EVOLUTION OF PLAN-FORM
The light colored brick wall was has high
reflectance and thus getting lower solar heat gain,
making use of Albedo effect. Also all the built forms
were completely surrounded by plantation on all
sides except for entry/exit .
The courtyards also had plantation at ground level
and had a transition bridge at both ground and first
floor level. The hipped tiled roof with overhang
eaves is provided as an element of vernacular
design that will provide more buffer space in the
space in ceiling during extreme weathers.

SECOND RENAISSANCE
The aim was to design a computer school with vernacular
climate responsive approach to achieve optimum human
comfort level with minimum expense of energy in a long
run. The site was spread over 15 acres. The computer
institute was placed on the rear side of the plot which was
close to a lake, so as take benefit evaporative cooling.
While doing the site planning the admin block being
public block was placed in front, followed by academic
block. Recreation block was placed on the rear side so
that the block also had an overlooking view of the lake.
Each block especially the academic blocks was designed so
as to take benefit of prevailing south westerly wind. All
the walls that were on external side or courtyard side
were used for fenestration for natural ventilation.
Courtyard was designed in all the blocks especially to get
proper ventilation and passive solar cooling effect during
summers; courtyard effect. All the window fenestration
had overhanging projection and vertical fins for sun-
shading during summers.

10. Typical classrooms had two types of seating, student could do their
own study or sit for the lecture. The arc seating and table are
designed mainly to provide freedom of thoughts .
The typical academic block lobby was designed for an area
with hustle bustle of students. The art work being displayed on
the free-standing boards in the lobby near the window wall .
The staircase was also planned to be used by students for
sitting apart from circulation. The arc shaped seating is where
student can sit and chit-chat, the arc shape slowly transforms
in the flooring design. Floorings are all concrete finish and
hence pops of vibrant yellow color is used through wall,
furniture, etc Even the court-yards are interesting spaces with
plantation and seating. The central courtyards of the academic
blocks were planned so as to have covered bridge at first and
second level. These bridges were to be used as common
passages and were also used to display artwork during some
day exhibitions.

ARIES- 3 ACRES FINEST LIVING HOME GATED COMMUNITY
This was my first project as an Architect wherein I designed the entire
project. The ARIES Master Plan was spread over nearly 3 acres of lush
landscape and houses were organized along a tree-lined avenue.
These East and West-facing contemporary homes were designed to
optimize natural light and ventilation and bring the ‘outside’ in! This
was achieved mainly through the ‘C’ shaped plan. The designs were
classy and contemporary.

avenue villas were planned with an intent to keep every family at
different level.
The model were also made up mainly for client
15. THE EMPYREAN CLUBHOUSE, BANGALORE
The site was spread over 7 acres in the suburb of Bangalore,
India. I was involved in the design detailing, construction
documentation process of the project.
Working under the principal architect, I was handling the entire
co-ordination with all the consultants involved, including
structural, PHE the site engineers. The project had its own
complication with long cantilevers and sloped roof for rain
water storage. When it was designed, it was the largest club-
house in Bangalore.
