Projects
This collection showcases my academic work from both my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Architecture, exploring diverse design challenges and innovative spatial solutions.
The Promenade
Proposed as the East Coast office for the National Building Institute in Kensington, this project centers around “The Promenade”—a defining architectural and experiential feature. Designed to provide both tranquility and engagement, the building’s south-facing layout offers a peaceful retreat from the adjacent train station. The promenade, a long open lobby and exhibit space, fosters exploration and connection while seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor experiences.The first floor hosts exhibit and event spaces, opening to a vibrant outdoor area, while the second floor houses the policy center in a quieter setting. Framing diverse outdoor experiences, the design features a rain garden, social courtyard, and serene retreat. Using CLT panels, Glulam structure, and mixed wood-metal siding, the project balances warmth, durability, and modernity.
Holiday Village
India, it has been aptly said lives in villages. With the rural economy of India, primarily depending on agriculture, establishing an alternative income opportunity is the need of the day. The ever intriguing and fascinating countryside of India puts forward an obvious solution in the form of ‘Rural Tourism’. The motive of this Thesis topic is to retain the character of villages in India and this led to the concept of ‘HOLIDAY VILLAGE’ as a design solution.
The monument of growth
The proposed monument celebrates UMD’s 167 years legacy and transformation from its original college of agriculture into a diverse institute comprising 12 interconnected schools. designed as a inside out structure, a central column symbolizes the foundational college, extending outward through 12 pillars connected by a dynamic Hexagonal-block canopy. the arrangement emphasize unity, growth, and interdisciplinary connection, offering human scale interactive seating spaces. The canopy strategic mix of solid and hollow blocks introduces ample natural light, highlighting university’s dynamic evolution and creating an inviting, interactive environment.
THE DIALOGUE with Old Medina
The project is located in Tetouan, Morocco. “Dialogue with Old Medina” is a project shaped by urban analysis, centered on a transitional street linking the historic Old Medina and the modern Ensanche. The design responds to this context by fostering a meaningful connection between the two. A key influence is the preserved corner of the old city wall, which informs the building’s orientation and initiates a spatial dialogue. A 12’ x 14’ grid structures the layout, placing public functions like a café/tearoom near the Medina for accessibility, while semi-private uses like a daycare and office support residential units deeper within the site.An on-site fragment is retained as a symbolic entrance, reinforcing continuity and memory. As the building rises, it steps back to form terraces that serve as communal spaces and enhance the built-open space relationship. Upper levels house residences with shared areas like co-working zones to foster community.Drawing from Terrafin Street, a pergola-inspired shading system defines the public realm.
Zonal Headquarters of Bank
The main objective of the design was to create an office building that offers a comfortable and creative environment for employees. The design focused on several key aspects. First, the building was envisioned to be massive and visually dominant, making a strong impression on passersby. Second, the integration of built and unbuilt spaces was prioritized to ensure a seamless connection with nature, enhancing the overall work atmosphere. Lastly, a central open space was created to bring in natural light and ventilation while connecting different parts of the building through passages and corridors.
Art Gallery
This was an abstract design assignment from my first-year studio. We were given a painting and tasked with extruding its prominent lines to create a plan. I envisioned the space as an art gallery, incorporating a mix of solid and perforated walls to create dynamic light and shadow effects. The walls were extruded to varying heights, adding depth and spatial variation.
Artwork
This section features a collection of physical models and hand-drawn sketches created throughout my architecture journey. While the models showcase explorations in form, space, materiality, and design concepts developed during my studies, the sketches reflect my personal passion for drawing and creative expression beyond academics.
