Located in Mangalore, this 3-bedroom apartment is a contemporary take on a traditional south Indian home. The seamless open plan allows a lot of natural light to flood the living-dining-kitchen area. The earthy polished plaster on the wall, the muted tones of the fabric play off the brass set-pieces and wood accents of the furniture making this apartment space with balance and grace.

The design for a small student housing project in the town of Belgaum India explores the section as a device to layer a series of semi private living spaces vertically. What seems like a straight forward division of space in plan is a complex layering of self contained living units to achieve maximum density yet maintain comfortable living standards for the occupants.
Given that the monument sits in a rural setting, its immediate surroundings are not particularly welcoming. In response, we have enclosed the site with a Gabion wall that provides privacy and guides visitors along a “discovery path” leading to the Memory Monument and the photo gallery all situated within a park-like setting. Crafted entirely out of fine metal, the Memory Monument is in the shape of a “kada” (famously worn as lucky charm by Dr. Vishnuvardhan) stands at a daunting height of 10 metres above the level of lower ground.

The site factor played a key role in the design, along with the Reggio-Emilia education approach itself, on which the school is based. – Biome Environmental Solutions
The home is located on the outskirt of Bangalore at the edge of the garden around the park adjoining a lake. Since the plot is a corner one the home is designed so that it can be viewed from both sides. As one walks around the building it reveals its characters, punctured wall with windows of various sizes and hues, telescopic vaults and sloping roofs at jaunty angles. Though located near a lake in the north- it exactly is not a very pleasant view at lower levels since there is also a large stormwater drain flowing at the edge. – Biome Environmental Solutions
The single family residence is an acute index of architectural experimentation, progress, aspirations, ambitions and perhaps even of individual whims and quirks. The design of
The whole building maintains a very human scale with the heights varying from single storey to ground plus two storeys. This place also exudes a certain warmth because of the use of natural materials/elements in its architectural vocabulary.
Stay inspired. Curious.
