AUDRIEL
“Heart’s Sanctuary”
Dubai, UAE
The main challenge was to design a residence for a personality we idolized that not only encompassed all their practical needs but also resonated with their unique personality. This required us to infuse spaces with artistic design and architectural finesse.
‘Audriel’ is the name of an angel who is closely related to emotions. Since this residence is a depiction of an artist and her emotions, the abode was named Audriel.

The renders capture the essence of urban luxury while maintaining an intimate connection to nature through expansive windows that frame breathtaking views of the canal. Each element of the room, from the carefully chosen furnishings to the subtle interplay of textures and materials, has been meticulously curated to evoke a sense of artistic wonder making the project as unique as the artist herself.

Amidst the transformative redevelopment of the Sabarmati River and the burgeoning urban context of Ahmedabad, lay our architectural challenge. Situated within a compact site, encircled by towering structures, and metro station (proposed), in this project we had to design a multi-use high-rise, which must not only excel in its functionality but also epitomize sustainability, embodying the principles of a green building.

The kinetic facade is not only visually striking, but also highly functional. Made and of the sun by closing its ‘fins’ when the harsh rays strike it, and opening it as the rays facade, there was an astounding 60% reduction
Made of translucent fibreglass, it not only enhances energy efficiency but also provides vibrancy.

Delhi is not just a city, it’s a living canvas of history and culture. This project presented us with a challenge to blend with the context, and yet make the Heritage museum stand out . We had experiment with our own designs in many ways to not just make it functional, but also to give it a personality.

Competition
This project was a visionary endeavour that focused on sustainability. We had to create a Net - Zero building under the educational sector. The factors on which our entry would be evaluated in Solar Decathlon India 2022-23 were - energy optimization, carbon emission, water harvesting, waste recycling, structural stability, and cost effectiveness.

In this design we achieved a net-positive water balance. Our strategy included year-round rainwater harvesting, the implementation of a Soil Biotechnology System (SBT) to treat wastewater, and the incorporation of drip irrigation systems. These initiatives, coupled with the use of indigenous plant species, allowed us to fulfil all water demands while maintaining surplus reserves for emergency situations.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
“Empowering creativity, Adapting to future”
AI, often seen as our enemy, is infact a brilliant assistant in the field of architecture. It amplifies the creative process and empowers us with tools that help elevate our designs, making the seemingly impossible possible. The collaboration between human ingenuity and AI innovation is a harmonious symphony, producing architectural wonders that inspire and enrich our lives.
