DENIM PAVILION....

Denim jeans have become an integral part of everyone’s life, so much so that most of us never stop to question where our favorite pair came from, how they were manufactured, nor their history.

Denim was adopted as the preferred fabric choice largely confined to the working people of the western United States, such as cowboys, lumberjacks, and railroad workers.

Later it became an unofficial uniform at protests, discos, and all ranges of social activities. During the same period, women were starting to embrace sexual liberation through their clothing. College students started wearing them as a protest against the Vietnam War and the formality of the establishment. At the same time, denim jeans became popular among motorcycle boys and juvenile delinquents.

The 1990s ushered in another era in denim culture and styling with the emergence of baggy jeans and dungarees in Hip-Hop The main design intent for the Pavilion is to make the people understand the great and correct historical background of Denim which was associated with the self-expression, individuality and rebelliousness of the people. Now Denim jeans transcend gender, age, and class–with most people owning more pairs than there are days in the week.

As we enter the Pavilion, we see the two history pods with big metal rings supported by the long steel rods which have a 3D VR platform showing us the history of the denim.

It leads to the big white cube, which is the denim fashion store.

Along the pathways, pipes are placed, which gives the factory-like dystopian look to the pavilion, which adds another dimension to it. This unconventional and alienated design brings out the architectural aesthetics with a pragmatic approach.

The enormous steel structure supports all these on the sides of the pavilion.

HOME....

This residence is built for a Fashion designer who spent his childhood days in the rural part of Japan. Then he moved to Tokyo and spent the early hard part of his life in the Nakagin Capsule Tower. After making a breakthrough in his career and accomplished his best in his field, now he wants to relax his life in a peaceful home.

The primary intent of the design is to tell the nostalgic history of the client beautifully through the language of architecture.

This residence is designed based on the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of wabi-sabi emphasizes the virtues of accepting the transience of beauty and the inevitability of imperfection.

Through this simple, imperfect, asymmetrical, and unique design, we try to showcase the entire world the nostalgic journey of the client.

There are two entrances in this design, one for the fashion boutique and the other for the house. Both are separated by a central courtyard so that there won’t be any disturbances.

The entrance to the house is placed in the Traditional Japanese part of the house. As we enter, there is a living room with a small courtyard through which it brings natural light and ventilation inside the house. Then we reach the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a big glass sliding door which gives a magnificent view of the outside garden.

The fashion boutique has long displayed units with storage and a fitting room. Behind the reception are the designer’s studio and office.

As we reach the first floor through the staircase, we reach the informal living room for family interaction with the amazing view through the large glass windows.

The first floor has two master bedrooms and one guest bedroom with a closet and a bathroom.

MODERN ART MUSEUM...

Modern art is a style conceptualized by breaking the rules, traditional values of the past and conceptualizing something new by experimentation. We have tried to create something similar which is aesthetically pleasing, unusual with absence of harmony, continuity and symmetry. The high-end gallery for fine arts, sculptures, art restoration facilities, artist studios and an outdoor performance theater aims to empower the local artists so that they may play a critical role in the evolution of their community. This program merges Contemporary, National and International arts together. We have equally divided the facilities into two zones: a museum containing galleries and art restoration and a facility for education and research.

We have divided the museum into academic-auction and gallery spaces. The ground floor has the classrooms for paintings and sculptures accompanied by a separate auditorium. There is also a gallery space where students and others can put up their work.

The library and the gallery space are accessible to both the users. There is a space provided for the auctions to be held. We have placed the gallery spaces above the academic-auction space. We have arranged the gallery spaces based on the timeline of the Modern Art Movement so that people can feel the uniqueness of the art of that time period.
