BHALGAT RESIDENCE

Professional - Freelance

Bhalgat Residence is a single family residence for multi generational living in a city named Pune in India.

The house is divided into an open public space for the family on the first level with private spaces like bedrooms placed on the upper levels. A central courtyard binds the entire house together while also allowing for light and ventilation into the structure.

Role and responsibility:-

Elevation design, construction drawing set.

The dining room is a double height space with large openings for plenty of light and air circulation. This space is given such importance since its a special area for the family to spend time together.

The house is built around a courtyard which forms the heart of the structure. It is meant to connect all the spaces around it physically or visually such that each member has a private space but a collective public space as well.

ISKCON ECOLOGICAL COMPLEX

Bricolage Bombay

Iskcon is a global community which is devoted to the worship of Lord Krishna. The community has multiple temple complexes which is flooded with people around the year.

This particular site is located in Talasari, Gujarat, 2 kilometers off the main highway. The 32 acre plot

already has a temple along with a Gaushala (cowshed) which is home to over 200 cows. The brief of the project was to re-locate the temple and provide additional amenities to convert the site from a quiet land to an Ecological Complex which can harbor not only devotees but also tourists and visitors.

Supervising architect :- Vinit Nikumbh

Role and responsibility:-

Concept, design development, drawings, 3D modeling, presentations, physical models.

The road from the center has been cut off to prevent vehicles and trucks to pass from the central axis. A back service road has been introduced.

Part of land adjacent to the cowshed reserved for cows.

The footprint of the structures has been kept minimal to maximize the open space around the structures. A forest has been planned to serve as a barrier between the temple zone and service road. The parking area has been provided right at the entry to reduce vehicular movement within the site and promote walking and cycling.

This part of the site is reserved for a Vedic school which will help in the development and upliftment of the people living around the site.

The position of the main entry gate has been shifted to align it to the East axis. The Amphitheater is proposed inside the dried up artificial pond. This eleminated the need to fill the pond with earth.

FROM TRANSIT ROUTES TO COMMUNITY ROOTS

Masters - University of British Columbia

The project intends to imagine the future of Brighton Village in the City of Burnaby as a self sustaining Urban Village.

The proposal envisions the required densification to support the projected growth of the city and to accommodate the future residents of this area who decide to migrate here while still trying to maintain the livability.

The design also considers the impact of the latest Transit Oriented Development motion on the Production Way Sky Train Station situated at the heart of this establishment.
