This project is for a competition to design an Indian heritage museum in Singapore.
The aim of the concept was to create a building that houses all aspects of the brief with a unique look quoting from Indian culture. One good example is the main facade which has stairs connecting the different levels. These stairs are ordered in such a way that they refer to the famously stepped wells of Rajasthan in India. A local Singaporean Indian artist was asked to do the mural painting.
PLACEMAKING
PURPLE HAZE
NAIROBI [KE]
The project is located in an upcoming residential neighbourhood in Nairobi.
A major part of the concept for this building was to introduce an axis through the building connecting the street with the river at a lower level. This axis creates a route that passes along the common amenities of the building and through it’s courtyards.
These courtyards are designed as experience nodes with each installations representing one of the senses combined with a material;
METAL & HEARING
WOOD & TOUCH
EARTH & TASTE
FIRE & SMELL
In addition to the placemaking for the courtyards, we designed the interiors for the project.
The design can be found HERE.
