“I want to create a space that moves people. It doesn’t matter if it is a house, or a museum, or whatever. So, it is somebody sitting on that lawn, just going around and around and feeling really happy. That is something that I’m striving for.”
To me, architecture is more about the process rather than the end result. My design style is a consistent process of learning and re-learning and always connecting architecture with nature. I believe that architecture is a game of light and wind
I am best at co-ordinating between various members of the team and people management. Hard work and consistency are my key qualities. Photography and sketching are things that fascinate me.
Looking forward to new learning encounters, experiences, to explore and strengthen my knowledge in the world of design and architecture

STUDIO : III
PROJECT TYPE : CAFE AND SEGWAY , CYCLE TRANSIT
LOCATION : MANYATA TECH PARK, BENGALURU
INTENT : To build a café along with a Segway, cycle transit . A space for the people who cycle from home ,have the facility to change in this place, freshen up ,park their cycles and rent the Segway to travel within the IT park at their own convenience and time.
Makes it is easy for the people of the addressed community to commute within the IT park
The core approach was to create a cafe that is handy and accessible for the employees and acts as a relaxed co-working cafe along with a transit where people can rent cycle and segways to commute through the IT park and outside as well.
The form of the plan is derived from the shape of a cycle seat which is connected to a wall with niches in order to incorporate light patterns that change throughout the day and create a calming effect

PROJECT
SENSORY ARCHITECTURE
Autistic children have communication difficulties, narrow interests and repetitive behaviour. Early signs of autism might include lack of interest in other people, including lack of eye contact.
Strategies:
-Creating an environment which has a clear and definable program to promote focus and reduce over-stimulation.
-Minimal interior palettes with limited pattern, texture and color.
-The inclusion of calm, quiet spaces such as withdrawal rooms and alcoves for hyper-sensitivity and sensory rooms, esacpe rooms for hypo-sensitivity.
-Reducing glare from external light sources by considering the placement of rooms according to their use and in relation to the building orientation.
-Integration of sensory rooms and gardens, therapy rooms and hydrotherapy to help stimulate individuals who experience hypo-sensitivity to touch.
-Improving the opportunity for increased personal space such as escape rooms, breakout spaces, an opportunity to access a secure external space such as an external courtyard.
-Making the space volumonous to prevent the kids from feeling claustrophobic, integrating vaults or domic shapes

Integration of a central courtyard and sensory garden to stimulate senses of touch and smell for kids.
use of a sensory garden by integrating a sense of touch to help the kids navigate about by touch
Use of smaller openings to prevent too much entry of glare or light which might make the kids uncomfortable
VISUAL CONNECTION THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE MENTORS TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS
