The building stands as two harmonious elements, each reflecting the other in form but contrasting in function—one, private, dedicated to control rooms, offices, and emergency operations; the other, public, with spaces for gathering, including a dining hall, auditorium, and exhibition halls. Linking these distinct identities, a bridge soars, spanning across the natural plaza.
Main structural element - Mass timber,
The building breathes a vision of sustainability, crafted to achieve net-zero energy. It generates life - carbon neutral, water efficient, and energy abundant - sustaining itself and the world around it. Powered by solar energy, the building landscapes and green terraces breathe life into the project, with serene water bodies, tree-lining the southern edges, and lush gardens inviting moments of relaxation and connection, fostering a bond with nature.
Mechanical systems used - Geo Thermal.
Net zero energies - Solar energy, Green terraces, Water bodies
The facade of the building was designed based on the solar heat gain. The louvers of the facade are placed in direction of the sunlight to maximze shading into the office spaces and minimize the energy usage of the building. Henceforth, the materials of the building are carefully choosen considering the surroundings and sustainabilty.
Materials Used - Mass timber, Steel, Recycled Iron, Glass and Concrete.

As a team we had crafted a container house using discarded container trucks for competetion, where we wanted to reimagine modern architecture by giving shipping containers a new purpose – transforming them into chic and eco-friendly living spaces. Our modular design wasn’t just about aesthetics; rather functionality and contemporary living.
The container house project truly refleced my passion for pushing boundaries and embracing innovation and recycling waste.

Center for the Study of American South
When an architectural design draws solely from tradition and only repeats the dictates of the site, I sense alack of genuine concern with the world and the emanations of contemporary life. If a work of architecture speaks only of contemporary trends and sophisticated visions without triggering vibrations in its place, this work is not anchored in its site,and I miss the specific gravity of the ground that it stands on.

INSIGHTS GLEANED
Over the past Six years, I’ve dedicated myself in upgrading a deep passion for architecture, constantly building knowledge and understanding of the field, the practical side of it interests me the most. To me, architecture is beyond academical study; with each passing day I developed a new perspective, pushed myself towards a new challenge, brought a new opportunity, it embodies a realm of exploration and discovery.
Every architectural creation resonates with its own unique emotion and energy, and it’s this sensitivity to spatial experiences that I’ve honed over time. I bring every insights that I gain helps me to integrate with the world of architecture.
Taking strongest steps towards never ending journey.
