About
I am a fresher architect with 1 year of experience working in Delhi at Anagram Architects. My passion about computational design and technological innovations is majorly driven by my interest in the future of architecture and thus in the application of technology for innovative and sustainable architecture. My recently acquired skills in BIM and computational design allow me to approach desig n not only through aesthetics but also to enhance efficiency, now helping me to focus on interoperablity, data management and automation, more than ever.
Committed to lifelong learning, I aim to contribute my skills to a design firm that prioritizes innovation, societal impact and is ready to build for the ‘future’ through advanced, environmentally conscious designs. Let’s build a future where architecture embodies technological progress and sustainable practices thus building a future ‘NOW’.

Spine Project
Type : Mixed Use Skyscraper
Project Type : Novatr Spine Project
Location : Melbourne, Australia
This project incorporates all the learnings of the curriculam made by Novatr for the course of Master Computational Design. This includes Basics of Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, Dynamo and PyRevit, data structures, parametric form, rhino for professional practice, Lunchbox, Wallacei, GhPython, BIM Programming, Rhino-Revit interoperability and Revit API.
This is a case study project that showcases the ability to use advanced parametric operations in Rhino, Revit and Grasshopper. The Spine Project is an adaptation to Unstudio’s project “South Bank Tower” in Melbourne, Australia.

Anjuna Villa
Type : Housing Project
Project Type : Office Project
Location : Goa, India
This project is a high end luxury villa housing project that is situated in Goa, India. Currently this is on the sanction stage. The brief from the client suggested to use the plot for a 14-15 high end luxury villa. They wanted to have living area as a big party area with 4-5 bedrooms.
The site was rich with views on either of the longer sides of the plot. A curved sloping roof was selected as in the byelaws a sloping roof was mandatory to be provided in which the eaves of the roof cannot be more than 9m from the ground level. Thus we decided to shift the living room and kitchen to the basement.
Site Area = 3,778 sqm = 40666 sqft
Permissible Ground Coverage = 40% = 1511.2 sqm = 16266 sqft
Permissible Height = 12m
Permissible F.A.R. = 0.8
Permissible Built-up= 3022.4 sqm

Urban Eye
Type : Pavillion
Project Type : Novatr Foundational Studio
Project
Location : -
Urban Eye is a foundational studio project of Novatr. It focuses on combining the learnings from Foundational studio with all the basics.
Urban Eye is a pavillion that provides shades on its higher ends for people to gather and sit and enjoy the dynamicity and serenity while enjoying the company of their friends in the open daytime cafe. On its lower ends it forms an interactive amphitheatre for children and adults alike to enjoy the playful curvature form.

Socio-Cultural Center
Type : Public Project
Project Type : Cultural Center
Location : Delhi, India
Indian art forms are losing limelight to the Western influence and thus there is an urgent need for people to understand the importance of local art and culture for its revival. The objective of a cultural center is to promote cultural values among the members of the communities. A Socio-Cultural center is a functional community center that aims to encourage art practices and provide facilities for the promotion of cultures such as theatres, galleries, venues for musical performances, workshop areas, educational facilities, technical equipment, and meeting spaces. Site is located at a prime location in Rohini, New Delhi. Though it is located far from Central Delhi, it is present at the center of North West District of Delhi.
Total Site Area- 44,977 Sq.mt
Permissible Built Area- 56,136 Sq.mt
FAR - 1.27
Max. Permissible Height- 25.8 mt.
Max. Permissible Ground Coverage- 50% of the total plot area
Parking- 2ECS/100 Sq.mt
View from Plaza
Site area - 44077 sqm; Ground Coverage 50 %; MOS Front 15m;Sides 9m
Creating a mass to incorporate cultural & commercial activites
Formation of Courtyard for better natural light and circulation. These courtyards form Public spaces for people to interact and communicate
Further opening up the cultural component for better pedestrian movement and visual connection guiding the visitor further in the site. Lifting the ground floor up in commercial as well as cultural component for openness in area to encourage visitor movement.
Creating OAT at the periphery and merging it with the landscape. Division and formation of Public Plaza to separate commercial & cultural component
Formation of skybridge to connect the 2 cultural components.

The facade has been inspired by the grandeur of curtains. Besides being a crucial part of theatres, the curtains give a sense of grand entry to the interior of the cultural center. Undulating facade design makes it possible such that it allows drapping at the entrances .
Interior Courtyard houses a large perforated canopy supported by massive timber tree columns to compliment the earthy nature of the inner courtyard. Taking users back to the initial roots. Form has been inspired by the fluidity of organic nature, also representing futuristic ideas and is easy on the eyes of the onlookers.
