THIS IS A MODEST SIZE BUILDING IN A SMALL SITE IN A
HIGHER INCOME LOCALITY IN MYSORE CITY.
BUILT IN 1985-1989 WITH PATH
24/10/2018
BREAKING TECHNIQUES OF STABILIZED
MUD BLOCKS AND FILLER SLAB ROOFS AS
WELL AS UNCOMMON SPATIAL SEQUENCE
AND OPENINGS ALL RESPONDING TO THE
SMALLNESS OF THE SITE AND THE LOCAL
MODERATE CLIMATE.
PERCHED UPON EIGHT COLUMNS, THIS SMALL HOUSE FOR A
YOUNG FAMILY AT A TIGHT BUDGET WAS DESIGNED
RESPONDING TO HOT MONTHS.
THE DOUBLE PITCHED ROOF WAS A RESPONSE TO THE FORM
12
OF HOUSES FOUND AROUND IN THE TRADITIONAL RURAL
MYSORE.
BUILDING
DESIGN
24/10/2018
The main living floor with living, dining,
kitchen and two bedrooms with toilets and an
attic study was all housed at First floor.
 The entrance level at ground have a small
entry space for casual visitors and a guest
room as well a book store.
 The ground floor bed room 600 mm
below the entry level is a large room
opening to a enclosed garden at rear.
13
A small area of about 15 sq. m
at northwest corner is used for
composting, rain water harvesting,
a sump well , water pump and
24/10/2018
UPS, rough store and gas cylinder.
 An open covered space is used
as parking and multipurpose space.
A small deck at first floor over
the entrance at First Floor and the
front green space in Ground floor
are used for summer evenings.
 A water14 tank, solar water
heater are housed over the roof. '
NATURAL LIGHTING
Natural diffused light using
24/10/2018
a central skylight, all round
strip ventilator openings in split level roof ,long
windows to light floors make the spaces pleasant and
bright with changing moods through out the day.
WATER EFFECIENCY
Use of sump wells and overhead tank manages erratic
civic water supply. Rain water harvesting with
centrifugal filter use 90 percent of the roof capture.
15
PASSIVE COOLING
The centre of the building has the
perforated stairs raising up like a chimney
24/10/2018
with a glass box ventilator on top.
 This makes the hot air rise and sucks in
fresh air at various levels. Even the walls of
the bedroom do not reach the ceiling to allow
air circulation at higher level.
The roof is a low radiating filler slab with
hollow clay blocks and screed concrete on top.
 This reduces heat by 5 to 8 degree
Celsius during height of summer. Between
external and internal temperature.
16
COST EFFECTIVE FEATURES
The curtain walls and internal walls are of stabilised mud
bricks made at site using the mud from excavation.
24/10/2018
The openings were of steel profiles of very small sections
with low quality wood with glazed shutters.
The shutter hanging vertically down can prevent breeze
letting in rain drops even with heavy winds. .
Most cabinetry and some cladding as well as sliding
shutters are made of recycled deal wood (pine wood)
boxes.

MAHALAXMI BHAVANA AT
MYSORE
Client and contractors: PG Setty Group
24/10/2018
Location: Vidyaranyapuram,
Mysore.
A choultry is used variously
as a marriage hall, party hall
and lodge and recently for
exhibitions, sales and even
conferences, thus the onus has
always been on a functional
agenda. As a commercial type, the onus was on the
maximum of efficiency and not on social, cultural and
19
other generators of form. The firm attempted to question
this functionalist bias
SEATING PLAN
The plan configured into two
intersecting circles along the east west
24/10/2018
diagonal of the site allowing the largest
possible space for auditorium.
The space developed as two slightly
elliptical cones placed at 30 degrees and
60-degree of axes tilts and intersecting
in the middle.
 This generated a sectional profile
conducive to good acoustics.
 The cones define the space into two
sections, one highlighting the front part
20
and stage and the other, the rear and
mezzanine.
Semantically, it may signify the
union of two (boy and girl or two
24/10/2018
families) or interaction of two
segments (panellist and audience).
The cones with skylights and vents
on top of each also could function
as chimneys allowing hot air to rise
and thus generate a vertical draft of air.
 The skylights also will enliven and enhance the lighting and
the general ambience. They could also provide interesting ceiling
pattern making one to look up towards sky while entering and
add to a solemn spatial experience.

VIEWS
ANDULUS SCHOOL AT MYSORE
Designed to cut off glare
and dust through a
24/10/2018
set-apart screen jali wall.
Avoiding windows with
drop down curtains
inside the screen wall.
To buit in stages.
Common spaces designed
as interaction
23
spaces for
students and teachers.

BROOK VIEW RESORTS,
MERCARA
24/10/2018
Client : Brooks view and benevolent Estates,
Chetalli, Madikeri 25
Lead architect: Shajay Bhooshan

The present trend in tourism and entertainment related
architecture, is that of reducing buildings into a series
of sceno-graphic episodes: images overwhelm the overall
experience of the place, with the ‘space-organization’
24/10/2018
exercise meant to be meaningful and experiential,
reduced to temporary ‘set design’.
 The firm in an attempt to give the band wagon a miss,
employs its own internal ideologies in pursuing the design
of such spaces: attempting a holistic design which is not
biased to the sense of vision, instead aiming to be
multi-sensory.
26
 Further, spaces and details are designed to endure,
and not be an ephemeral ‘vogue’.
Resorts design often use both authentic and
manufactured versions of ‘heritage’, for mass
consumption. However, in the battle between the need
24/10/2018
for novelty and the inherent capacity of traditional
images and motifs to meet it, the traditional sources are
getting depleted with over use of repetitive images and
facade treatments.
The proposed design aims to deliberately refrain from
resorting to direct reference to any traditional kind of
architecture, its imagery or motifs. However, the
attempt
27
will be to create a regionally relevant
architecture, one that is characterized by a definite
sense of place as against a feeling of a theme set.
