The F1 circuit is proposed near Hyderabad. The design follows a stake holder approach where the requirements of spectators, operators and participants are
optimally solved. The site is developed on the factors existing at the site. The important links are the connections from the road and the rail network.
The requirements and the characerestics of the track defines the planning of the site. The administrative centre is
placed as a functional focus. This helps in reducing the resources for staging smaller events in comparison to full fledged events.
The museum is the image of the racing circuit. The concept is based on the ability of a super car to drive along an inverted surface by generating a greater force than gravity. The lower volume acts as the offices and functional areas; while the tubular spaces acts as the display areas. It also functions as a watch tower to see the spread out areas of the circuit.
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.
