In short, this design successfully provides natural thermal comfort throughout the year.
The design achieved minimal energy consumption while meeting thermal comfort requirements through the rigorous utilization of energy simulation plugins within Grasshopper, such as Ladybug and Honeybee, for conducting dynamic thermal simulations of the building.
