The Champalimaud Foundation expanded its Cancer Research Centre in Lisbon into a pancreatic cancer hospital, 14 years post-construction by architect Charles Correa. Sachin Agshikar, Correa’s associate, led design alongside HDR and local architect Joao Nuno Laranjo.
Designed by Sachin Agshikar Architects: The site for this little lab building is situated on the Eastern border of Goa, in the middle of a cement factory campus. This factory, towering above the surrounding grey and dusty industrial area, had an intimidating scale. The huge mountains of raw material, the smoke, the steel structures, workers covered with fine cement powder, and the energy with which the machines worked effortlessly, was an unforgettable sight.
A fairly large apartment with four bedrooms was converted into 3 BHK and a den. This was the first time we had met a client who already had a huge collection of paintings, lamps, and interesting artifacts from all over Europe. So all we had to do was to prepare a simple canvas to display his collection.
This was an office designed for an advertising firm called Flagship. The entire volume which had around 14’ height was painted white. Green their signature colour, was introduced subtly in the form of cushion covers, dividers for workstations and palms.
This post gives information on a winery which is located in the valleys of Nasik by Sachin Agshikar Architects. The final proposal was also to have an Experience Lounge on top of the hill along with library, shop and office space. But the project is only 25 % completed to date.
The house sits on a linear stretch of site that measures 40’X1000′, facing the beautiful beach near Chiplun. The site also witnessed a large growth of betel nut and coconut trees, which were distanced at every 8′.
Blame it on our fast-paced and rapidly changing lives and chaos at every step, that we forget to see around and miss out on the beauty that surrounds us. Sachin Agshikar, an architect based in Mumbai, through these four videos talks about the importance of learning to see and appreciate the beauty in simple things.
