I am a recent graduate in architecture, driven by a passion for designing impactful buildings. My design philosophy emphasizes creating spaces that promote human interaction and maintain a strong connection to nature.
I am keen to explore a wide range of architectural styles globally, continuously expanding my knowledge and skills through each experience. My goal is to craft environments that not only resonate with people but also inspire meaningful connections and engagement.

Community centres have played a significant role in the life of many communities by providing recreational areas in the dense city life. But not all the community centre have developed and some areas still thrives for these recreational spaces.
The aim of this project is to design a community center in one of these areas, providing an environment that offers essential services, inclusive public spaces, and a connection with nature.
WHY A COMMUNITY CENTRE?
Community Centres have been there for over 50 years and play an important role in development of Delhi as a city, but currently there has been a decline of the quality of space they provide to the residents and some even have their retail spaces shut down.
PROGRAMME DISTRIBUTION
Hawkers and parking on pedestrian pathway
SITE LOCATION
Site is located in the residential area of Paschim Vihar, New Delhi, India which offers formal and informal residential users.
Why This Site ? In the proximity of site, there are 8 different plots proposed for community centre but only 1 site has been developed due to which there is a shortage of planned commercial spaces.

For almost thirteen years, Syria has been bleeding due to a combination of wars and natural disasters. These relentless conflicts have scarred Syria’s socio-cultural fabric, leaving millions homeless and displacing countless families. The sense of safety and place that once anchored these families has been shattered.
So, the project focuses on designing a community that thrives on social engagement and unity, providing a haven where people can rebuild their lives and regain their sense of belonging. By focusing on enhancing life quality and utilizing open spaces, the community will promote interaction, community farming, and a greener environment.

HOUSING
The housing introduces a simple way of planning which focuses on providing open spaces and reducing solar heat gain without increasing the cost of the building. Following the design of the 1 BHK units, the 2 BHK housing also follows a similar concept, emphasizing efficient use of space while maximizing the available area on each floor.

Ukraine is facing immense devastation due to the ongoing war, which has severely impacted cities, leaving countless homes, schools, markets, and hospitals in ruins. This widespread destruction has disrupted the lives of millions, creating an urgent need for redevelopment to help people regain stability.
This project focuses on the reconstruction of a high school that was destroyed in the conflict, with the goal of helping students resume their education. The design aims to create an engaging and interactive environment that fosters social interaction among students. It also prioritises vibrant play areas and social interaction to help alleviate the psychological trauma of the war, offering students a space to de-stress and heal.

Interest + Works outside of Architectural Design
HAND CUT-PHYSICAL MODEL
I also created several physical models for different projects at Studio Juggernaut. These models were hand-cut and crafted using waste model-making materials. This hands-on experience enhanced my skills in model-making and gave me a deeper understanding of translating design concepts into tangible forms.
