It’s not often that one gets to design a home for fellow architects/creatives, and even less often that the design involves mindful details for their pets.

and had a clear vision for the design of their home to blend memories, functional comfort and aspirations. The resultant is a grounded space that enables slow rituals for them and their cats,

Most of the furniture is from their pre-owned collection- either inherited or from their previous homes, while the new ones designed are done considering these existing pieces.

A century old bookshelf anchors the living space- the new partition in stained ply forms a backdrop that enables the lighting services for the exposed slab while offering additional space for art/ books/knickknacks, as well as providing a dignified enclosure from the entry foyer.

A blue wall, a precious remnant from the memories of all their previous homes is the final layer of backdrop that takes in a service window from the kitchen, enabling connection and privacy at the same time.
Minimal interventions are done to enable lighting in the exposed concrete slab.

Genezen Institute of Pharmacy, Delol, Godhra // Architecture // Completed
—

Architectural design for a Pharmacy college in Gujarat is an L-shaped building around a stepped courtyard cascading down a 6 ft natural slope. The longer ‘academic’ arm houses the laboratories and the shorter one houses the administrative spaces. Each space spills onto the verandah around the central courtyard. The courtyard is designed to evolve into landscaped stepped terraces, ultimately terminating into a kund that stores the rainwater.

The ground floor is clad in quarried Godhra grey stone, a material abundantly available in the region, while the upper volume is plastered. Kota stone fins filter the harsh radiation from the west.

Use of Skylights in workspaces

A design proposal, for an office occupying the topmost floor of an existing structure, makes use of skylights to create pause points in the otherwise repetitive work environment.

These skylights are designed to let in indirect light from east and west, thus cutting down the harsh radiation from the top. Skylights over work café, passages and work booths are an expressive pause in the grid of workstations.

We are nearing completion of this large residence in Vapi. The three-storied home has two interlocking double height spaces across two levels. The railings are designed to take in a cylindrical totem that acts as a uplighter, brightening the ceiling of the high volumes.

Sneak peek of a home nearing completion. The master bedroom is a split volume with lounge in the high volume, while low volume with the bed overlooks the river. The stained black veneer with natural teak scales down the volume into a cosy den.
