INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE DESIGN INTERVENTION IN THE EXISTING HOUSE FOR SMT.U.Y SHINDE AT SATARA
Here the rigid partitions between the various rooms were got rid of by opening the walls in such a corbelled fashion to allow flow of spaces in to each other without disturbing the individuality of spaces beyond each wall. The exposed existing RCC column was clad with the residue of jaiselmer stone tiles. The flooring provides an interesting background for the typical furniture which was bought in by the client. The flooring involves four different materials which nearly fight with each other for their existence. The same floor pattern while falling out of the main door in to the landscape suddenly loses its sharpness and flows out to the open.

A unique program of multi functional and small spaces along with an understanding client lead to a small vernacular looking structure with a lot of interesting spaces. A simple partially load bearing structure exposes the way it is constructed. A small niche inside the house, which was an offshoot of the roof slope, is the most liked part of the Latkar family.
MR.KOLEKAR’S RESIDENCE AT SATARA
A project taken up as a challenge for trying to reduce the cost for a client who had a limited site and budget. The built up area is approx. 700 sqft. The requirement of a shop was also to be fulfilled in the same site. The circular forms were chosen to make the load bearing structure, which used as less steel as possible more earthquake resistant as well as to, create interesting residual spaces which even give an interesting entry to the house. The shop counter and the canopy are in ferrocement. And the R.C.C. filler slab is used here along with arches to span openings

The multi level plot with a seasonal water body gave the inspiration for the initial design. The proposal was inspired by the stones, which turn in to pebbles with many years of being in the flow of water. The shedding of edges and sharpness of these stones was like being so adaptive to surroundings that it seemed great to think about a house that would look like it has been there and has been weathered to its form. But due to the challenging form and a rural setting of the site we had to turn to a new concept.
The existing design is based on the movement of a user from the entry to the site to the water body. The basic inspiration being that of the circulation in traditional step wells. A simple grid plan is brought in the third dimension by taking advantage of the levels on site and a complex and interesting roof-scape. The project is yet to be completed…..
