Studio Design
It is a live project. A
balcony in an apartment was
converted into a drum
studio.
IT Park
This project deals with
designing of maximum three
office towers, along with
the public areas, service
areas and parking
requirements.
The challenge is to design
structurally stable, well
functioning and
aesthetically appealing
towers.
College Campus:
Challenge in this project was to build a
college campus on a given actual
contoured site in Coorg. The site consists
of coffee plantation which had to be
retained as much as possible. Couple of
site visits were done, which included Myra
Business School, Mysore. The forms of the
buildings were derived from circle to
create interactive spaces at the same time
exposed to nature. Each unit was placed
factoring local climate, site contours,
existing site features and sun direction.
Hotel Design
An actual heritage site was given for this project.
Site visit was done to capture the minute details
of ruins and structures. Hotel design was
created based on heritage theme and was
carefully done to include the ruins of an old
temple and other structures.
Housing Colony
Project involved designing of layouts
where LIG, MIG and HIG can co-exist
yet live their life style independently.
Case studies were done to understand
the life styles of each of these
categories. The public place included
shops, school, gallery and
administrative building.
Junior School
Shape of the buildings were designed
to depict the life of a flower from a
bud to fully blossomed stage
symbolizing growth of a child from
Montessori to Std V.
Bachelor’s House:
Project designed with a theme
representing “flight” first step
towards stepping into career ladder
by choosing abstract form of bird.
Restaurant
Project concept was a “boat” that
blends well with the given site
surrounded by water body.
Paintings and sketches
Transit Hub
This project deals with the
movement of BMTC buses,
KSRTC buses, private
vehicles and other public
transport vehicles.
Organizing them around a
built platform ensuring
smooth functioning and
flow of traffic throughout
the site was the challenge
in the design.
Sports Shop (interior design project):
This project deals with designing of maximum
three office towers, along with the public areas,
service areas and parking requirements.
The challenge is to design structurally stable,
well functioning and aesthetically appealing
towers.

The site proposed for IT Park is
along Racecourse Road, Bangalore.
26.9acres of area on racecourse
land is marked out for the IT Park.
The site is situated along 2 major
roads, Racecourse Road and
Sheshadri Road.
The project was to design an IT Park
of maximum 3 towers with 30 floors
each.
There are 3 types of offices:
Small Office (300-500sqm)
Medium Office (800-1000sqm)
Large Office (1000-1200sqm)
Project Requirements:
3 Towers- 30 floors each (max)
Helipad on atleast one tower
3 Basements
Podium
MLCP (Multilevel Car Park)
Clubhouse
Sports Area
Research and Development Area
Training Area
Conference Halls and Exhibition
Halls
Food Courts and Restaurants
CONCEPT:
Keeping in mind the location of the
site, its shape and the surrounding
major roads on all sides, a radial
type of organization is best suitable
for the design.
The 3 towers are hoisted radially
onto an organic shaped podium.
Many open spaces are left to
greenery.
The buildings use green technologies
to maintain sustainability.
Byelaws:
Total Site Area: 106000sqm
FAR: 3
Ground Coverage: 45%
Total Floor Area: 9937.5sqm
Setbacks: 16m
Site Plan:
Entrance from the racecourse
Road.
Minimum vehicular roads.
Lots of open spaces with neat
landscaping.
Helipad connects the 3 towers.
MLCP of 10 floors, mostly used
by visitors.
Sports area is at a lower level.
Provision for rainwater
harvesting.
Service Entry from Sheshadri
Road.
Service road runs all along the
boundaries.
Concept:
The secondary wall is
made of aluminum panel
and 2 glass panels. It is
connected to the
concrete slabs with the
help of a metal mesh.
Warm air rises through
the mesh leaving cool air
circulating in the rooms.
This way, there is optimum
usage of air conditioners
leading to energy
conservation.
The main entrance of the podium
opens into a triple height
reception and lobby area with
courtyards beyond it.
There is another entrance from
the bus bay for those travelling
via company buses.
A lift core in the center of the
podium runs through the 3
floors of the podium.
Courtyards radially spread out
from the lift core, creating
pathways leading to the entrance
lobbies of the 3 towers.
One path leads to the auditorium.
The tower lobby opens into 1, 2
or 4 offices depending on
whether the floor consists of
large, medium or small office
respectively.
Area of each floor: 2500sqm
Every office consists of 4x4m
workstations, 3x2m cabins,
conference rooms of minimum
6x4m, pantry, service areas,
toilets, rest areas and fire exits.
After every 10 floors, a bridge
connects all the 3 towers.
The bridge is not only a medium of
connectivity but also helps bind
the towers, increasing its
stability and strength against
the forces of nature.
TRANSIT HUB DESIGN, BANGALORE
Site Area: 20000sqm
Location: Devanahalli Highway
Project Requirements:
Space for buses:10 BMTC, 20 KSRTC
GF- Lobby, Offices, Canteen, Waiting
Lounge, Bus Depot, Toilets, Kiosks,
Shops
First Floor- Guest Rooms, Driver’s
Room, Shopping Area, Toilets
SITE PLAN:
U-Shape entrance driveway guided by palm trees and fountains along it;
with landscaping in the center.
Pedestrian platforms on either side of the driveway with auto stand on
one side and taxi stand on the other.
Curved platform for the BMTC buses.
The building form is an interesting organic shape with courtyards in the
center for lighting and ventilation.
Large tree columns with glass cutouts support the translucent roofs
and is aesthetically appealing.
A 24 acres contoured site in Coorg
was selected for designing a
college campus. The site consisted
of cliffs, valley with a river flowing
through it terminating in a water
catchment, gentle slopes and coffee
plantation.
Keeping the site features and
climate of Coorg in mind a college
campus was designed.
The Buildings were curved in shape
so that one side gets a large viewing
range and the other side becomes
the interactive junction.
The flow of spaces from one department to the other is very
simple, following the curve of the buildings, facing the main
courtyard in the center.
Cantilevered blocks, Stepped arrangements and the shapes of the
blocks creating courtyard within them make way for light and
ventilation.
Varying levels in the design create
melody and rhythm, making the
spaces interesting to go through.
Each space has its own unique
identity giving the user an
experience of its own.
The flow of spaces from one department to the other is very
simple, following the curve of the buildings, facing the main
courtyard in the center.
Cantilevered blocks,Stepped arrangements and the shpaes of the
blocks creating courtyard within them make way for light and
ventilation.
The UG block is the largest block.
Water body flows around a circular room in the center of the
block.
This can be viewed from all the floors from the corridors.
The corridors are suspended in all floors creating small light
wells which help in ventilation in the interiors of the building.
Recreational Block
One side faces the forest and the other side faces the central
courtyard.
First 2 floors are divided into 2 blocks with a courtyard in the
center.
Bridges connect
The library does not sit on the blocks. The only means of
support is by large long columns rising from the courtyard.
Clear storey windows provide light to the interiors.
Curved Stepped Structure having
green roof.
Opens out into the main courtyard on
one side and outdoor recreational
activities on the other side.
The restaurant is along the man made
lake.
The lake can be viewed from all the
terrace gardens.

Bachelor’s Bangalore:
Requirements:
Living room
Kitchen
Dining
Toilet
Bedroom
Car Park
Concept:
A bachelor’s life is full of anxiety, hope, freedom
and struggle.
It is the first step he takes towards independence.
“it is the run up he takes before the flight”.
This concept can be well made out in the form of the
house. The house takes up an abstract shape of a
bird symbolizing flight.
Plan
Restaurant Design:
The restaurant is designed in such that it responds well
to the site features. The site has water body
surrounding it on all four sides. There are bamboo
groves beyond the water body.
Concept:
The form of the restaurant is like an inverted boat
having a bamboo roof.
The interiors of the restaurant are also done using
bamboo and glass.
Large Glass windows are provided to achieve maximum
view. The dining experience is meant to give the feeling of
a boat sailing on the waters.
