at Manali. Project Brief: The site, lies abutting the cross roads, sloping inwards, creating a level difference of 2.1 metres from the prime road to the rear end of the site. Narnia redeines the beauty by the presence of adorning mountains, lotus ponds and paddy ields all around its periphery. The owner wanted to have more informal spaces open to the other, rather than an introverted one. This residence has more semi-private spaces than the private ones. The entire planning had this thought as a key thing.

Project Concept: The design concept has been evolved from “telescope�, creating interesting viewports in the building by borrowing views from its milieu. Pulling in some exteriors to the interior, the residence does have some interaction with it. The massing of this building is just about stacking a couple of boxes on the two counterparts below, in a really exquisite manner, with deliberately subtracted punctures in it. The residence is fully lit by natural light with suficient openings. The central courtyard is alluringly lit by irregular openings. These irregular openings follow a pattern inspired from the abstract form of mountains. This pattern is followed in the walls of the building too. The interiors kept minimalistic, with interesting usage of the boxes adopted from the exteriors. In the interesting manner colors go with each other enhances the minimalism followed through out. Visual connectivity is meticulously established with vital usage of glass. For instance, kitchen, dining, and living areas are visually connected with the informal living and bar counter in the basement loor. This fuses different spaces of this residence and makes it more and more extroverted in nature. The landscaped outdoor seating area, resembling the mountains in its background, has earth mounds with an informal seating in a tree shade. Along its side it has a covered space with a traditional swing in it. Above the swing there is a car park in the ground loor level, creating a tunnel effect in the wind from south west to the six and a half feet clear swing area.

- Institute of Hospitality Management -


Project Concept:

Project Brief: The objective of the Institute of Hotel Management is the creation of a space focusing on the future growth direction of the Indian Hotel Industry. This would involve creating an environment that focuses on the ields of hotels, gastronomy and tourism. The college had an intake of 480 students per year with 4 varied diploma courses and a degree programme scheduled for 3 years. The main motive was to establish an academic complex as opposed to fragmented building blocks. This incorporated clustering of various functional spaces such as academic, administrative, residential and interactive spaces for campus community spaces.

To design an academic complex that provides distinct social, physical and intellectual environment that spawns learning and helps the students and staff to realize his or her full potential. The central design concept of the new institutional campus should be themed on the organizational Mission and values. The organic dynamics of education and its evolution in the age of open source learning, calls for a revolution in negotiating conducive learning and spatial typology. The academic block for the institute have been planned in a way to segregate the theoretical and practical mode of teaching.

The academic block for the institute have been planned in a way to segregate the theoretical and practical mode of teaching. All the kitchens are heat emitting zones and have been placed on leeward side of the site. They are stacked vertically one over the other for eficient services. Sky bridges connect the two building blocks creating an internal courtyard in the center which shall create an interactive environment in the institute.

National Aerosol Facility Training

Multi-storey Housing

IIT Kanpur

IIT Kanpur

The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur is a premier scientiic research institute of India with a total site area of around 1000 acre. The NAFT Programme Building is a component of the various projects coming up at the IIT, Kanpur. The project has been designed keeping in mind its functional requirements as well as siting and orientation. The concept was to design a sustainable building in regard to architectural design as well as electrical, plmbing and mechanical design. The research building has been based on a modular system allowing for lexibility, optimum spatial eficiency and ample natural light. On our part, we designed the building in a way to optimize energy in several manners including orientation of the building, window to wall ratio, building envelop, shading devices and dalight.

On our part, we designed the building in a way to optimize energy in several manners including orientation of the building, window to wall ratio, building envelop, shading devices and dalight. The multi-story housing has been constructed in two phases, where in the same building module was repeated twice. The residential buildings are arranged around courtyards thereby providing opportunity for community interaction. The central courtyard has been designed in way which allows to create better lighting,ventilation and thermal comfort. Emphasis has been laid to create better living solutions with adapting and learning lesson from past, to create sustainable solutions whihc improve the standard of living.

Landscaping in the public zone Indian Chancery Complex, Kathmandu, Nepal

View of the public zone from the main entrance to the site The Indian Embassy site is spread over an area of 46 acres in Kathmandu and has a unique green cover. The site is generally lat with a gradual slope and peripheral band of steep slopes. All the buildings in the campus have been restricted within three storeys. Steep slopes have not been built upon to avoid disturbance to natural soil & topography and to minimize costs towards cutting & illing. The project, comprises the chancery ofices, 500 capacity auditorium, library, sports building, clinic, staff residences, along with other ancillary services and facilities buildings. The landscaping around the public zone of the chancery complex has been designed to create a focal point towads the main building i.e. the auditorium and the ashok stambha that has been installed right in front of the building. Various steps as well as ramps leads to the piazza which is an access to the multipurpose hall, the auditorium and the library. All the buildings of public zone are located along the access road from the main entry. A network of pathways runs along the vehicular roads and round the buildings that opens out at places like landscaped courtyards, stepped seating squares and areas around water bodies. An interesting feature is the stepped garden where seating has been created along the landscaped green which may be used for open air gatherings and performances. The looring of the piazza has been desgined to convey rhythm and symmetry, while remaining a timeless reminder of Indian craftsmanship.
