The aspiration to be in a service profession which has the ability to shape prominent aspects of our lives, and have a positive impact on the quality of life, is what stimulates me to be an architect.

Witnessing diverse cultures through my travels has expanded my design approach to contribute to a built environment which strongly resonates with its inhabitants.

With emphasis on contextual architecture, I aspire to create functional architecture which engages its users.

THE CONCEPT

This project aimed to capture the essence of a typical South Indian house, in terms of aesthetic and comfort while evoking a sense of familiarity.

Green kota stone, known for its durability and natural look, sweeps the interior and semi-open spaces. The stone inserts add a pop of colour to the space.

Woven light modules to the wooden aesthetic the beige tone of the

modules were selected to adhere aesthetic and also compliment the textured wall finish.

PLAN OF WICKER LIGHTING INSTALLATION

The lighting pattern is indicative of branches of a tree. It was designed to establish a continuous flow and form a connect to the private dining room.

steps were designed to extend the width of the existing steps for purposes while retaining the element of floating levels. Existing sheet chipped into step formation to connect the different levels..

patterns were trialed on site before finalising one appropriate for the space. This was continued on all stepped levels for consistency.

Course rubble stone masonry (CRS) was used for any additional civil work to resonate with the CRS walls of the existing house.

Multiple trials for height adjustments and placements were tested on site for the wicker ceiling light installation.

YEAR : 2023

TYPE : Professional

TYPOLOGY : Residential architecture

LOCATION : Kerala, India

AREA : 805sq.m.

RESPONSIBILITIES : Conceptual plandesign & development, working drawings, 3D modelling and rendering of form explorations

THE AIM

The main focus here was to retain the traditional Kerala house concepts of spatial connections while ensuring the drainage systems were carefully crafted to allow interior spaces to experience the monsoon climate yet be shielded from any hazardous weather conditions.

Ideas for systems of natural air cooling were also explored. The plumbing systems were also designed to be a part of the architectural language of the space by utilising elements such as mild steel gutter rain chains.

THE CONCEPT

Core elements were taken from a typical Syrian Christian Kerala house in terms of materiality and zoning with the client being a Syrian Christian.

Higher heights were explored for living and dining areas as high activity spaces with more occupancy at a single time. Circulation spaces have a continuous lower roof height to be of a more human scale.

The sloping roof characteristic is retained with the exception of the swimming

The sloping roof characteristic was implemented throughout the structure, resulting in an interesting experience of internal spaces.

The elements of the double colonnade general materiality were retained.

Double colonnades were used in the verandah spaces, inspired by traditional Kerala houses; along with the familiar materials of Mangalore roof tiles, wooden glazing frames and Kota stone flooring.

Double colonnades were replaced with single circular steel columns. Sloped roofs were translated into a modern design form with more expansive fenestrations.

THE ARTISAN REVIVAL

TYPOLOGY : Mixed-use Institutional

LOCATION : Nirmal, Telangana, India

AREA : 9,200sq.m.

PROJECT MENTOR : Akshaya

Narsimhan - akshaya.l@cmr.edu.in

THE HISTORY

Dating back to the Kakatiya era, this 400-year-old specialised traditional art was brought to life by the Naqqash craftsmen.

Due to the town’s strategic location connecting North and Central parts of India with the South, the craft landmarked the town of Nirmal on the map.

The softwood toys, attractive paintings and furniture began with depicting figurines from Hindu mythology. Later, the range expanded to birds, animals, fruits and vegetables.

Mobile stands and key chains were added later to remain relevant.

THE NEED

They are now on the verge of extinction due to the development of the international market and a lack of awareness outside of the town’s limits, geographically.

Efforts to keep this industry alive through regular design workshops in collaboration with design schools have had limited response.

THE AIM

• To uplift the local artisan community

• Revive the local toy industry

• Reconnect the public to the art and bring about awareness

AIMS FOR TARGET USERS

THE ARTISANS

• Cater to the needs and comfort

• Provide a communal space for interaction

TOURISTS

• Bring about awareness and aid mark the town on the map again

THE GENERAL PUBLIC

• Reconnect the public to these local toys

• Create communal spaces.

DESIGN LANGUAGE

• Primary colours and wood - imbibe the toys’ main vibrant characteristics.

• Concrete - relates to the transition concrete construction.

• A familiar place for the local people aid to again these comfort for imbibe characteristics. transition to

Sparse vegetation located around the periphery of the site evoked an inward looking design approach.

Open interaction zones and courtyards provided to bridge the user journeys of the artisans and the general public.

The traditional rural culture of gathering and havng communal activities around a tree was taken to have an aspect of familiarity for the local people and the artisans.

• The East side being open to the highway has a strong connection visually and physically, optimal for the main entrance.

• The south side becomes a private entrance for the artisans to segregate the user journey.

THE MASTER PLAN

The design aims to achieve communal spaces of gathering and interaction while providing a functional working environment for the artisans.

To keep the essence of the toy prominent, certain characteristics of the toy were applied also with wooden elements to enhance the appearance and achieve a common architectural language throughout the space.

It also intends to bridge the gap and reconnect with the general public with visually transparent common interaction zones with permeable boundaries.

The circulation paths of the artisans and the general public cross visually on the ground floor, walking through courtyards, so as to have uninterrupted, seamless workflow for the artisans.

On the other hand, there is a physical connection between functions with places of activity, like the canteen, being used to bridge both and create a common ground for interaction.

THE AIM

This project aims to be a platform to bring bike enthusiasts together and bridge the connection and communication between the biker and the maker, targeting cafe racer bikes particularly which deal with modifications of the bike.

FORM IDEATION

The design aims to achieve a seamless integration of contrasting functions and the boundaries between them to form continuous network through the site.

THE MASTER PLAN

Entries from the north-west and south directions allow a glimpse of the main track.

Users enjoy a free flow of circulation from one function to the other, with green pockets acting as transitional interation zones.

Spill out spaces of each individual function engage visually with the main activity core, the race track, located in the comparatively private NE corner.

With the design studio at a mezzanine level overlooking the main workshop, the interaction between the workshop and the studio is strong, enabling a constant connect between the design and the making.

As circulation routes to the track seating area are adjacent to the workshop spaces, various users are connected to the making process, connecting the biker to the maker.

The transitional space between the cafe racers’ plaza and the track area forms an acitivy node where users from the club, workshop and track area spill out and can interact.
