Pesit Girls Hostel 02
University Hostel Design, 2023-2024
In collaboration with Gayathri and Namith Architects
The design process of hostel at Pesit University was a testament to the brilliant mentorship I had under Gayathri and Namith Architects.
The hostel was designed to stand as a beacon of community, captivating all who behold its majestic silhouette along the renowned New Mysore Road. Weaving together form and function to create a space that not only meets the needs of its inhabitants but nourish their souls.
As the face of the university, the hostel’s unique stepped deck format commands attention, its radial layout invited an invigorating flow of fresh air. From its commanding presence along the New Mysore Road to its panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, the design went through varies iterations before reaching the form it is now.
After a lot of iterations the present massing of the hostel was decided keeping the climatic conditions at site. Taking Bangalore weather into consideration I wanted to utilise more of the wind flow with this building. Special care was taken to introduce more green gardens into the campus as to increase the mental wellbeing of the inhabitants.
