JITESH. B S
Greetings, Iam Jitesh.BS As a freshly graduated junior architect at the Chennai Academy of Architecture and Design(2019-24), I’ve come to understand that architecture is more than just walls and roofs; it’s a tool for creating meaningful environments that connect with people and the environment.
I personally believe that architecture has a social obligation to positively affect society and the built environment, which makes me more interested in designing meaningful spaces that foster community interaction.
I want to improve my knowledge, critical reasoning skills, and problem-solving talents. I am more interested in gaining practical knowledge and discovering new approaches to work as architect.

CHATHURA RESIDENCE
Abstract
Located in Surapet, Chennai, a housing project named Chathura.
The planning is done using a grid; the word “chathura” implies “square and creative.” The proposal includes a small three-bedroom house and a shop with parking on the ground level. Despite Chennai’s hot, humid weather, setting up a courtyard will assist in preventing hot air , lower temperature, and create a stack effect. Vertical louvres function as a shade mechanism as well. Due to the site’s location at a corner intersection and the shop’s location on the ground level, which poses a concern for privacy, the facade feature serves a dual purpose.

The housing is planned like duplex courtyard act as a visually connecting space . It is a transition space which connects the residence with street.
A plan for a mixed-use development in Bessant Nagar that attempts to incorporate public space, co-living, and co-working. Three blocks, each with a distinct floor and parking space reserved for coworkers and coliving users, make up the built form. Bridges connect the areas, and the top floor of the inner buildings serves as a public area with indoor activities set up. Unorganized street sellers and guest pod rooms are features included in the design of the stalls.
• The location is in Besentnagar, on a junction road that forms an L-shaped site and has the chance to accommodate three different sorts of activities.
• By taking into account the site’s traffic, the three entrances for three different forms of activity separate the circulation, and the two parking spaces—one for residents and the other for urban amenities and office space—create a balanced circulation.
• Additionally, the massing is carried out in accordance with the activity’s typology and open space and connecting space.
• The activities of people vary according to their ages and employment status.
• A building footprint analysis with three cores for co-living, co-working, and public space
• On the basis of the analysis, massing options were developed throughout the procedure.
