My continued interest with the expression throughout the architecture. I consider myself a creative person who cannot stop imagining how to make any project or concept realise. In 2005 I graduated with Bachelors in Architecture from Rachana Sansad’s Academy of Architecture (University of Mumbai). Now i have an overall experience of 10 years; where I gained an insight and knowledge in multi-disciplinary design operations. I have also been in teaching profession so I appreciate that design is a process which comes from series of research and also firm believes in the same.

Spa Competition Delhi Urban Context
Sovereignty of freedom The masterplan proposes the built programs and infrastructure to be integrated into one architectonic system, where a distinct typological adoption for the academic and the housing block maintains the individual sanctity. The typologies maximize the public realm at ground level by interweaving ecological systems and positioning of built mass with free planning systems. The academic block withholds its institutional sovereignty from the programmatic organization and by unifying the individual identities within. The proposed site for The New SPA Campus imposes the challenge of bridging and integrating the trench with the overall planning. The site also shows good potentials to utilize vegetation at both higher lower planes. The main gradient of water percolation system along with the site gradient sets guidelines for the water supply and drainage systems. Further the lowest point of the site becomes catchment area for rain water harvesting. The eastern part of the site being at higher altitude and being more close to the main access provides a better opportunity to achieve higher visibility for the academic block.

Blue Frog The studio was commissioned to create a sculptural object for the Urban Distortion launch event at the Blue Frog in Mumbai. To create this object we explored the transformation of the club’s two-dimensional graphic logo into a three dimensional sculptural piece. Crafted with digital technology the sculpture is the result of the tectonic translation of the triangular graphic into a sculptural faceted form. The piece is constructed with a faceted plywood shell topped with blue acrylic facets to minimise cost and weight while retaining a high-spec and durable exterior. Each of the triangular facets was mapped with a distinct serial and location number so that they can easily assembled together. The structural base is made with plywood shell with triangular facets acting both as stiffening elements as well as shaping the form. The blue acrylic facets were then bonded onto the plywood shell to create a high-quality and lightweight jewel like blue frog.
