Concept for an Apartment Building

Conceptual design for an Apartment.

Architecture Sketches from my Sketchbook.....

I don't remember that I made any descent sketches while I was in college of Architecture. Only when I passed out I realized the essence and need for it. Since I was not very good at sketching, I recalled my starting years in college of Architecture, wherein one of the faculty asked us to sketch. Initially it was part of our Basic Design class and very soon we all forgot about it also, but the with time I realized the importance of those words of my faculty. Till today I remember that day to give me the support to make new sketches to help me think better and grow as an architect. I am 200% sure that these are not the world best sketches, but they still part of me and every time they keep inspiring me to do better work. In-addition to that, I am grandly thankful to that faculty of mine who provided me all the support as a mentor for lifetime......

Works of Nadir Khalil.....

It has been quite some time that I got my hands on Nadir Khalil's book " Racing Alone". The choice was simple since he is one of the pioneering masters in the field of earth art (architecture). Names like Laurie Baker, Hassan Fathy, Nader Khalil have always been associated with this basic building material, i.e. earth. Although there is a common thread amongst them, but the technique used and the geometry followed is distinctly exclusive.

Since I am awe inspired with his journey after becoming an architect (from US) and his work, so I feel the need to share my interest. There's lots to see and lots to learn from the master, even though he is not around.

Design 23

The online platform HOMEPLANSINDIA has helped me to showcases all my designs at this point of time. All the designs have been worked through by me over a period of 2 years. I had the passion to work on them for quite some time, but didn't new the right way to take them further. Few were left in  my tracing book, few were in loose paper which my staff kept it in there drawers. After a long time, I gathered my interest and energy along with the support from my husband who is also an architect to complete it. Other than him, 4 other staff members supported me to get this idea done for real.

So here we are with all our thought, efforts and concern to design & build homes which are economical, aesthetically appealing, spacious and livable for any family. The idea of this platform has always remained the same from the day one I conceived it, i.e. to provide good, neat and simple drawings so that any local labour /contractor can decipher the drawings on there own to build the house in any small / big city of our country with least intervention from an architect.

Since I am through with my saga, I am attaching the animated video of two of my designs.
