HOUSE ON THE HILLS
Location: Nashik
Type: Interior
Collaborator: Akshay Singavi
Status: Completed, 2022
What is the idea of a modernday apartment? A housing unit located in a high-rise residential tower, disconnected from the ground and other housing units. The design starts to develop with the thought of questioning and reimagining this disconnect from the ground, with the intention to create a space where the inside and outside boundaries are blurred, establishing a connection with the landscape.
Designed for a pair of young couples, the house uses a palette of white and brown that creates a controlled backdrop for the house. The white ceiling and flooring intend to make the space feel large.
Veneer-panelled walls guide one’s eye to the view outside. Green lime plaster is a metaphoric reflection of the distant green hills visible from the house. The apartment becomes a stenographic narrative that opens to a landscape, of a scale, such that it almost feels as if the apartment sits on the foothills of Pandavleni, serving as a backdrop to the house.
The journey through the house is a slow dance of textures, feelings and character. The custom-designed furniture and art pieces, almost offer the warmth of a storytelling environment while being a story in itself.

Located in Bangalore, Das Residence is a bungalow for a free-spirited family with a young daughter. Deriving its form from a generic pitched roof house profile, the house is split into two halves: one half being the calm and controlled structure, other half being the wild vegetation that starts to take control with time.

Choudhury
Status: Ongoing
Designed with the idea of expanding horizontally and vertically, Rana Residence is a split-level bungalow for a joint family in Bangalore. To have privacy yet awareness of others in the house, the slab is jiggered into two halves at different levels. This allows for a central courtyard and multiple terrace gardens that let nature in and blur the boundaries between inside and outside.

NOSTALGIC GARDEN
Location: Amravati
Type: Landscape
Collaborator: Abhilasha Patil
Status: Ongoing
Nostalgic Garden is a landscape renovation of an alreadydesigned home of a joint family with traditional roots. Located in Amravati, the landscape is designed with the intention to hold onto the promises of the future yet invoke the nostalgia of the past. The language starts to develop through the juxtaposition of contemporary spatiality with traditional elements and materials.
Programs start to generate from the different aspirations of different generations. As one enters, a pathway loops around the house with smaller pockets for pause to break the linearity of the space. A centrally located lawn, for hosting
family gatherings, consists of a gazebo engulfed within trees and fragrant flower plants. A small, low-maintenance, cascading water feature acts as a sensorial element which can be seen from the gazebo. Multiple trellises along the pathway act as gateways to larger landscapes. The backyard spaces are provided with vegetable gardens for growing daily fruits and vegetables.
Sandstone is used for the pathway and planter bed cladding to give an earthy, robust and monolithic feel. Hence the design responds to the everyday ritual of gardening, and the interactions with nature that will occur in these spaces.

GARDEN OF ESCAPE
Location: Nashik
Type: Landscape
Status: Ongoing
How does one escape and find their identity in a joint family home?
Garden of Escape is a provocation that re-imagines a not-so-functional court in a bungalow. The space provides an opportunity to pause and find peace while escaping from the chaos and madness in the house.
The existing courtyard had a waterbody and outdoor sitting space which was rarely used. It also had a wild palm tree whose roots had started to break the tiles and P.C.C. of the seating space. Adjacent to the pooja and dining space in the house, the proposed garden consists of multiple pause spaces like a court, pergola, swing and a planter bed while minimising the breaking of any existing structure.
This allows the dining to spill into the garden and provides a backdrop of greens for people inside the house.
To match the earthy, and robust sandstone cladding on the wall, rough salt-finish concrete of similar shade is used. It has a marble inlay pattern of ‘moon’ which derives its language from the ‘sun’ mural on the wall.
Thus, the court is transformed into a simple biophilic space that helps one connect with nature, allowing for a new sense of joy, and humility.

INSERSTITIAL LIVING: RETHINKING URBAN HOUSING
Location: Nashik
Type: Architecture (Mass Housing)
Guide: Prasad Shetty and Vastavikta Bhagat
‘Interstitial Living’ is a socialurban housing proposal that rejects individual units as a basis of collective living and instead proposes the shared interstitials between housing units as generator of public life. The question for this provocation is: if the aggregation of housing is re-shifted to provide interstitial spaces between buildings, then what newer types of publicprivate realms can be created?
The site for this intervention is along the edge of the Godavari river in Nasik in a neighborhood that has been allocated for townships. The provocation questions and reimagies the idea of a township with five principles that cater to
the different concepts of planning the unit, cluster, public spaces and circulation.
To design the units, a modular approach was adopted. Each program within a house is considered as a module, coming together to make the housing unit. In the cluster, the volumes of interstitial spaces fall into two main categories: Neighbor scale and Neighborhood scale. Where the urban, multi-family housing enhances human plurality by smudging the boundaries between public and domestic space in order to allow the human condition to flow more seamlessly between the two realms.

As non-designated spaces between built form (houses)- A series of shared, non-defined spaces consisting of mixed public functions, creating overlaps of activities where chance encounters are able to occur. As a threshold acting in a continuum- Where the inside and outside diffuse but keep the private sacred.
Of various scales - Allowing for domestication and flexibility through different agencies.
Forming a labyrinth - A network where the open spaces are connected to create a continuous, permeable layout of the built form.
As nodes for recreation - Open spaces that allow for social and commercial transactions between users. And in turn become spaces for pause, rest and care.
