P O R T F O L I O Kanak Borgaonkar Selected works 2017- 2022
HELLO!! I firmly believe that the phrase "The world is built of atoms, it is made of little stories" is true. I like to make connections between life and stories that revolve around it. Architecture is multidisciplinary domain which integrates almost every aspect of human life and world. In reality, I am inspired by my everyday experiences that can be extra ordinary at times, which I wish to explore through Architecture. In order to achieve my aim, I want to consistently improve my design abilities and professional understanding of architecture and design I value commitment and curiosity, which will help me contribute significantly to any team.

01. Cultural center Cultural and leisure center at navraspura, Karnataka.
DESIGN BRIEF Cultural & Community Centers and such multifunctional spaces play a vital role in a peaceful and value based growth of a town and it’s inhabitants. They offer opportunities to embrace the history and culture of the area and bring the community together using this common bond. Navraspur is a quaint spot surrounded by cultivated plots of ground and forests of prickly pear. The old fort, palaces and other heaps of ruins evoke memories of the past. The Navraspur festival featuring the maestros of Indian music is held here every year in February. However due to lack of ancillary support infrastructure, services, activities, added with the draught like conditions, this singular grand cultural event too has faced a stopper for a few years now. The aim has always been to help keep this Historic Cultural Centre alive and boosting with tourists of various cultures sharing their intangible heritage within these piles of beautiful ruins.

02. Housing project at
vijayapura ( urban design )
DESIGN BRIEF The Client (landowner) of the site measuring 15 acres in Vijayapur city limits would like to investigate the development options for their land to deliver a residential-led development scheme that is proposed to provide well designed sustainable homes in a high quality environment, maximizing the provision of new affordable homes in order to create a sustainable neighborhood where people want to live, work and visit.
03. Apartment
Brief The location of apartment is in Bengaluru including 3 BHK and 4 BHK blocks. The aim of apartment is to understand the concept of “building containing more than one dwelling unit.” The vision is to provide occupants with more spaces and green spaces through terrace gardens to eliminate the feel of living in congested spaces which is the scenario of most of apartments in urban areas.
It is hard for the apartment dwellers of the city to get green space, a terrace garden can solve this problem. The cluster involves combination of 3 bhk and 4 bhk flats with terrace gardens which offer a visual break from the concrete jungles. The aesthetics of the garden is alone enough for anyone to feel relaxed.

04.Villa at Coorg Brief The resort design at Coorg includes villas, restaurant, clubhouse, spa, etc for visitors to enjoy the serene and calming nature of Coorg amidst the coffee plantation surrounding site. The aim of villa is to provide a soothing experience through its design which is achieved by calm colors, sustainable materials, water body attached to each villa with a skylight.
Responding to the context of site and city is the key towards sustainable development which has been achieved in project through pitched roofing since rainfall amount in Coorg is comparatively high.

05.Thesis ( 9th sem )
Abstract Humans have always had a strong connection with water. water bodies like rivers, coastal regions or lakes, act as lifelines for development of cities. However, how we position ourselves towards nature and its elements has changed over time. Today many of our rivers are facing threats on multiple fronts. Sangli is a city in Maharashtra, India, where proper development is required to reconnect the city with the riverfront, which has also been subjected to flooding conditions in recent years. This thesis seeks to design housing that will flourish alongside the Krishna River, improving the quality of life and bringing the riverfront to life through various activities that will aid in the growth of the city while also taking flooding conditions into account and providing appropriate mitigation. This will teach us to coexist with water and nature, allowing them to flourish while causing minimal disruption to residents and their valuables.

The buoyancy raft foundations are also known as compensated foundations or deep cellular rafts. Whatever be the name they are known for, they come under the category of floating foundations. These are known as fully compensated foundations as during their construction the soil underneath the foundation is removed, whose weight is equal to the weight of the whole superstructure. Hence the weight removed from the soil is compensated by the weight of the building
