Kaawi House, designed by Girish Dariyav Karnawat, Architect, is guided by the need to keep the original plan and to preserve the charm of a traditional Kerala house. The finished double-storey house was built with laterite. What started as a renovation turned into a complete architectural intervention with interior design, furniture design, and landscape! It was transformed spatially through restoration, renovation, and addition. A house that was formerly introverted and closed was transformed into an open, airy, and seemingly spacious home.
Girish Dariyav Karnawat, Architect is an architectural practice that follows old-school faith in intimate mediums of inquiry and expression. The questioning is primarily through sketches, drawings, rendering, study models, and so forth. With the incessant questioning at the conceptual stage, through design development and into the meticulous working drawings, the envelope of anticipation is pushed to the farthest possible extents. GDK is a nomad and his works are abodes on a pilgrimage.

House Split, designed by MYVN Architecture, is built in two parts: retaining the site’s natural slope and following the contours. The central courtyard segregates the plan to act as two volumes.

While looking outside from this space one can perceive the moving clouds as though it is moving through the house.

Parques del Rio Medellín (Medellin river park), designed by Cauce Arquitectura Del Paisaje, is born from a need for infrastructure improvement to the national highway that goes through the city, parallel to the river. The local administration saw the project as an opportunity to think beyond engineering and conduct a public competition where the main focus was to combine the highway with public space through the recovery of the city’s waterfront, an idea that had been in the making for 50 years.
Cauce Arquitectura del paisaje is linked to the study and understanding of the territory, finding its topography, landscaping, environment, visual, culture and climate to develop architectural and urban spaces that adapt to physical and ecological conditions, understanding the relationships between the biotic environment and anthropic conditions.
