The Project was ideated to create a multi-functional complex in Bharathpur. The rich cultural and historical fabric of the city, required a place for the local and the global visitors to intersect. It was envisioned to house spaces of interest for the local native residents. The complex is central to the interpretation centre, for narrating the history of the fort to its visitors. A skill development center, workshops, accomodation for visitors is designed.
Views from the site Ideal locations for reacreational activities
Access routes Access for diffrent groups is facilitated from suitable locations
Movement around the site Vehicular and pedestrianroutes are identified The idea was to reatin the moat as a part of the interpretation centre, while the cafe is located on the moat wall, it provides the view of the city, and serves as a landmark.

Why Faroe Islands ?
A millenial creative soul, seeking adventure, peace and serenity. A digital creator, who ventures to connect with nature, amateur star gazer, Sørvágsvatn
A seculed island, within close proximity to the airport. The house is located near the Sorvagsvatn lake, this magical lake gives an illusion of being hundreds of meters above the ocean, thus spilling into it
Torshavn
Lake by the ocean
The massing frames the abundent views the site has, while barely clinging on to the cliff
Interlocking volumes, creating viewpoints and walkways. The living room is morphed for star gazing
The water from the lake, spill into the ocean weaving through the spaces in the house, adding an aural quality to the space.
The Arches, Pagodas and domes, add a character of nostalgia to this otherwise minimal space
