2. Single-Family Home
Surrounded by muted textures and bold geometry, various levels of interaction define the house, the sit-out with large openings on one wall and a projected balcony on the other. The pool on the terrace with an acrylic bottom adds a layer of drama, but the rough grain floor textures of the basalt stone and muted flutes on the wall with wooden frames craft the space as warm and intimate.

The project is a 70-75 room commercial development in a lush green setting overlooking the hills in Kasauli featuring an Infinity pool w/ flowing cascade, double height banquet, and tree houses. The idea is to use sustainable and user-oriented design strategies following the traditional Kaathkuni style of Architecture to make the economically viable design true to its context.

4. Gatherings in the Times of Social Distancing | Architectural Visualisation Competition
The illustration was an entry for the Architectural visualization competition ‘Gatherings in the Times of Social Distancing’ to answer the larger question of ‘Could Architecture and Design facilitate dedicated artistic experiences that allow for a true connection with the art forms in times like these?
This illustration is a radical experiment to rethink the fort spaces once dedicated to such performances and public gatherings. The Fort spaces can be lent to the Performing artists to showcase their acts while assigning columns, arches, jharokhas, and window openings to the audiences ensuring a safe distance, confirming safety protocols, and making these spaces accessible to the public.
