Excavating an organic space for celebration amidst the concrete blocks makes a social statement towards the community.

Designed with the intention of breaking the monotony, the form grows vertical as a response to the dense setting. The design holds a solid base capped by an explorative crack that opens up to the context, followed by a porous façade for privacy and views.

The spaces flowing vertically are designed keeping in mind their communal values - intimate spaces more ordered & celebrative spaces more organic. The minimal & compact planning of spaces merges the furniture with the built. This blurs the transition between spaces, creating a sense of togetherness. In this compact design, landscape plays a vital role in diluting the dialogue between the building and the ground/ the sky/ the void.

The vertical you grow, the privacy grows.

The popup window becomes a portal for interaction, adding a strong character to the façade.
