.DOME OF LIGHT

Airport in Udaipur is a striking fusion of traditional and modern architectural elements, inspired by the city’s rich heritage. The roof features an array of interconnected domes, reflecting the region’s iconic palaces and temples while evoking the natural curves of the surrounding Aravalli hills. These domes are intricately perforated, allowing natural light to filter through in a dynamic play of shadows and patterns, creating a serene and ever-changing interior environment. The design incorporates sustainable elements, such as passive cooling, rainwater harvesting, and solar energy, to reduce environmental impact. Materials like locally sourced stone, sustainable wood, and glass blend harmoniously with the region’s aesthetic while enhancing passenger comfort and flow. This architectural marvel not only serves as a modern aviation hub but also symbolizes Udaipur’s cultural richness and forward-thinking spirit, offering travelers an immersive experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation.

02 . AQUA HEIGHTS

Aqua Heights is a landmark mixed-use building in Delhi, blending retail spaces and office environments with a striking and sustainable design. Its signature feature is the façade, adorned with blue photovoltaic (PV) panels arranged in a dynamic honeycomb pattern, symbolizing innovation and eco-consciousness while generating renewable energy.

The building’s layout incorporates a high-street retail concept, opening into a vibrant central courtyard that fosters interaction and engagement. The courtyard serves as a hub of activity, connecting retail and office spaces while allowing natural light and ventilation to permeate the structure. Aqua Heights exemplifies a modern, sustainable, and community-focused approach to urban design.

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN 4

The upper-floor office spaces are designed for privacy and functionality, segregated from the traffic below. Balconies and refuge spaces are integrated to enhance both aesthetics and usability, providing employees with outdoor areas for relaxation.

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN 3

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN 2

A central atrium allows natural light to penetrate deep into the offices, creating a bright and airy atmosphere while maintaining a connection to the outside. The design seamlessly blends privacy, comfort, and access to daylight, ensuring an ideal work environment.

TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN 1

The retail space features a central open courtyard with a fountain as its focal point, surrounded by shops and a food court offering clear views of the courtyard. Designed with a high street concept, the ground level is seamlessly aligned with pathways, ensuring easy accessibility for differently-abled individuals. The layout promotes interaction, visibility, and a vibrant user experience.

Refuge spaces were transformed into balconies and garden areas by recessing the floor plate inward. The overhanging upper floor plate provides natural shading, enhancing usability and comfort while blending safety and aesthetics seamlessly.

The building’s form was tilted to optimize sunlight exposure. This adjustment allows for natural daylighting.

To manage the potential heat gain resulting from intense solar radiation on the SW and SE facades, a design integration solution might entail

This dual approach not only addresses the building’s energy requirements but also contributes to its environmental performance by optimizing thermal comfort and reducing carbon footprint.

One approach could involve incorporating shading devices such as pergolas, trellises, or retractable awnings over the courtyard area. These shading structures can be strategically positioned to filter sunlight and create a comfortable outdoor environment while still allowing for natural light and ventilation.

Based on the radiation analysis indicating that the southwest (SW) and southeast (SE) facades receive the highest solar radiation. By incorporating PV panels into these sun-exposed facades, the building can efficiently capture solar energy and convert it into electricity.

Double-glazed walls offer improved insulation against heat transfer, helping to minimize heat infiltration from direct sunlight and enhancing the building’s overall energy efficiency.

Additionally, vegetation such as trees or climbing plants could be introduced to provide natural shading and enhance the

Community Resilience Centre in Sikkim

The Community Resilience Centre in Sikkim harmoniously blends traditional and modern architectural techniques, creating a space that celebrates local culture while addressing contemporary needs. The design incorporates the vernacular architectural style of Sikkim, featuring sloping roofs, timber detailing, and locally sourced stone. Traditional courtyard spaces form the heart of the center, fostering a sense of community and connection.

Modern structural techniques ensure the building is resilient to natural disasters, reflecting its purpose as a safe haven for the community. Open and adaptable spaces encourage communal activities, cultural gatherings, and skill-building programs, reinforcing the center’s role as a hub for resilience and togetherness.
