Ikigai

The first level accommodates a small retail store conceived as an exploration of material expression. Terracotta-toned precast concrete flooring, timber fixture and furniture, and an exposed ceiling establish a warm, tactile interior that complements the organic nature of the store.

Ikigai

The upper level houses an inward-looking office organised around a central stair that anchors the office space. Precast terrazzo flooring and two internal balconies draw daylight deep into the compact plan, creating a calm and introspective workplace.

Ikigai

Indian streets are inherently mixed-use, where residential life and commerce coexist in varying proportions. Designing commercial architecture within such neighbourhoods therefore requires a typological response that balances public engagement with the intimacy of the residential street.

Ikigai explores this condition through a quiet architectural presence. Its expression is defined by structure and carefully composed openings, revealing little from the exterior. Clad in stained precast concrete panels, the building projects warmth and restraint, engaging the neighbourhood through familiarity rather than spectacle.

We warmly invite you to visit our recently completed Open Wall House set within a farm near the fertile agricultural belt in Tirukazhukunram.

We believe that this project reflects our shared commitment to gentle and environmentally responsive living.

Join us on 13 June for a guided visit of the house, its design and construction process, and the use of mud as a primary building material. Models will also be on display.

We look forward to welcoming you.
Please RSVP if you would like to attend.
