2 . Chimna ba i Ashra m Chimnabai Ashram is the house of Ar. Chaitaniya Karnik.This 1500 Sqft project is designed in Wabi- Sabi style of Japanese artists at Medha, Maharashtra his home town in India. Wabi Sabi is a way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay.

My role as an intern is to document every corner of the house in order to make the presentation drawings and to make the scaled model of the house. The real challenge is to make the digital drawings which give the essence of handmade drawings.

I took over a week to document the house and a month to make the drawings to optimum level and 120 consecutive days to finish the detailed model of the house using actual material to major proportion, resulting in a fabulous model.

3 . Lo n ava la House The holiday home in Lonavala, Maharashtra, designed with a 20,000 square foot built-up area on a 45,000 square foot plot, embodies the client’s vision of harmonizing with nature. Prioritizing sustainability, the home uses natural materials like stone, wood for construction and follows the wabi-sabi style for interiors, emphasizing simplicity, natural beauty, and the elegance of imperfection. The client’s preference for preserving on-site trees and plants during construction and reusing elements like doors and cabinetry from their ancestral home adds a unique, personal touch to the project.

As the Junior Architect, I played a crucial role in realizing this vision.

Responsibilities included coordinating with on-site teams, sourcing sustainable materials, integrating reused elements into the design, and ensuring minimal disruption to the natural environment.

This project showcases a seamless blend of modern design with traditional elements, creating a tranquil and aesthetically pleasing retreat that deeply connects with its natural surroundings.
