4. CONCEPT - WADA
● The region celebrated the vernacular wada style, and it
resonated well with client’s brief to leverage natural cooling
methods to maximise non-air-conditioned areas.
● The Centrum Club's planning is inspired from traditional 'wada'
houses of Maharashtra where groups of rooms are arranged
around one or many courtyards.
● Dynamic volumes in massing encapsulate the built and unbuilt
spaces while keeping the courtyard shaded.
● With chambers arranged like petals around central courtyard,
the native Wada vernacular style of Maharashtra was adopted.
VERNACULAR STYLE OF MAHARASHTRA

16. ● A steady transition propelled by consistent, complementary
materials furthers the intent of seamlessness.
● As one moves through the property, each wall, each floor, each
surface flows into the next.
● Bold exterior finishes in weathered steel and rough plaster are
lacerated by openings that splendidly frame vistas of the rolling
hills beyond.

extends the building’s reach beyond the
