BINDAL FINANCIAL COMPANY : Office Building • Project Duration : July 2017 - Ongoing • Architectre Firm : Studio0522, Lucknow • Principal Architects : Ar. Shipra Singh, Ar. Shriyak Singh • Role : Conceptualisation & Ideation; Working Drawings; 3D visualisation; Presentation drawings • Location : Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India • Site Area : 1800 sqft The project brought with itself a unique issue of multiple ownership. The site itself was too small to allow for the most pressing client requirement. However, apart from this particular request, the client allowed us to begin the exploration in any direction. This attitude provided the freedom to exploit the site to the fullest while maintaining the basic requirements of the number of units and ownerships.

The site currently sits on open real estate with all three sides open. However, the site has plots due for development on both sides, just abutting it’s boundaries.

Hence, the design called for a courtyard between the front and the rear parts of the building thus dividing it into three individual parts, while also lighting up the basement as if it was open from the top.

This also allows ample amount of sun and also ventilation through the block so as to reduce energy requirements and also making the entire environment inside conducive to productive work.

U.P. STATE TOURISM : BUNDELKHAND CIRCUIT • Project Duration : June 2017 - Ongoing • Architectre Firm : Studio0522, Lucknow • Principal Architects : Ar. Shipra Singh, Ar. Rohit Parmar, Ar. Shriyak Singh • Role : Conceptualisation & Ideation; Evolution; Working Drawings; 3D visualisation; Presentation drawings • Location : Bundelkhand region - 6 Districts The project presents itself with a complicated brief of reviving the dilapidated tourism circuit in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar pradesh, spreading over 6 district and encompassing over 50 individual sites. The sites are of different types. Some have heritage value like forts, while others were of religious nature. There also exist sites with natural beauty which would provide directly to the residents of the city like parks, boat clubs etc.

The project requirements talk of developing the sites so as to accomodate the exponentially increased footfall without compromising the inherent character of the site.

The idea also revolved around developing a singukar design vocabulary which reflects the identity of the region, which is famous for it’s forts, stepwells and temples. Contemprorising the vernacular elemets of the region was one of the major design driver for the project.

The project involved various different types of design interventions ranging from site development, reviving existing buildings and surrounding infrastructure, public shelters, utilities, signages, eatries, parks, street lights, street sections etc..

1

Tourist Shelter Allows tourists to rest while walking through and between the sites on the circuit. This would appear throughput the region, binding the entire design vocabulary together.

Public Toilet This is the public toilet block to come up at regular inervals.

This has 10 Female, 10 Male and 1 Handicapped toilet.

Boat Club This is one of the boat clubs which have to come up to provide for the recreation of the local public.

2

Entry Signage This particluar signage will come up at the main entrance of the sites with the name of the site, distance to the focus etc., among other things.

Water Dispensing Unit #1 This is four-way water dispensing unit which could exist in the middle of open spaces and could be accessed by 8 people at a time.

Water Dispensing Unit #2 This water unit is supposed to come up along streets, pathways and roads to allow visitors to have access to drinking water.

Water A.T.M. This water dispensing unit can dispense water to fill water bottles with mineral water after payment of nominal fee which can be filled in water bottles.

Street Light A solar powered street light with a consealed battery unit at the base of the pillar.

Bench A simple piece of public furniture which exists almost everywhere, having a clear design vocabulary which has derived itself from the architectural identity of the region.
