Narrative: Tiny Treetopia provides you with a utopian experience in a tiny but dreamy space. A place where you wake up to the quiet and serene view of the beach; a corner to get cosy with your book and cup of coffee; a place to break away from your mundane life and have conversations with loved ones gazing at the stars; it has it all. The site is located at Hutbay in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. It is an unexplored settlement in Little Andaman and is 120 kilometres by sea from Port Blair. The Site was chosen for its rare amalgamation of waterfront and forest at one place and for its connection with public amenities. The brief was to design a 400 sq. ft treehouse for two people. Workspace is provided near the living area to separate work and rest. The kitchen is provided between the living area and bedroom for snack breaks from work as well as midnight cravings. The bedroom has a cosy corner and leads to an open deck that acts as a break-out space. We used materials rooted in the history and culture of the place, i.e., bamboo, thatch and mud for building our treehouse.

This is to identify spatial configurations to express a social and cultural meaning. The analysis of the house and the building in terms of circulation and the sequence of spaces is achieved through the space-syntax. Vrindavan Soceity

Narrative: The aim of the project is to provide a Villa for a family of four while allowing them to work from home by designing architecture that seamlessly blends with the rural fabric of Kerala, rather than fracturing it but adding to it. The project responds to the site by including local involvement in functions incorporated on the site, thus strengthening the bond formed by the new residents with the locals. The project is intended to assist the four new inhabitants in gradually acclimating to their new surroundings without upsetting the local population, history, custom, or climate. “Samantar” seamlessly merges with its surroundings as the structure itself merges into the site topography running parallel to the proximal circumstances. The hierarchy of spaces is choreographed such that the private, semi private and public spaces remain well distinct and none of them is disturbed by the other. The orientation of the functions are to maximize light and wind flow and minimize heat to cope up with the humidity on site for which courtyards are an ideal element to passively design zones for maximization of light yet cool spaces adopted traditionally in most Keralan houses also enhancing indoor outdoor relationship.

The COA Heritage Award aims to encourage interest and talent of students for understanding,Documenting of Heritage buildings. Narrative: The heritage destination of Moodabidri has been documented as a part of first year study tour intending to explore architecture as a derived concept of religion, commerce, identity, and ownership. Pondering upon the local lives and factual religious protocols, the study concludes in unsolved mysteries and conflicting statements developing the idea of COMPLEXITY and CONTRADICTION. Architectural visual continuity is experienced where houses offer a resemblance to that of the basadis. This was due to the fabric of the houses that created a similar ambiance, not only in the interiors but also from the exterior. Each structure flourished a self choreographed tale that unfolds all layers of the settlement that remain interconnected via people and the aura of spiritual esteem in its architectural shadow. A stitched glory of basadis and dwellings, the Celebrated Jain Kashi of Southern India is an amalgamation of rich culture, religion, and architecture. Amidst the rusty red laterite marvels, we experienced strong spiritual gestures not only in the aura of the place but also from the recital of every sculpted pillar, every areca nut cracking, the cast silhouette of the majestic Manasthamba, and rushing school buses in the narrow alleys of Basadis.

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : The design aimed to arouse a sense of familiarity and interactivity. The design process includes integration of operational words, SPLIT, RECORD, and SURPRISE, which modulates the form providing timelessness to the design process. The roof flows seamlessly into spaces transforming itself from a gable roof to a sloped roof and then turning into a butterfly roof over the dining and the palnaghar. The form splits, twists, and turns into the space, such that one will have a view of the central atrium. The zoning is based on the idea of splitting by segregating the functional spaces, as per the accessibility and utility. The Palana Ghar is placed on the first level in close proximity to staff to increase usability and reduce circulation. The words surprise and record adds up to the experiential value of the spaces. One can have a glimpse of the play area when using the walkway, thus creating a sense of curiosity as one perceives the space. Previous Next Balwadi - Creche

Jay Mali : : : : : : : : : : : Recently shifted from Istanbul to Goa, Rucha lives in a 1 BHK apartment with her husband Emir who is a cardiologist and her ten-year-old daughter Tansa. Catering to the various needs of the family, the design incorporates a modern- minimalist approach. The monochromatic color scheme gives off light and earthy vibes and the use of blues and greens in the form of textures and plants add a pop of color to the space. The use of different textures like brick cladding in the living room, reflective surfaces like mirrors and the wooden flooring and beadboard ceiling help break the monotony and accentuate certain features of the space. Further the beadboard ceiling in the living room adds a cosy and modern look. The design incorporates an open space layout with the kitchen counter and the bookcase acting as a separating element creating workspaces for tansa and Rucha. The design contains line furnishings, flushed cabinets and space saving minimalist furniture that are well-built and comfortable. The corner seating for reading, well designed balcony spaces with mesh walls for gardening, coffee table, use of Turkish rugs, foldable table for playing board games, a separate bookcase and wall display for showcasing antiques responds to the specific needs of the client.

The COA Heritage Award aims to encourage interest and talent of students for understanding,Documenting of Heritage buildings. Narrative: An essential aspect that separates this structure from any other handicraft is the huge scale of the Uru. The documentation holistically explored the translation of this scale while associating it with an architectural building. The core objective behind this project resides in the principle that these ships don't follow a set of pre-hand working drawings which is a fundamental feature in any aspect of a real time architectural design Thereby, treating the Ship, its site and the entire premise as an architectural structure, environment and its program transpired to be the biggest aspiration of this journey. The documentation is an attempt to bring forth the design-based semblances working upon the curvatures of the ship and various parametric permutations applied in architecture all around the globe. This builds up an untold narrative that encapsulates the ship and the town of Beypore. The drawings produced, the places mapped, and the context studied all pursue a different purpose and follow various methods yet merge together in a network of connections. The Uru exhibition replicates the relationship between the Khalasis, their culture, the craft and its history while treating the ship, the site, and Beypore, each of it at different scales as different canvases.

Narrative: The hustle-bustle, the pollution and numerous problems fabricate the city in only one emotion of black and white and neutrality. The dichotomy of these emotions is seen as we get introduced to a village. Villages induce calmness and contentment, which a city life lacks, afflicting us more to that space. The village accommodates various structures, having a particular function, each provoking a distinct emotion. These emotions are implied through the colors stimulating them. All the houses in the village transmit positivity, confidence, and security, which is conveyed through the color blue. The orange library projects an idea of enthusiasm to read books and offers creativity to visualize it. The hospital, which requires tranquility and well-being, is manifested by the color green. The red color of the community hall depicts the excitement and energizes us to celebrate the activity held there. The excitement and happiness of the school and garden are portrayed through the color yellow. The presence of color is evident in everything we perceive and, to express the space we have represented through various colors associated with a specific emotion. This vivid graphic comprises forms of architectural drawings, namely plans, sections and isometrics, breaking the usual way of representing space in a fixed only monotonous way.
