planning.

model development.

Within the colonial style villa, I got into the project in the early stage itself. All the interns were asked to build a huge mass model of the site. Since the site being a contoured hill station, the long hours at the workshop were quite enjoyable in making hands on models.

Moving forward with the design, I got designated to villa 04, were I would sketch out plans and simultaneously create massing models in sketch up. Towards the final stages I was able to design the final model in sketch up then proceeded to draft the tender drawings were I got to do all the elevations and sections as depicted.

de earth. AKG Bhawan.

Party Office @ puthiyangadi, keral a Grill detailed drawings

+ Jali Drawings

+ Landscape Drawings

AKG Bhawan was a party house for the communist party of Kerala, India. The party house at Puthiyangadi comprised of an exposed column design house with nuances of intricate details of “jalis” and skylights. The term “jail” is known for layering terracotta bricks on L angular sections to create alternative ideology to fenestrations. I got to work with a lot of working drawings on and off site of this project which created extreme exuberance within me such as Exposed grill detailed drawings, “Jali” Drawings, landscape drawings etc.

ON SITE CONDITIONS:

1. Regarding the grill deisgn, a 10cm Flush needs to be there with the ground floor beam in order to accomodate the box section.

2. The window fenestrations needs to accomodate an extra sill so that water cannot be pentrated into the built form

3. As of now, Joinary works are going on, but some of the doors can only done after flooring, in order to accomodate that adequate height.

live. EJT office.

Live project-01. 100 sqm office space.

Outside Architectural school life work.

This was my first live project which was built over the course of 3-4 months back home in Oman, Muscat. It is also imperative to note that the client was my father which allowed a lot flexibility with the design and I also had a clear cut idea of the budget being spent for the project.

Growing up as a child, I had also worked part time in my Father’s office which adds value to the fact that I knew the demands and the needs of the office space quite clearly. The office being a kitchen equipment’s, non-medical + medical spare parts, electrical components trading company, the key design driver was storage space. This would imply that most furnitures would have to be custom made, which we did built in house. To bring modularity to the rack design we used G.I. channels to create 300mm to 450mm rack designs to intricately design storage space.

The shop itself was a 100sqm space leased out from Hilal properties and as per the client’s requirements the first 25 sqm could be a showroom space dedicated for displaying all the spare-parts. The rest 75 sqm was completely turned into storage space with 2 office spaces namely foreman’s office and accounts office kept side by side with each other. Designing the racks in plan was also detrimental as there should be enough passage way for walking through the racks to keep the efficiency of the office space high to find spare-parts between the racks and deliver it to the their respective clients.

Phase 01 mainly comprised of building out the general layout. The ceiling was built by G.I. I section beams with a black finish giving a industrial look on the interior. A mezzanine floor was also introduced to maximize storage space.

curation . We used 300mm to 450mm width racks made up of 1/2’’ inch GI channels which gave us the freedom of creating modularity in the racks for different section of spare parts.
