Studio HIVE is commenced by two Architects who believe in the absolutism of good design and how the world is in dire need of architecture that responds to human and nature. It requires architects who think about designing spaces that amalgamate into the memory of the user.
OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe that architecture is all about creating an experience. It is the journey through a structure that creates the most impact on the user and this experience is something that stays with them for a very long time. We aim at Experience! We aim at Spaces!

01 BUNGALOW AT KARJAT
BUNGALOW AT KARJAT The design concept for this bungalow is to maintain a traditional take on the exterior whereas to create a modern contemporary look for the interiors. The facade demonstrates the use of wooden jali, sandstone, white plaster and white stone clad. The large windows on the ground oor, open up the interiors to exteriors creating a lucid transition between the indoors and outdoors. The structure has large openings mostly on the north east and the south east to let in diffused natural light. On the other hand smaller opening are designed on the south west facade for optimum wind circulation. To create a further depth in the space, internal balconies are introduced to keep a connection throughout this multi-leveled structure.

03 THE WOVEN PAVILION
THE WOVEN PAVILION The Woven Pavilion is situated in a public space that turns a lonely corner into an activity packed public square. The idea is to create a perfect harmony to invite people to use this public square in their everyday lives for various activities. This space can be used by all age groups, and it creates different levels which in turn gives rise to multiple pods. These pods are designed in a way to blend in with the landscape but also helps different groups to maintain social distance between them. The pavilion is made of bamboo and a translucent fabric that creates an interesting pathway for people to walk through and also serves as a landmark. It even houses seatings on either side, that is facing the square as the footpaths, so that everyone can use it as needed.
Concept
Access

Rest
The pavilion is designed in such a way that the entrance is from the street. The seating also faces the street so that the pedestrians can use it without entering the public space.
The entrance of the pavilion is a wide space to give a welcoming feel and as one proceeds through it the passage becomes narrow as to create a sense of mystery of what lays ahead.
04 THE JALLI HOUSE

But the execution of these elements have a modern or a minimalistic touch. This creates a perfect amalgamation of living in the modern times but also having a grasp on the traditional Materials elements of design. The design uses a basic set of nude and beige colour palette, with the pop of green found in planters all over the house. The materials used specifically point towards having a minimalistic approach and creating an environment of comfort and safety. The nude and beige palette is known to be easier on the eyes and also it connects with the houses that were made in the past.

The arches that wind throughout the structure from the brick wall to the R.C.C. create a perfect amalgamatio n between these two worlds.
