S214 is a single-family residence that employs a contemporary minimalist design language, defined by clean volumes, geometric forms, and a refined material palette. The façade combines a soft cornered monolithic mass in taupe microcemeny plaster with perforated black metal screens that provide privacy, shade, and ventilation, while a warm wooden door introduces a natural accent. Soft landscaping and cascading greenery balance the composition with a touch of nature.

Spatially, the house is compactly planned around multiple light wells, ensuring ample daylight and cross ventilation throughout. The layout accommodates four bedrooms organized efficiently to maximize usable space while maintaining privacy. The light wells not only brighten the interiors but also create visual connections across levels, enhancing the sense of openness within the compact footprint.

The proposal for the following project was derived from the client's sole request of keeping it minimal, yet sophisticated. For our team, these two aspects directed the entire process of our design. Upon the patrons suggestion, we started by reducing the existing structure down to an open plan that allowed an undisturbed view of the entire apartment. Our next aim was to blend in the spaces with complimenting details, details that reflected the core idea of keeping it simple yet complicated. From the lights, to the furniture, every element was designed and produced to compliment the sophistication we aimed to achieve.
Once our space started taking shape, our client made his biggest contribution to the project, his unmatched art collection. As an art collector and film maker, it was left on his own sense of composition to decide the placement of the artwork and our team honestly would not have had it any other way. Every piece of art, be it on the walls or sculptures on ground, were placed with a conscious thought of controlling how the viewers eye traveled around the apartment, creating and entire journey for not just visitors and guests, but for themselves as residents.

The proposal of Kaarkhana was heavily impacted by the prioritization of the blue collar staff and hence, we took an extremely humanistic and sociological approach to Industrial Architecture. This specific user may never have adjusted to a completely alien space, one that allowed no vandalism, one where there might not be any chaos and hence their studios had to be kept as open halls. As a result, our team along with .zuberi carefully planned to focus on creating a narrative for the complete manufacturing of the product instead, where the storage and seasoning of the raw materials start a journey that ends with a crafted furniture product. The departments are connected via a straight flight staircase that acts as the Datum of the structure, this staircase runs along with the main corridor and the seasoning courtyard creating a spatial split within the structure. This split allowed us to form a visual connection between all departments, allowing the administrative offices and the supervisors to constantly have a frame of the entire factory. Open halls were zoned where every 'Kaarigar' had the free will to create their very own 'addaa' (workstation), hence allowing them to give the space an identity of their choice.
For the users that surrounded the site, it was key for us to design what they could see, in a way that they could relate to as well. We compiled a visual registry of the houses and shanty workshops found throughout the region in an attempt to capture the similarities that define the region's architectural style. We adopted the locally produced element of concrete jalis and customized their designs with the manufacturer to. To keep a porous yet monumental identity, the façade was composed with an abundant use of concrete screens and a vertical flanking wall that marks the entrance, the entire front was then left untreated to merge in with the plaster finished structures in the surrounding.
