A final-year architecture student at the World University of Design, with a strong interest in how each site calls for a unique response shaped by climate, materials, landscape, and context. Experience includes a summer set design internship at Merry Go Around and an architectural internship at Kakani Associates, working on schools, residences, an NGO center, and industrial projects. The work involved planning, GFC drawings, facade detailing, fabrication, and 3D visualization, building a sensitivity toward climate-responsive design and reduced concrete use. Skilled in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, and Adobe tools.
Graduation Project
Project Title – Taranga Shaila Vanam- Beach Resort , Vizag
This thesis aims at designing a resort along Rushikonda Beach in close proximity to the hill and the coast. It attempts to reinterpret regional architectural values in an entirely new hospitality paradigm, resulting in a contextual design which provides for an enriching experience within its environment.
Two primary design concepts, namely “shades of green” and “shades of grey,” inform the entire design process. “Shades of green” involve the incorporation of more than 20% of the existing vegetation in the overall design framework. This would require careful positioning of the built structures so that the existing ecosystem is not disturbed.
“Shades of grey” involve the conscious attempt to avoid the use of concrete material by means of reinforced construction in the building. Architectural expression makes use of regional elements such as the chuttillu, clay-tiled roof, and thatch roof.Within a 9 m height constraint, the design adopts brick load-bearing walls, jack arches, and brick spans to create a sustainable, context-responsive resort rooted in regional identity.
