Located in the densely populated surroundings of Paldi area in Ahmedabad, is this compact plot of 42’ x 62’. Exposed to the residential developments on the three sides and a road in the front, it would be needless to say that the design approach for the house had to create a sense of privacy and security. The client’s reason for selection of this plot was to stay connected with his local groups. The house appears a set of cubes with varied volumes, arranged with a balanced play of solids and voids. The brief was to create a spacious home with four bedrooms, a drawing room, a dining area, a kitchen and a formal living space that connected to garden. For easy movement within, a lift was needed. The parking was discarded as a common space was already provided by the society. The planning of the house is done based on the below factors.
There are some buildings which are timeless, and some which continue to live across time through multiple uses and after-lives.
In designing the interior and space for the corporate offices of Alembic Real Estate, Vadodara, The Crossboundaries took an opportunity to give the interiors of a 55 year old large industrial building its second life. The site for the Alembic Real Estate office is set in the vast 200 acre Alembic Group campus which is being redeveloped and upgraded as a walkable and sustainable mixed use development called Alembic City. Here, a defunct distillery is now revived as an impressive art gallery, and deserted quadrangles come alive to evenings of music and public life. A range of other interventions to bring forth tasteful art and music event spaces, a skate park and F&B experiences around various industrial and factory spaces of the campus are parallelly planned and moving forward in the Art District. Massive facilities of boilers, sheds, storages, distillation plants that once processed pharmaceuticals and chemical material now become potential spaces to hold an alchemy of public interventions. With this background and a glorious history as a leading industry and multi-generation company, the clients, Alembic Group, sought a sensitive approach along with a progressive outlook for the Real Estate office headquarters.
The antipodal requirements of privacy and togetherness drove the concept and development of this villa, which was to be the home of an extended family spanning three generations. With three couples and two children forming the members of the closely-knit unit, the design had to make room for seclusion and solitude, and shared areas that would allow congregations of different sizes.
A rectilinear composition creating offices opening into landscaped terraces along an arterial city road, Stellar is a commercial building with retail spaces at the 3 lower levels and offices at the upper 4 levels.
This 110 meter long building is fragmented at the upper floors with north facing terraces and is punctuated by a large 2 level angular office space on the north west corner.
‘Amaltas’ (regional name for Cassia Fistula) is a residential retreat, conceptualized and designed as a sublime setup amidst an otherwise countryside landscape. As a spatial configuration, Amaltas addresses residential functionality in accord with the surrounding invitatory landscape, interspersed courtyards, apertures for indirect daylighting and syncretic accents of inherited, artisanal and natural entities.
Owing to its site-specific presence, the villa encompasses about 900 sq. m of area, across a 7000 sq. m plot, on the outskirts of Vadodara City, Gujarat, India. The built form demonstrates wide peripheral verandahs towards the South and West-facing surfaces enveloping the internal annexes, which radiate outwards from the formal center of the space; further guiding a user through sequential experiences from public to semi-private, and eventually private areas.
The peculiarity in this case is, that the spatial domesticity here caters to the requirements of its singular inhabitant i.e. the client herself, as opposed to the typicality of any residential space accommodating a multi-member family household. On similar lines, the transitions between open, semi-open and closed spaces are structured through a series of courtyards which not only moderate the openness of each space, but also enable natural ventilation and day-lighting.
Situated in the prime area of Vadodara the restaurant with 1600 sqft. area on ground focuses to encompass the ecology and built form of the space through modern aspects based on vibrant aesthetics, and functionality to derive architectural and interior balance in limited budget.
Experiencing the visual profile of the facade and characteristic of the space the interiors evolve through unimagined ways giving a sense of relatedness to the 16 years old legacy of the restaurant. The designing team transforms this erstwhile space through combinations of contemporary concepts with abstract aesthetics of bold triangular geometry through lighter and brighter space interiors which create warm as well as welcoming feel.
The Alembic factory is located in the middle of the city and along the main railway line of the city of Baroda. In its 112th year of existence, the first ever Alembic industrial building in Vadodara has seen multiple surgical interventions. Similar to many old factory buildings, the building got altered over time due to change in the original purpose of the facility. Starting from manufacturing penicillin to alcohol.
This refurbished private residence is located in Vadodara; Gujarat, India, which is planned in an organized manner, where the voids create air corridors in the internal as well as external spaces. Each space possess 2 large openings in opposite directions for ample of airflow and natural lighting into the spaces, creating a warm and illuminated space.
Each space functions in its own aspect by amalgamating visual connectivity across levels, through punctured huge balconies, projecting out on different levels and sides.
Tower House is an experiment in vertical living. A typical bungalow of 400 square meters is squeezed into a footprint of 6.5 x 12.5m, forcing the program up five stories rather than spread along the ground. Despite the stacked floors, the design generates the experience of a house, with a diversity of spatial types throughout its section. At the same time, it takes advantage of the benefits of moving vertically with efficiently organized services, views across the city, and greater potentials for both stack and cross ventilation.
