01. RESIDENCE PROJECT

LAKESIDE ABODE Architecture Design Studio II Type - Residence Area - 463 sqm Location - Manipal, Karnataka

The bungalow is designed for a joint family of five, including grandparents, parents and a daughter. The design emphasizes on creating distinguished interior spaces tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each family member while maintaining a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing facade.

The concept was to incorporate modern design while maintaining the coziness of a home.

Initial Sketch The initial sketch aims to balance the individual privacy of each member by segregating the public spaces on the ground floor and private spaces on the first to create a harmonious and modern family home.

The site is located just a few metres from the picturesque Manipal Lake. The design aims to provide the family with leisure spaces overlooking the lake. The lake is located north of the residence, which provides perfect views during dusk and dawn without compromising thermal comfort.

02. COMMERCIAL SHOPPING COMPLEX

ASTROWORLD Architecture Design Studio V Type - Commercial Shopping Complex Area - 10500 sqm Location - Mangalore, Karnataka

The design of the shopping complex aims to combine sustainability strategies, modern architecture styles, and neighborhood involvement to create a vibrant and enjoyable shopping experience for its users. The primary facilities within the mall include a multiscreen cinema experience, a large food court, and a variety of shops.

GREEN STRATEGIES Large skylight over the central atrium, reduce the dependency on artificial light

Circular openings on the facade to enable daylight and ventilation

Open air shopping space for the local vendors

Vertical louvres on the west and southern facades.

The site is located on a demolished shopping centre, at the heart of the commercial area of Mangalore. Post demolition, the site has been occupied by local vegetable vendors. The concept was to combine these two sectors and provide spaces that can cater to for a shopping complex as well as for the local vendors. Along with the shopping complex, a separate provision is made within the site to relocate the local vendors.

VENDORS ZONE

SKYLIGHT GREEN ROOF

SOLAR PANELS

Along with the use of louvres, openings, central skylight and green roofing system, landscaping was also looked after throughout the site.

The use of tall trees with dense canopies in outdoor interactive spaces like at the vendors zone.

GREEN BUILDING SIMULATION For climate conscious construction, a green building simulation was carried out using EnviMet, to understand the effect of the building on the urban context. The software uses the three dimensional model of the building with its surroundings to predict how the area would react to the construction of a new building.

The different parameters used for this analysis were wind speed, radiant temperature and relative humidity. To minimise the effects of these climatic parameters, green building strategies were used, like green roof, passive cooling techniques, daylight savings etc.

03. STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTRE

STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTRE Architecture Design Studio VI Type - Institutional Area - 33300 sqm Location - Manipal, Karnataka

The Student Activity Centre is a proposed project within the MIT campus of Manipal Academy of Higher Education. The design aims to combine the existing features of the campus with socially edifying and inclusive spaces to create a holistic student interaction experience.

The site is located inside the MIT Campus and is currently being used as a cricket ground and athletics ground by the students.

Surveys were carried out among the hostel students to find out their needs for a social interactive space.

The proposal was to refurbish the existing features of the area and incorporate the spaces from the student survey analysis.

Use of louvers to minimise heat gain, a stepped pattern is maintained to create an interesting facade.

As the site is located on a stepped contour, the design adapts to the site features to create stepped terraces on each floor. These terraces are on the north direction providing glare free daylight throughout the building.
