Surrounded by lush green open plots, the site context is an opportunity where architecture responds sensitively to nature through a material palette and spatial openness. Sustainability forms the core philosophy for the design, where the material palette plays an important role. Evolving from ecological sensibilities, the ground beams were formed within the cavities of brick walls and RCC slurry poured to bind and strengthen—transforming construction logic into an expressive architectural language of efficiency and craft.
