Polluted outdoor air is filtered by the east facade vegetation
Green courtyards in each wings of the building are designed as an highly effective way of reduce the cooling load by creating a passive cooling effect. They are featured with operable curtain walls for isolating the space for better air quality.

VRF systems obtain their high efficiency through the use of inverter compressors. The refrigerant (in this case water) passes through condenser units to indoor units, cutting down on the need for extensive ductwork and air handlers.

cooling indoor space
Green roofs and solar panels synergistically work together, creating a cooling effect by reducing roof surface heat absorption through solar radiation reflection and water vapor release via transpiration. This combined approach maximizes panel efficiency cooling the surrounding air.

Sun Moisture in air
Hydropanels capture moisture in the atmosphere through its fans powered by sun. The pulled water vapor than condensed by the warm air inside the panel to have drinkable water.

Structural rammed earth walls present high thermal mass, absorbing excess heat during the day and releasing it gradually during the cooler nights. This maintains indoor air temperature, reducing HVAC loads.

02 Built The Office For Tomorrow
Architecture: Academics Studio: Thesis Location: Mumbai, India Year: 2018-2019
We can learn anything from the history of office design, it’s that we focus on just filling space our work and our happiness suffers. When we understand the office buildings, they already account for more than 30 percent of India’s electricity use, and expected to increase 76% in India by 2040. This leads to major concern over how we can save energy and find solution soon to overcome this problem. 6

Looking forward to create future office Building with the goal of making it a magnet for consultants, alumni, clients, and other constituents, bringing people together in the name of greater collaboration. Design to establish a deeper connection with the outdoors and ensure an open, flexible and stimulating working environment for greater productivity as well as a sense of well-being of the employees.

04 Cruise Terminal
Architecture: Academics Studio: Design Location: Mumbai, India Year: 2018
The Mumbai Port Trust has proposed an International Cruise Terminal, Domestic cruise terminal and a row-on row-off (RoRo) passenger ferry service for vehicles from Ferry Wharf in Mumbai to Mandwa in Raigad along the eastern water front. The project aims at developing a Domestic Cruise Terminal and RoRo Terminal at Princess Dock, Mazgaon. This proposal shall meet the needs of the cruise industry and related tourism for Mumbai even when the cruise is not working during rainy season. 13

This proposal shall meet the needs of the cruise industry and related tourism for Mumbai even when the cruise is not working during rainy season. To do that I proposed a sea facing restaurant and a park catering every age group along with required functions so that tourism will never be hampered. VIEW of park showing adventure zone

05 Community Development
Architecture: Academics Studio: Design Location: Maheshwar, India Year: 2017
The project required to create an Tourists and Town Interface of 3 Acre contoured site which is centrally positioned right at the entrance and is flanked by the settlement to the north, palace to the west and southwest, temple complex and Ghats on the south, and a green zone on the east for future development, thereby positioning itself as a spatial connector between these various elements of the fort precinct. 16

06 Responsive City
Competition: Responsive City Collaborators: Daisaria Associates Location: Surabaya, Indonesia Year: 2018
In this competition we were supposed to create our own brief on to how our future cities will react to current natural issues.So we designed a hub which will be creating a floating housing complex with different modules and this hub independently will be self-sustaining through various factors. 18

07 Mosul Post War Refugee Camp
Competition: Mosul Post War Refugee Camp Collaborators: Daisaria Associates Location: Mosul, Iraq Year: 2017
This competition is based on Mosul after their war where we need to design a refugee camp for the people where they can heal, accept the current situation and can reconnect with the world. So we have created an iconic structure to depict their everlasting existence, healing gardens and different sets of living areas where one is based on their current style and another with modern architecture. 21
08 Elements Apartments
Architecture: Professional Construction: Redevelopment Location: Mumbai, India Year: 2020
The site had an existing two different structures both ground plus three floors along with a post office. With plot area of around 1500 sq. mt., which was achieved after the dispute was solved, the possibility of creating the built area was huge. The building reaching upto 70m in height occupying one, two and three bhk apartments with gym, gaming room, walking track and swimming pool as an additional amenities. 22
