The economical process also dictated the use of natural lighting, with incremental differences in each building. The ancillary new buildings by DCA extend this vocabulary in a contemporary fashion. The spatial character of each hall emerges both from the relationship with the outside and from the craft of its construction.

SHL The Serenity – Living in Delta, designed by SHATOTTO architecture for green living, creates a place for comfortable living but also a place for celebrating life with all the cinematic reflections of nature in every aspect inspired by the life of the celebrity. The philosophy behind designing the landscape of this building was to create a living room for the city by connecting the cityscape with the waterscape of the building. To create a deltaic impact, the building is positioned as far away from the road. The appropriately designed roof has made it a Rendezvous for social gathering and a space for grass, trees, birds and butterflies.

Byg Brewski, designed by Mathew and Ghosh Architects, captures the openness, dramatic scale of spectacle for events, and its ruined character to create the ambiance. A heady mix of enterprise, visual understanding, and who could feel the course of the narrative. The openness of the central area brings people together much like town squares / community village spaces / an oasis– somewhat making notions that are subconsciously felt as familiar. Many materials were recycled from old Mangalore tiles, stones from the site and surrounding including the boulders from the adjoining sites etc.

The Quarry House, designed by Within n Without Architects, is a weekend home that sits in the landscape of a lush suburb.

The site is at strategic location adjacent to a vertical cut of an abandon quarry, surrounded by panoramic views, at Deolali camp area, Nashik. A structure, emerging from ground, chopped and transparent stands apart from the neighboring buildings, allowing space to flow through its transparency, often disappearing in its landscape.

Figure-Ground, designed by Takuyahosokai, is composed of multiple volumes with the same physical and intimate scale as the surrounding environment. They sought to create a space surrounded by soft and homogeneous indirect light because the program is a hair salon. To obtain natural light at the back of the building, the shape of the building gradually expands from the front to the back, both in plan and elevation. Through the manipulation of form and the interdigitation of volumes, the boundaries between interior and exterior, architecture and context, become blurred.

This idea ripples through our vision of future where school extends beyond its walls and becomes an open, interactive space.

Dancing light, designed by Kendle Design Collaborative, celebrates nature through creative contemporary design with striking geometric shapes that mirror the surrounding mountains. The eye-catching element of the entire structure, a floating roof canopy gives a sculptural accent to the design. Layered rammed-earth walls link the modern interior to the desert, while concrete, metal, and glass provide a counterbalance to the organic forms. Arranged around a central courtyard-like space, the rooms allow natural light and the mountain breeze to flow through the house.

IHA Residence, designed by Wallmakers, is an eco-friendly abode that retains peace and quiet in the busy city of Trivandrum. The residence depicts an atmosphere that is an oxymoron in nature – Serene and warm, with minimalistic decors, and also adventurous and wild design. The bamboo façade is created and conserved in a stable position by reinforcing the bamboo with steel rods. The continuous string of bamboo hand you the front elevation of the residence, supporting the staircase hanging from it, creating a semi-open place for your quiet thoughts.

JES House, designed by CARPE + CRUX arquitectos, overpowering the site conditions, environment, orientation, planning- and certain reflections on materiality. It follows the scheme of the traditional Valencian house: a housing volume with rooms on both sides of a central corridor, followed by a patio or corral. The resulting volume of the house is blunt but with a great sense of proportionality. There are no excesses, no innovative solutions, just a domestic order brought to scale and the composition.

Jacarandá House, designed by Estudio Galera, is a vacation home works as a transitional nexus between different scales, typologies and area uses. A game of boxes is devised as a project strategy since it allows for grouping, stacking and skewing; boxes that can grow, shorten, expand or comprise depending on the need. At the time of projecting, this exercise generates great flexibility and ensures versatility on the project proposal. The exposed concrete is the sole material of this project and it is worked with different formwork.

Gable House, designed by UA Lab, has a garden and Courtyard conceptually conceived on the site plan, followed by sheltered, protected residential spaces. We developed a layout with open spaces running parallel to the indoor residential spaces. This also allowed for getting in maximum daylight and providing better cross-ventilation opportunities. The Delicate scissor truss against the Simple bold tower, displays a contrasting and evocative Entrance facade set in the green open space. The design layout is about interconnected spaces and interconnected volumes.
