We are clueless about the trash we generate. Most of tis debris ends up in the ocean, threating the ecosystem. As a part of our social initiative, we decided to generate awareness about this problem. The floating pavilion of trash is entirely made of waste materials salvaged from an urban area. It uses discarded PET bottles, wood from packaging and disused fishing nets to create the pavilion. This project won multiple awards including IIA state award and Malayala Manorama parpidam award.
The chiseled house was one of our earliest renovation projects. The original house was constructed 13 years back and had used heavy ornamentation in its architectural expression. The layout had disjointed functions and lacked ventilation. We redesigned the house with a minimal architectural vocabulary based on the functional requirements. The skewed roof form is the outcome of a design process based on functional requirements and structural integrity. Layers of bamboo and other tropical planting, at different strategic points bring about passive cooling, and adds greenery to the house.
