Co-living housing
Bluffton, SC, USA
Pride in the sense of community is in the roots of the
city. Bluffton as a whole is about tourism, beauty,
culture and high quality of life.
The intent of the project is to design an affordable
co-living complex that is engaging for all age groups
and have public areas for interaction with the city
of Bluffton as well.

VALUE
The human and behavioral study
helped me understand the composition
of different areas.
The connection between the outdoor
and indoor, private and public, formal
and informal spaces are drawn between
the units and the communal areas
Work/walk/open spaces
Using various strategies like orienting
broad building surfaces away from the
hot western sun, only NS exposures
are easily shaded & For passive solar
heating, face most of the glass area
south to maximize winter sun exposure,
but design overhangs to fully shade in
summer helped tackle the climate. Community/Rejuvenate

Making the community self-sustained so that it is

PROGRAM -
Designing an Interpretation center for the Karle caves - a masterpiece of rock cut
cave architecture has helped me understand how to zone public spaces and design
an efficient place that will entertain the public and also serve the purpose.

This area is usually attened by senior citizens which gave me the challenge to work
with ramps and make areas that ensured the rest and safety of visitors.

Connecting the whole C-shapes form for funnel Using geodesic style with
contoured site using ramp effect the rcc dome. Ensuring
daylight to enter building
 VALUE

space for cultural knowledge,

GOAL

To design a free flowing design

where all age groups would be
comfortable in all parts of the site
easily and take full advantage of all
the provided activities and areas.
To create spaces that portray the
history of Karle caves in a way that
is interactive and workshop areas
for different student groups.

Studio Apartment
Mumbai, MH, India

Designing this apartment helped me understand the requirements and the luxury one
might need inside a home that is also his workplace. According to the client, being
an event manager his requirements included a storage/showcase of all his sets and
models, a workplace and a meeting area, pantry and wardrobe.

MOOD BOARD -

COLOR CHOICE PALETTE -

I have tried understanding Georgian style of interiors and inculcating it in my design. A pantry that
can be accessed in a unique way from all spaces, a spiral staircase that leads to a luxurious
bed space which has a vast wardrobe and a resting space on the other side by the window.

It is a free flowing design with a color combination of dark timber and grey shades forming
a bachelor’s solitude.
