Paved plans and a quincho were designed to create a landscape-friendly kitchen window.

The Khosla couple sought a house reflecting their lifestyle and sustainability. The large plot size was a challenge, but the design by Forumadvaita resembled a southwest-facing cocoon, offering multiple experiences. The 90-foot depth created a wall around the periphery, while diagonal routes and framed openings enhanced the unfolding experience. Services like toilets and wardrobe spaces were positioned on the front side, while recessed openings and facade controlled natural light. The hollow cube of the upper-level verandah and square openings allowed planes to interact with protruding boxes. Brick cladding added context to the house.

In Domda Religious Community Center designed by ARPA Design, the central court is an open space enveloped by three masses – the ‘Yagyashala’ on the southern side, dining and living facilities on the northern side and an administrative and service block on the eastern side. The most crucial aspect taken into consideration while designing was the scale of the building which is weaved homogeneously with its context. The decision of the building to blend yet slightly contrast the context was consciously taken.

Studio Toggle’s design of the Luminous Drapes Pavilion stemmed from a desire to create a lightweight, soft and malleable space habitable in different ways. The pavilion was meant to be colonized based on the activities that it will accommodate. These activities were analyzed and broken down into anthropometric parameters.
