Design Educates Awards 2023

The project is a refreshing take on a design studio, with an elevated space that allows nature to flow through, inviting its users to an airy and uplifting environment. A proponent of sustainable architecture, the project repurposes old Mangalore tiles, steel, and windows sourced from a dilapidated textile factory, 8kms away. With a firm emphasis on up-cycling materials, the sectional cutaway along its east-west orientation explains the building’s design intent. A natural colour palette that retains the materials’ true form, a subtle interplay of levels encircling a central atrium, and steep gabled roofing are the key elements that forms the space.
