Project 58 stands at a junction in our practice where architecture (finally) becomes porous and the landscape takes over. While one of the (larger) intents of our process has always been merging landscape with the built forms at all levels, this helped us push it in totality, thanks to the owners who became a part of the process completely. Seen here are some moments of the private villa, shot beautifully by @ashishsahi . More on the project soon.

The School of Architecture & Planning at Manipal, captured beautifully by @suryananddang @suryansaurabh and many more to go. The building opens up once you walk in and responds completely to the massive contour/drop which offers spectacular views of the valley. Hope to break the whole process down and share them when we find time, especially of the spaces that go beyond the Facade! #thepurpleinkstudio #msap #Manipal #manipaluniversity #schoolofarchitecture #architecturecampus #indianarchitecture #brickwaves #designschool

People driven Process at the Brick House : While the design intent right from the start (read: Physical Models being done during the concept stage) was clear that the project would require 2 levels of Intense Collaborations. One being the teams that would work on the craft, making every single intent happen, we also needed an Ambitious Client who would have a lot of Patience. The project also looked at pushing the boundaries of materiality using only Brick and Variations of Plaster throughout. Seen here are some pictures before and after the construction.

Purpleink x Atlanta Wellness (In Continuation) From the outside, the built form remains almost unseen, the insides are a play of volumes that amplify as they approach the openings facing the lake. The structure, crafted in steel with an exposed brick skin on both sides, embodies a subtle yet powerful connect which extends into the interiors. #ModernIndianArchitecture #WellnessHome #LakeViewDesign #ThePurpleInkStudio #ArchitecturalNarrative #SteelAndBrick #Atlanta @arpitadpai @pai.aditi @thedesignmonger @anabanana_007_ @nivya_joseph_ @uday.aggarwal_ @nishita_bhatia
