Great thanks to Muniraj, Balachandran and Srinath who have been the onsite pillars for getting this building executed in the way SRDA envisioned it. And the biggest thank you to the entire team of craftsmen that have put their blood and sweat into making this building for the people of Byrasandra.

In spite of colossal demolition and the debris it creates, building activity continues to remain indispensable. Architectural thinking must evolve around sustainability, recycling materials, and resources.

Cool House / Samira Rathod Design Atelier

We believe that architecture is a response to many parameters, context, site, vegetation, geography, and climate. When building in a dry and arid place like Bharuch, the heat, locally called "loo" in Guajarati was a big such parameter that the architecture had to respond to. When making a house, it is imperative to take cognizance of many practical parameters of comfort, and for this house in Bharuch it was particularly tackling the summer heat. The name Cool House has come from the way the house has been designed, a respite in the summer, a tree's shade under the scorching sun, the house as in the words of our patron is like a funnel that channels all of Bharuch's wind into the house, making it a cool comfortable haven to live in.

Every project is a response to several parameters- some physical, some metaphysical, some tangible, and some intangible. Today the idea of sustainability is imperative, but its definition has many interpretations. One such response and interpretation is this house we fondly named- House of Concrete Experiments.

Almost all of us have been here in our childhood, and perhaps the closest memories we hold dear are not of significant events, but ironically of the insignificant ones. Of losing oneself to wonderment, to wander under the skies, to re-live in our vivid imaginations of the make-believe and many more phrases that make the song of our lives.

The Shadow House / Samira Rathod Design Atelier

Set on the foothills of Maharashtra in Alibaug, far away from the busy city life of Mumbai. The plot was a dry barren piece of parched earth. When I first saw it, there were two lonely trees; a view of the hills in the distance and dry fields all the way to the sky, all around.
