THE TREK-POD
Type - Competition
Material - Bamboo / Wood
Year - 2025
Team - Karan Agrawal , Vidhu Neve
Design Brief
The brief was to design a Tiny House for two individuals, ensuring a comfortable and functional living space. The design should be innovative, creative, and incorporate sustainable principles to enhance efficiency and environmental responsibility.
TINY HOUSE, VOLUME ZERO
Design Brief
The Trek-Pod is a compact, sustainable, and easily assembled tiny house designed for trekkers. Elevated on stilts, it seamlessly adapts to diverse terrains—from rugged mountains to coastal cliffs and open plains. Built as a modular unit, it can be assembled within hours, providing a comfortable retreat for two individuals. Thoughtfully designed, it offers distinct spaces for working, cooking, dining, and resting.
Constructed from bamboo, wood, and thatch, the Trek-Pod boasts a minimal carbon footprint while ensuring durability and functionality. This particular Trek-Pod is crafted for two individuals , offering them a simple yet essential home that enhances safety, comfort, and adaptability throughout their adventures.

INSTITUTION STUDIO
STRATAHAUS
Type - Institution
Site - Surat , Gujarat
Semester - IV
Year - 2024
Studio Brief
The studio brief calls for the design of an architecture archive and exhibition institution for the Council of Architecture, with the site located in Surat. The project will include various spaces such as a permanent exhibition hall, a temporary exhibition area, seminar rooms, and a cafeteria, creating a dynamic environment for showcasing and preserving architectural works.
Design Brief
The institute is designed around the interplay of mass and void, creating a hierarchy that guides movement and spatial experience. Transparent facades enhance openness and inclusivity, allowing visual continuity between exhibition areas and the surrounding environment.
The central open space acts as a buffer between built volumes, fostering interaction while ensuring natural ventilation and daylight. This spatial arrangement balances enclosure and openness, offering an immersive experience for visitors.
The design seamlessly integrates archival functions with exhibition spaces, encouraging engagement, knowledge exchange, and appreciation of architectural heritage within a dynamic and interactive environment that adapts to evolving curatorial needs.

MATERIAL STUDIO
TESSELLON
Type - Pavilion
Site - Ahmedabad , Gujarat
Semester - III
Year - 2023
Studio Brief
The studio brief focused on designing a long-span pavilion, which later evolved into a vendor’s workshop. The design development process involved extensive material exploration, including spaghetti for its structural properties, particularly strength and load distribution. These material studies informed the spatial and structural strategies of the project, leading to an innovative approach in balancing transparency, durability, and adaptability within the built environment.
Design Brief
The diagrid steel pavilion embodies a synergy of structural efficiency, modularity, and aesthetic expression, utilizing steel’s high strength-to-weight ratio for a lightweight framework. The diagonal grid system eliminates the need for traditional columns, optimizing material use while enhancing stability against lateral forces. Its modular triangular design allows for easy assembly, scalability, and adaptability to diverse environments.. Prefabricated steel components ensure sustainability, recyclability, and reduced construction waste, reinforcing the pavilion’s role as an innovative, adaptable, and visually striking architectural solution.
Design Development
Stage 1 - Initiating with a Triangular Module
Stage 3 - Introducing diagrid structural elements
Stage 5 - Refining the Pavilion’s Spatial Composition
Stage 2 - Expanding the Module into a Larger Triangular Form
Stage 4 - Repeating the Modules for a MultiLayered Structure
Stage 6 - Achieving a Complete Pavilion Form
LINEA 05
HOUSING STUDIO
