Developing a Concept
01 | Campa Cola Factory
Using the Existing
The abandoned building occupies a prime spot, it sits in the face of the community as a concern, it can form a sensible urban connection at a larger level.
It is a strong structure and can be reused as an asset rather than a possible demolition.
The following conclusions were drawn from the analysis:
-
Recreating the Brand Image
-
Space for Public Congregation
-
An Evening Place to Chill with F&B
-
A space that nurtures Art
-
A means to fulfil the domestic needs of the neighborhood.
The Ground Floor of the Building has been interactive ever since the factory was functional, with majority of memories being related to viewing the bottling process from the street.
However, due to this prominent Street Presence, Negligence seems to be visually heightened when around the building.
The building tries to revoke the memory of interaction with the street through the façade, with the Brewery, now placed where the bottling plant initially was.
The buildings opens up at the street, swells into a courtyard and culminates as a street into the skill development center at the back.

Transformation of the Transverse Section
Demolition & Repairs
Facade Interventions, limited to basic Repair & Treatment. Replaceable Street Art Panels added to form a continuous ribbon like effect with Shankar Market.
02 | Residence at Mumbai
Building Anew
The Residence which belongs to a dynamic owner of a flourishing Restaurant chain is to be designed at Andheri (West).
Being a residence, personally driven, the design should incorporate ideals of adaptability and flexibility to be able to efficiently last.
Also, it should be able to transform into a more Urban Sensible form in the future, incase the owner plans to move out.
