This post presents a multi-building complex intended for the administration, control, and testing operations of a factory producing organic chemicals. A key aspect of the project is the phased construction approach, which has informed the arrangement of the various blocks. These blocks are intentionally organized to create a substantial central courtyard. This courtyard is envisioned as a verdant and tranquil oasis, offering a respite from the surrounding industrial environment. The transition from the factory to this central court is carefully designed with extensive vegetation, which aims to mitigate the impact of the industrial surroundings through improved air quality and a more pleasant atmosphere. The scale and landscaping are intended to create a significant buffer. Continue reading “Admin Building at Vadodara”

Big Loo – Competition
In Cities people are constantly on the move and travel far & longer from their comfort spaces. The need to refresh and rejuvenate for having a productive and enjoyable day out is a dream for many. India predominantly has a hot climate with humidity ranging from city to city. The need to relieve and refresh is a very basic physical need in such climates. The current situations in our cities, mainly Mumbai is pathetic from point of view of City experience. As a country, we don’t celebrate the outdoors too much and we have now switched to the Mall culture in hope for solace from the hustle bustle of the City.
