Adaptive Reuse of an Old Irrigation Workshop

The makeover of the old irrigation workshop in Roorkee is like a journey to bring back to life a really old building that's been around for over 200 years. Built during the time when the British were in India, this workshop was super important in making the Ganga Canal. It's got a cool history, even being the place where the first steam engine ran! But now, it's getting old and needs a facelift. This project aims to make it fresh again, keeping its historical charm but also making it useful for today's needs. It's like giving the workshop a modern makeover while still respecting its old story, making sure it stays an important part of Roorkee's history and look.

Project Description : Location - Roorke Project Type - Adaptive Reuse Building Type - Industrial Buildin Development area - 8622m2 Site is divided into 4 different blocks.
