Introduction
VK:a architecture
We have elaborate briefing sessions to understand
the client’s specific needs and preferences. An
internal brainstorming meeting within the team of
architects and designers follows. Based on a well
defined brief, the team creates designs for the
projects and presents multiple options to the client.
Some enlightening debates later, the design is frozen
in light of several parameters.
In this entire process, we not only deliver designs, but
also contribute in conceptualizing the project and go
on to add value where we are convinced the client
would benefit in terms of financials, brand image and
environmental responsibility.

11. Smart Value Homes
Area: >26 Acre
Wadgaon Maval, Pune
This is a huge mixed use development at Talegaon Pune.
It contains residential units for about 1000 middle income
families, allied retail and commercial units as well as an
school and Healthcare complex.
These are marketed as value for money kind of
apartments wherein economical, cost effective and
Eco-responsive construction materials and methods
are used. Urban design of roads and landscape is
also a feature on this site.

12. Indradhanu
Area: >27 Acre
Solapur
Solapur the city having recognition as an Textile City for
its many mills is now on verge of transformation as a
mega city and many new avenues are started opening
up. Owing to this an old mill called Vishnu Mill was
decided to be brought under redevelopment.
Majority of area is designed for affordable housing
and road facing prime land is being developed for
retail and commercial purposes. This whole scheme is
designed on basis of Green building concepts.It is
going to be the landmark development in the heart of
the city, next to the railway station.

13. Golden Sparrow
Area: >3,500 Sq.M
Prabhat Road, Pune
Golden Sparrow makes a statement for itself. Its out of
the box elevation resembles boxes stacked over each
other but are not in a line. The scheme will raise
eyebrows and redefine elite living.
This kind of an elevation has been achieved by paneling
and boxing with use of unconventional materials.. Its
needless to say that is an unique design for creative
people..

14. Blossom Boulevard
Area: 10,000 Sq.M
Koregaon Park, Pune
1 Modibaug
Area: 25,000 Sq.M
Shivaji Nagar, Pune
The site is one of the most sought after high profile
cosmopolitan destinations for residences in Pune.
The challenge for us was to convert a site with three
high-rise structures into a campus encouraging a
purposeful interaction between people and the
immediate environment.
Each floor of the building holds three units arranged in
such manner that each apartment is open from all four
sides and each room gets cross ventilation in addition to
a more than 180 degree view.
It is a luxurious scheme with its frontage on huge
green area of adjoining Agricultural College campus.
All the apartments enjoy the view of thick foliage.

15. Vision One
Area: >40,000 Sq.M
Tathawade, Pune
Vision One is an upcoming Shopping Center in newly
developed area of Tathavade. The complex incorporates
contemporary artistic features such as use of second skin
and shadowing as the spotlight elements of the structure.
Again, its concept is also based on Indian street
shopping, so OPEN MALL is the theme. All the levels are
visible from entrance and the roof is specially designed to
reflect openness. It is going to be one of the liveliest
places in the city to gather or hang out at.

16. Vision 9
Area: >14,000 Sq.M
Pimple Saudagar, Pune
This is a state of the art Shopping Center coming up in
newly developed area of Pimple Saudagar.Its concept is
based on Indian street shopping. Hence the theme of
OPEN MALL
The plot where its privacy & segregation from the
Commercial Area is created by the Residential Tower
providing a safe haven for kids & the elderly alike, away
from the vehicular movement. It will redefine the skyline
of this new happening area.

17. Sahara Stadium
Area: >33 Acre
Gahunje, Pune
Buro Happold Engg pvt Ltd the reputed international
designers were architects for this prestigious stadium
near Pune. They wanted an reputed local Architectural
firm who could do all the working drawings and details
and do site co-ordination.
They came to VK:a and handed over this huge work
which we successfully completed under guidance of
BHEPL. We even appointed permanent site co-ordinators
and architects for this project. The dead line for IPL was
met and we got free passes to witness the action.

18. Bhide Hospital
LB Shastri Road, Pune
Design of Healthcare needs to be sensitively approached
with due attention to safety, accessibility and economy.
Design provisions for differently able as well as aged
people are priority factor.Also, whole anthropometric
design is created suit all users.
Each section of the building is dealt with as a separate
unit and their co-relation is achieved through simple
circulation. Rather than a regular practitioner, this is the
job of a specialist and we have collaborated with such
specialists for this sector.
Parasnis Hospital
Bibwewadi, Pune

19. Dagdusheth Mandir
Budhvar Peth, Pune
The temple is beautifully built in a small space. The deity
is placed on a raised platform so to to be visible from
road. An chandelier is suspended from an beautiful dome
inside. There is enough sitting space inside.
Temple also has an basement used as store. Carvings
on Kalasa have been designed by calling Rajasthani
artisians. The design is based on Vastu principles.
Overall the temple looks beautiful and simple. Its aimed
to make a balance between deity and temple design
obviously giving more importance to the central deity.

20. Moledina Hall
Pune Station
The project was undertaken for sorting out the complex,
congested and haphazard traffic movements including
pedestrian and local transport mediums. By raising the
middle portion of the road, the subway at the said
location was planned for easy movement of people by
providing an arrangement of ramps.
In all three directions with minimum number of steps with
due consideration for physically challenged / older
people. Within the terminal, a space for 29 buses is
planned, while including the space for about 400 four-
wheelers and remaining space for two-wheelers, it will be
a parking space for about 1200 vehicles.

21. Hujurpaga Girls College
Bajirao Road, Pune
Hujurpaga is an old and highly reputed girls school in
Pune which intended to build an junior college for girls in
its existing campus. The challenge was to create an big
spacious space in small congested site without disturbing
the old structures. The idea was to integrate the building
as a whole by providing the parking at basement.
All floors from second to fifth are connected with each
other through courtyards and cut-outs at various
levels.There is an existing entry to school building thus
dividing the building in two wings at ground and first level
forming a double height entry. The building has now
become the new identity of the old school.

22. MKSS Ambegaon Campus
Ambegaon, Pune
The brief was to create an New Vision School that will be
landmark campus drawing national and international
pride on an vast undulating slope at Ambegaon, Pune.
An residential school and junior college was designed
with all developmental infrastructure like sports complex,
play grounds, interactive spaces, auditoriums etc that will
make students love the campus.
Areas like the amphitheater were inserted in the existing
topography with great ease. A blend of traditional and
modern spaces was designed and care was taken to use
environmentally responsive technologies and materials to
reduce energy costs of future.

23. Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering & Technology
Nanded
We won the work of designing hostel for 900 boys and
Auditorium building for Sri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute
of Engineering & Technology through competitive
bidding. Nanded being an hot and dry space
we encouraged use of evaporative cooling, shadow effect
and cross ventilation in our hostel design.
The Auditorium has sitting of 800 students and balcony is
designed in such a way that it can be closed to form a
small auditorium for smaller events. The structure is in
structural steel and infill walls. the slab is pre stressed
and building has a momentous look.

24. Marathwada Auto Cluster - “Center of Excellence”
MIDC Waluj, Aurangabad
This building is an common learning and exhibition
center for industrialists in Aurangabad. It has two huge
exhibition halls which can also be used for playing
badminton in leisure time. It has an 250 capacity
multipurpose hall, cafeteria, training and research
centers, class rooms, library, electronic and computer
labs.
The special feature of this structure is it has been
designed as climate responsive taking into consideration
wind flow and sun path. In this assignment our all wings
VK:a,VK:e & VK:i are working together in architectural,
environmental and interiors respectively.

48. Introduction
Sustainability Initiatives
Sustainability initiatives is about people. About you and
we, and every living being on the planet. It is about
living a better quality of life for a prolonged time. The
consequences of humanity's own deeds now require
us to be alert, aware and active in responding
positively to them. Since Sustainability is about all of
us, Sustainability Initiatives is for us.
Sustainability Initiatives is built on the philosophy
which talks about creating awareness through
systemic mobilization of knowledge in the fields of
Energy, Environment, Ecology and overall
Sustainability.
It is a platform via which knowledge flows
through the different streams of individuals,
organisations, government agencies and
everyone else who thinks sustainability is their
job.
Through this, we assist governmental bodies to
take knowledge based decisions in policy
making and to spread the necessary awareness
to understand and implement these policies. We
also assist NGO's Educational Institutions and
professional bodies to gather and disseminate
knowledge regarding sustainability.
