About me

“

I firmly think that well-designed places have the power to revitalise the five senses that every livingbeing possesses. I try to visualise and design spaces that are uniquely impactful and experiential, yet let them stay rooted with traditional materials and methods that can embrace social and cultural context as well. I enjoy working on a junction’s detailing to enhance the user experience.

I believe that to solve any design problem, focus on demand and the experience of the user matter the most, along with a funtional, strategic design solution.

P&G OFFICE FOR FUTURE Academic Project (Fall 2023): Reimaging the future of the workplace through adaptive reuse Location: 8256 Union Centre Blvd, West Chester Township, Ohio Area: 3,74,400 sq feet

Office design for P and G revolves around the core principles of axis symmetry and the transformative power of natural light. Considering light as an important criterio to readapt the work space, roof plays the role of the a dynamic element, channeling light strategically into work areas, meeting rooms, and communal spaces. This concept emphasizes the duality of elements in your office design, highlighting the balance between solidity and transparency, function and aesthetics, and day and night functionality.

“The space creates an experience curated to optimize productivity, foster collaboration, and enhance wellbeing through the symbiotic relationship between design, light, and function.”

Vault House

Thin House Academic Project (Spring 2024): Precedent study for Thin House Location: Oxnard United States Area: 3600 sq feet

The Thin House project draws inspiration and concepts from the Vault House precedent study, particularly in its utilization of unidirectional vaults. While maintaining the essence of vaulted spaces, modifications are made to the construction assembly. Horizontal planks are incorporated into the exterior framework, creating a play of negative and positive spaces that facilitate visual connectivity, even from the furthest reaches of the house.

Additionally, the project takes into account the existing site conditions, ensuring minimal disruption to the ecology while leveraging it to enhance the functionality of the Thin House through optimal light distribution.

LIGHT AND FUNCTION

Vault House _ Johnston Marklee_Parti Diagrams

The building, despite its basic rectangular shape, features arched windows and recesses punctuating its volume from all angles. This design element is echoed inside, where vaulted doorways, rooms, and corridors create a continuous motif, culminating in a sweeping view of the beach and ocean.

FRAGMENTATION

By arranging stacked and unidirectional vaulted rooms within a straightforward rectangular structure, the parallel alignment of these rooms serves to enhance and extend the oceanfront vista. Adhering to local regulations, the house is elevated two meters above the sand and designed to collapse in the event of a tsunami, resulting in a split-level two-story layout with a garage tucked underneath at the rear.

A welcoming arched entrance guides visitors through a central courtyard, allowing natural light to permeate the interior while subtly dividing the living areas at the front from the bedrooms at the rear.

Facade study Academic Project (Fall 2023): Precedent study for Thin House Location: Oxnard United States Area: 3600 sq feet

The project was about to create a detailed design for a single-story structure featuring a crawl space beneath, constructed primarily with wood. The structure has a sloped roof and include significant glazing, with 40% of the total glazing area on the south side and 25% on the east side. Additionally, the entry point is situated on the east side of the building.

The facade design prioritizes privacy by limiting visibility from the interior to the exterior while restricting views from the exterior to the interior. To achieve this, a buffer space is incorporated between the facade and the interior glazing wall. This buffer space serves the dual purpose of preventing direct heat gain and minimizing wind exposure.

Misbehaved Tectonics Academic Project (Spring 2024): Precedent study Radial cable tensile structure Location: O2 Dome ,Londn, United Lingdom

The project explored the influence of different construction methods on a radial cable tensile structure precedent. 3D objects were developed based on this study, utilizing laser cutting, 3D printing, and CNC milling to explore various geometries and parametrics. By intentionally misusing and appropriating each fabrication process, new structural hybrids emerged. This iterative process facilitated the creation of a catalog showcasing diverse tectonic possibilities and their associated fabrication materials.

Considdering precend t study various iterations were tried to potray the nature of tensile cables and the fabric which is shaped with the geometry of the radially arranged tensile cables.The relation between soild and void volumes, supported and suspended solids etc were explored throup three processes.

05 Tectonics in Architecture Academic Project (Fall 2023): Precedent study for Thin House Location: Neue National Gallery, Berlin, Germany Area: 53820 sq feet

This project is based on a precedent study of the works of Moshe Safdie and Tadao Ando. Several buildings by these architects were analyzed to inform the design of the exhibition space within the Neue National Gallery, originally designed by Mies van der Rohe.

The temporary interior exhibition structure within the building was designed by integrating the geometry of the building itself. Inspired by the solid and void forms of the arches found in many of Moshe Safdie’s buildings, these elements were strategically positioned around the periphery, serving as supports for suspended exhibition panels. The central interior structure features a grid of cubes with staggered levels, following the same geometry and proportions as those found in the works of both architects, Safdie and Ando. This space thus serves as a convergence between the modern and contemporary architectural styles of Moshe Safdie and Tadao Ando, showcasing their works within the iconic building designed by Mies van der Rohe.

Orchestration of lights are considered the major concept where light elements made of fabric an faceted planks are designed considering the architetcural style of both architects.

XYZ of ABC: WELLS OF ASSEMBLY Academic Project(Spring 2020): Public Space (Shop and Experience center for “WATER”) Location: Prathma blood center , Ahmedabad Area: 8000 sq meter Site clearly has a void spaces formed between the original core working glass box which is wrapped as a skin of intuitive curved concrete walls. The huge 4.5 storey void between concrete curve walls and glass box create a sense of experience of a deep inside the Well from within. Three wells are experienced in the site all which intersects with each other as walls and thus interlocks as a volume at different heights. These wells (curved walls) are of different geometry so forms different scale of volumes. These strong geometry of the site influence the form and design with Kit of Parts.

with ramps, and staircase Left corner bay is the is the main interpretation

SECTION BB Section BB showing the insertion of truss modules in between the concrete cavity walls. Inserted Truss modules are glazed with Louvers on the facade to allow the flow of air from west- east direction. The casteleted beam truss houses the louvers in the north direction to allow light inside the space.

SECTION 33 Section 33 showing the space divides in 3 halves in which the central space behaves as module for wind /air circulation levels in the other two modules helps in the clear view even from the other half of the building. Lower spaces are the public spaces (cafe, shop )which are easily accessible rather than the upper levels which are interpretation centre which needs to be more connected with the site visually.

Hands on Making

Miscelleneous Experimenting with crafting wooden and metal furniture, incorporating a bamboo deck, and assembling a wooden sukkah presents an exciting opportunity to explore various materials and techniques. Additionally, the inclusion of glazed ceramics, red clay, acrylic lamps, and tie-dyeing methods further enriches the creative process, allowing for the fusion of different textures, colors, and forms. This interdisciplinary approach encourages the development of innovative and eclectic designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Furniture: Wood and Metal

Furniture: Wood and Metal

Wooden Folding Chair (Prototype) This folding chair is designed for Sitting and Watching T.V. for a space designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (Robie house).

The furniture designed reflects the ideology of linear vertical members along with horizontality which is reflected in the spaces designed by the architect.

Role : Concept and Design of the Furniture.

Prototype: Execution was done in a gorup of 4 people.

Working with Bamboo|Deck

Cantilever Bamboo Deck The Building of small bamboo deck / pavilion space to scale so as to explore the various stages and structural aspects of this style of construction.

The learnings during the project included the study of the inherent properties of bamboo and it’s use in structural design during their site visits to ABARI projects but also were keen to train in making our joining mechanisms.

Step 01

Preparing foundation pit for the cantilever deck with column on both side with a connecting beam .

Digging a pit and then first filling up with stones and then ramming it so that the earth stays at a place and gives a plain clean surface for frame work to rest and concrete to be poured.

Step 02

Selecting bamboo and processing it.

For structural use bamboo should always be selected from the shorter side i.e from the side where there is lesser distance between two nodes. Then sanding the nodes and making it smooth for aesthetics and also to avoid wear and tear.

Applying varnish on bamboo for aesthetics and to protect it from rain, sun, wind etc.

Step 03

Making fish mouth joinery in bamboo and fixing it with barrel nut and threaded rod.Horizontal 45 degree bracing drilling on site while assembling and tying it with threaded rod and nut.

Fixing bamboo with threaded rod while rotating it which was inserted in concrete beam.Fixing and tighting nut with key.

Brand Wall Concepts The brand concept is developed by taking the inferences from the expressions ,language, style, material, form and colour of the Furnitures and inteior elements designed by brand Arisaa.

Toning down the background shades such that the brand wall is highlighed through the dark blink red and blue color.

Arch shape infered from the forms and the shape of the furniture. Black powder coated metal frame complimenting the sleekness also presented in the furniture elements.

91

Arisaa by Projects 3.14

Conceptualization The design of the products played an important role while conceptualizing the space.

The pop colours in the furnitures drived the idea to keep the background plain and add a bright touch of colour to the ceiling which will also play a role of binding element to unify and enlarge the whole space visually.

The central stage is to display the new upcomming exclusive range of furniture
