cee-extension@ACADEMIC (sem-5) Project Level : Academic project.

Project Type : Individual Project.

Project Scale : 2600 square meters.

Date : 5th Sem.Project (July2023-Nov. 2023) Project Supervisor : Ar.Vimarsh pandya.

Extension project of CEE Ahmedabad, crafted under the influence of renowned architect AR. Neelkanth Chhaya, our studio’s aim was to glean wisdom from architectural masters. Employing a meticulous approach, I deconstructed the existing building into modular “kitparts” and seamlessly integrated them with innovative materials and construction techniques. The resulting design fosters a harmonious relationship between the new and existing blocks, with familiar elements such as waffle slabs, grid patterns, double-height entries, courtyards, pergolas, and semi-open spaces, creating a cohesive and inviting environment for all who enter.

Project Type : Individual Project.

Project Scale : 2700 square meters.

Date : 4th Sem.Project (Jan2022-May 2022) Project Supervisor : Ar.Neha Nair.

The studio examined patterns of domestic and social life anchored in a settlement in Ambli, an urban village located in western Ahmedabad. Initial studies and documentations explored effects of relationship between people and space on formation of the settlement, dwelling units, and the in-between. Hence, studio explored patterns leading to generating of clusters and the resultant social spaces, and thresholds with homes. Concepts of spatial organisation and space hierarchies, transition and thresholds, architectural responses to transparency and privacy, and elements of thresholds were explored in unit and cluster design.

All the houses are designed in such a way that its own ventilation system keep it cool and also have enough amount of light throughout the day,sliding folding door as main door to connect more and also incorporating with otla and wash yard.

The cluster formation allow people to communicate interact by creating small chowks between houses connectd to the bigger chowk leading to the temple.The above diagram shows the movment in chowk on normal days which helps the building community.

The shared otlas,washyards facing each other and windows opening in chowks keeps community together.

Our project is an embodiment of ecological responsibility and innovative design. Drawing inspiration from the common practice of discarding coconut shells after quenching one’s thirst, we’ve envisioned a pavilion constructed entirely from used tender coconuts. The extended biodegradation period of these shells serves as a poignant reminder of the environmental impact of thoughtless waste disposal.

This pavilion serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it acts as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards the environment, offering a visual commentary on the need for conscious material choices. Secondly, it serves as a testament to the power of regeneration and recycling in architecture. As visitors engage with this organic, coconut-inspired pavilion, they will immerse themselves in an environment that seamlessly merges with the surrounding natural landscape.

The pavilion is a symbol of transformation, reminding us that even the simplest of materials, when viewed through an eco-conscious lens, can be reborn into something of lasting beauty and value. Our objective is to refine and expand upon our pioneering construction method using dried tender coconut shells and explore its broader applications in the construction industry, addressing the pressing issue of wasted coconuts in the country.

modular school in rural india@ACADMIC (sem-6) Project Level : Academic project.

Project Type : Group Project.

Project Scale : 750 square meters.

Date : Jan.2024 Project Supervisor : Ar.Ayushi Motiwalla The design brief highlights our main aims: crafting adaptable, practical, and eco-conscious learning spaces. Using a visionary concept, modular units are carefully designed with spatial organization, materials, and technology in mind. Detailed breakdowns of each module aid construction clarity. The modules are versatile for diverse educational purposes while remaining sustainable. The school design integrates multiple modules cohesively, focusing on communal areas and aesthetic consistency. Furthermore, the project explores adapting the design for different climates, showcasing our sustainability commitment across environments.

Date : June2023-July. 2023 Project Supervisor : Ar.Nachiket Shelat and Ar.Nishita Kedia

During my one-month internship, I assisted in creating service drawings and building a physical model for an Architectural design project. This involved translating design concepts into practical plans for electrical, Furniture Layout, and working drawing of Bedroom and kitchen , as well as constructing a detailed model for client presentations. This experience enhanced my skills in technical drafting and model-making, providing valuable insights into the field of interior design.

The design features an open space with a series of steps that serve multiple purposes. Some steps lead upward to provide a scenic view of the lake, while others descend to create seating areas. Additionally, there is a hidden resting spot nestled within the steps. The deliberate placement of the steps dictates the flow of movement for individuals within the space, offering different experiences and interactions with the environment.
