Project Description | the completion date – 01-01-2021 COST: 10 lakhs 0% CARBON FOOTPRINT DESIGN ( restaurant design) By a wonderful coincidence, the respectfulness towards resources and earth-energies that are the founding principles of our practice converged with the owners’ family links to pottery, and its inextricable connections to the earth. The attempt, then, became to build up this connection, heritage, and talent in the new venture. “we told the client to let his family, who is still into this craft, use their talent, and, in turn, and we would use these various forms of the traditional vernacular material in the restaurant. We are inclined to creating design that is both, high on environment-sensitivity and aesthetics. “This way, we could subtly but emphatically illustrate the family skill.” The weaving of vernacular and technology, and the collaboration and contribution of the local stakeholders in the family and the architects has resulted in spontaneity and diversity in the design. |
Materials Used | Reclaimed wood (ceiling and furniture) Natural organic paste (walls and ceiling) (dye extracted from the flower of the kesudo (flame of forest) tree, turmeric, and other organic ingredients like hay and natural glue called sares)- Golden Plaster |
Sustainability | Reinforcing the intent through senses and objects: The material development and research were done on site, and no artificial pigment or additives were used in the process of making the organic paste for the application on the surface of walls and ceiling. These make the spatial narrative richer and convey the commitment to build with a respect for the place we inhabit resulting in Low embodied energy. 1. Lamps are designed and customized locally the Reclaimed Jute strings and fabric from wedding mandaps |
Issues Faced | Since the client had a financial constraint, we explored their vibrant and historic legacy while designing the space. ( the client/ owners’ family links to pottery since generations) |
Additional Comments | A major aspect of sustainable architecture is going back to our Indian roots, taking inspiration from vernacular structures and applying them in new buildings. Physical space affects us deeply. Encouraging Ecological, cost-effective design. Our role is to bring nature into our everyday lives, so people are never detached from it. Since the beginning of time humans have been living in and evolving with nature. Being surrounded by nature is in our DNA and we design to connect to that moment in nature. Our biological systems always respond positively to natural environments and materials. Wherever possible we use biophilic design features. |
