Project stories

At New Town, Kolkata, the studio spanned a banquet hall with a long-span steel roof so that the hall floor has no columns. The void above the bottom chord carries air-conditioning conduits, fire pipelines and catwalks. Sculpted FRP panels shape the interior, and the outside takes an Indo-Saracenic form.

Dream Villa in Muchipara, Kolkata, is a banquet hall on a plot of only 1,138 sq ft. The studio stacked it over ground plus three floors, 41 ft high, with 1,918 sq ft of built-up area. Bands of glass and wood-tone cladding face the street, and a glass canopy covers the roof terrace. The hall is complete and in use.

Hotel Nirvana is a built hotel in Bongaigaon, lower Assam, on a site of 16,609 sq ft with 32,561 sq ft of built-up area and a row of shops at street level. The studio expressed the rooms as terracotta-coloured boxes stacked against a white frame, beside a wall pierced with scattered square windows.

The nursing college at Lauhati, Kolkata, for the client Desun, has 34,389 sq ft of built-up area over ground plus four floors, 62 ft high, on a site of 54,864 sq ft. Banded brick, stone piers and dark vertical fins give it its face. It is ongoing and shown in visualisation.

The MHMS school at Kudghat, Kolkata, has 68,566 sq ft of built-up area over ground plus three floors, 60 ft high, on a site of about 42,750 sq ft. It is the largest building in the studio's portfolio. The project is ongoing and is shown in visualisation.

The studio is designing the interiors of a two-level duplex of 2,441 sq ft on the 17th and 18th floors of Skydale Tower in Siliguri, starting from a bare concrete shell with a view toward the hills. The work is ongoing and shown here in visualisation: the pictures are designs, not a finished home.

In a 457 sq ft studio apartment in Muchipara, Kolkata, the studio designed the interior and the furniture as one piece. A bed folds into the wall, wardrobes close behind sliding doors, an L-shaped sofa runs along the window, a backlit onyx panel gives focus and a terracotta jaali covers the ceiling.

The Opulence is a completed apartment building in New Alipore for the developer Ground to Skye: ground and four floors, 49 ft high, with 7,901 sq ft of homes over parking on a plot of 3,226 sq ft. Vertical fins, wood-toned pilasters and layered balconies set the rhythm of the facade and screen the flats from the street.
