Sitting amidst sprawling green surroundings and celebrating the grains, textures and unevenness inherent of its constituent materials, the space captures the spirit of the rural landscape.
The design was inspired from the rural landscape and the local arts and crafts. Traditional elements were revisited and re-designed in innovative ways to serve modern purposes.
The key research points were appropriate technology and relevant arts and crafts. The coloured cement plaster was developed through a trial and error method, and different samples were created with the help of the mason before finalising. The furniture and facade were created out of scrap wood, after consultations with local crafts-persons and carpenters. The local crafts had to be found and captured by travelling to the nearby villages.
The external walls were finished with coloured cement plaster. The intrinsic colour was achieved by adding a specific ratio of red and yellow iron oxides to the cement mix. Its application was intentionally done by hand, alluding to mud plastered walls in the villages. The facade louvers were made out from scrap-wood and suspended with a system of ropes and wire. Local pottery craft was used to create planters fashioned like earthen pots, which were then fixed in an MS frame in an opening in the wall. The internal ceiling was kept exposed and elements and lighting fixtures were suspended from an MS frame. Ropes which are a product of a local cottage industry, were used extensively in various elements.
