Shiv Temple
Designed in dialogue with the priest and the people from surrounding villages, the temple design is a collaborative effort. Built through ‘Shramdaan’ (self-build) by the villagers, this temple was constructed on a shoestring budget.
Jetavan
Our approach to the Jetavan project looks to extend the idea of the regional paradigm whilst separating it from the pervasive ‘image’ of what defines the local. The construction process also sets out an approach that looks to further construction techniques based on local materiality not necessarily used natively but appropriate for it’s context.
The Lattice House
The Lattice house is located in a new suburb on the outskirts of Jammu city in north-western India. Its context is symptomatic of the nature of urbanization in many small cities, scattered throughout the fast urbanizing Indian landscape, where formal planning mechanisms are reactive to new and informal settlements that precede them.
