Exhibiting inventure technique, the Bangar Group Housing is directed not by aesthetics guidelines but is meant to investigate harmonious design thought in a limited space. Crafted for an ultimate living experience, the building imparts a distinctive character to enhance a cozy and untroubled space which in turn is situated in a limited site area. Accounted for an impeccable living experience, the complex incorporates studio apartments, 1BHK and 2BHK along with the basic amenities desired by its denizens.
This was a competition entry where we were judged the runners up. The process of design was an exploration in the field of sport psychology. The excitement of an arena, the experience of an audience, the showcasing of a sport, and the live of a budding sportsman, all was put together to achieve an integrated planning and a landmark form. Some of the ideas generated during the competition, became forerunners in our later designs of similar projects.
Implementing a constructivist-based design, the Police Memorial fosters understanding among the members of its community that they represent. Facilitating through a dynamic relationship, it transmits a range of expected messages to its visitors. Enveloped over a lawn by adjacent parking, the memorial is channeled with a change in terrain that creates an uncertain experience and directs viewers’ eyes downwards. There they become aware of the texture on the floor which is layered with words etched into the uncertain terrain. They are laid in a direction that has inexorable link to the highly visible touchstone wall which in turn is the focal point of the experience. Emerging back over the terrain, the visitor is aware of the contributions of police force and of the fall to the community.
No trip to India can be complete without a visit to Qutb Minar. The tower is not only the finest monument in India but also in the world. Though its origin is shrouded in controversy, it is a platform of rich traditions and cultural diversity. Stopped over by a number of excursionists, the site is often left unexplored. To exaggerate the stop over, an interpretation center was proposed. To carry this out, the existing structure of Dak Bunglow, which is close to the complex, was restored as per its original design keeping in view its significance. There upon, all the interventions were done in contemporary idiom so as to distinguish between the “old” and the “new”.
As part of the Dolphin project for ILFS, Fairwood Consultants assigned the task of building the Convention Centre to us. The building was inspired by a crystal of salt.
