In many Indian families, the woman of the house spends much of her time looking after others; planning meals, watching over everyone's health, and keeping the household steady. What she rarely has is the chance to sit with her family and share the time she helps create for them. This became clear in our first meeting, and it shaped how the design began to take form.

KAARYASHALA Office / AANGAN Architects

Hana Abdel — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:00:00 +0000

KAARYASHALA is an architecture firm's workspace, the idea behind which germinated from the aspiration to bring a combination of a homely feeling as well as a studio-oriented environment. The vision behind the design and making of the new workspace was to bring the ideology of sustainable design practice and the two-decade-long journey in the form of a physical manifestation. It was envisioned to have a soulful process from the selection of site and context, space organization, construction material and methodology, and artwork. The design is not about attractive aesthetics, sophisticated furniture, or technical lighting, it's about the idea of moving into a village, about making people believe in the idea of recycling and upcycling; not only material but space and context. In a world governed by ', what meets the eyes', this is our place that 'touches the heart', a feeling that can only be experienced by being in the place.
