3. Inspired by the cane chairs with the naturalistic curve and with the idea to use the most used and seen circle which
is also one of the first inventions of mankind ‘THE WHEEL’. Keeping the wheel in mind and wanting a naturalistic curve
and considering metal a widely available scrap it had to be the rim.
RIM CHAIR
Initial stages of design was to simply
give the chair support and stability.
Further evolved the design by inclin-
ing the rims at an angle.
The final stage of design evolved by
curving the rims adding arm rest to
give a lounge chair look.

A chair is a ordinary thing in
every house, we apply them
every day without paying con-
sideration to it. But when you
require an original part, cre-
ative and useful we are clueless
so here we wanted to achieve
something which is beautiful to
Industrial or Innovative.
When the minor design prob-
lem given to us was reuse the
discarded materials so we de-
cided to design a chair.
Again a chair could be of card-
board, timber, glass or various
fabrics but we wanted some-
thing firm and solid which
bought us down to discarded
bicycle rims wooven with fab-
rics as the seat and backrest
which would make the chair
comfortable yet stand true to
reusing discarded material.

4. On a remote location this weekend cabin is the best opportunity to test the possibility of energy independence of a
housing project. Energy independence from the public service supply. Energy self sufficiency through photovoltaic panels
and Wind turbines.
THE COCOON
THE GROUNDLESS SITE
Here we have designed tree house as
an option for building eco-friendly in
remote forest area which has been one
of the main criteria for the design, be-
cause the do not require a clearing of a
certain area of forest. The wildlife, cli-
mate and illumination on ground level
in areas of dense close-canopy forest
is not well suited for human habitation.
In some parts of the tropics, ordinary
houses are built in trees or elevated on
stilts to keep the living quarters above
hazards at ground level, and to keep
the occupants and any stored food out
of reach of scavenging animals.

CONCEPT
The cocoon, is from were the concept comes from. Cocoons may be
tough or soft, opaque or translucent, solid or mesh like, of various col-
ors, or composed of multiple layers which is serves all aspects of a
human needs in a tree house

5. SAMSKRITI
“the process of cultivating and reform”
Samskriti, the Sanskrit word for culture and civilization is derived from the word ‘Samskara’, which means the dual process of
removing the dust and dirt of vice and planting the virtues of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Righteousness), Shanti (Peace) and
Prema (Love) which is the only essence for a successful neighbourhood.
ABOUT SITE
CHALLENGES FROM THE SITE
CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE REGION
ECONOMIC & INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
SITE PROXIMITY
- total site extends upto 80 acres located at paduparempalli in udupi dst. it is
mostly a cultivation land on the banks of the river swarna.
- density of the population is comparetively low and most of them are engaged in
farming especially paddy and sugarcane.
- The site is situated in a remote area where access roads are very narrow. residen-
tial patterns is such that houses are placed along the road making a large cultiva-
tion land inaccessible.
- Probability of flooding is very high both by the river and storm water. Land fill of
such a huge plot will affect the surrounding area and farming.
- Bhootha kola, aati kalenja, karangolu & nagamandalaare some of the cultural
traditions of udupi. the residents celebrate festivals such as diwali, dusshera and
christmas.
- Folk arts like yakshagana and hulivesha are famous.
- Predominantly small scale industries with an increased focus now in developing larger
industries.
- There is printing press in manipal doing high security printing like cheques, share cer-
tificates.
- Presence of computer companies like robsoft technologies & sourcehub india
- Work for setting up of underground petroleum crude reserve at padur by central gov-
ernment has commenced.

ELEMENTS INFLUENCING THE SITE
- Natural physical features - the area is mainly cultivating land and
there is river abucting the site.
- Man made features - there are no significant man made features in or
around the area.
- Circulation - the development of houses is mainly along the road,
- Utilities - no such significant ultilities available except for small shops.
- Sensory - no such elements existing yet, the context is very serine
and natural.
- Human & cultural - most of the people living own a certain cultivable
land.
- Climate - it is hot and humid in summers, monsoons are from june to
october with annual rainfall of about 4000mm.
DAIRY FARMING
- It is eco-friendly and does not cause environmental pollution as compared to oth-
er industries.
- Requirement of skilled labor is relatively less.
- Dairy product market is active round the year.
- Minimum investment on inventory. (No need to to stock raw materials in huge
quantities.)
- Entire establishment can be shifted to a new location (if need arises e.g. Fire,
Floods etc.)
- Less energy requirement. Biogas plant fed with cow dung can supply maximum
energy to meet farms day to day requirement. Decomposed slurry of such plant
can also be effectively used as organic manure.
Limitations and Constraints:
Breeding of animals and getting expected milk yield is a biological phe-
nomenon, which depends upon various factors. Dairy farming besides good plan-
ning requires hardworking, reliable and alert manager. Inadequate management
of feeding, heard health and lack of quality control in various stage of production
can cause major loss affecting the profitability of the entire venture

“Work experience in rural setting”
I was very interested in working with this studio in particular for its inclination to combine tradition with a new vernacular
style as well as promote eco-friendly designs
In addition to that, living and working in a rural setting was a new and challenging event for me personally, and added to the
richness of my experience in the firm.
