The main concern while designing was to avoid creating an environmental imbalance in the area as it was a low-lying region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1535781687528-NERABEHDEEYJDCJ4KBNU/JM_08571.jpg Projects Although the roof prevented rain and the cooling was phenomenal, the client was deterred by the atmosphere of darkness which stayed prevalent or was associated with the ambience inside traditional houses. Thus during the early days of the project, the client had made a point that the house should be a symbol of a new light, or a new outlook to our age old systems and beliefs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1552974763949-5C8EDDFSLPN0LMSDQ5MI/Tease+me+Cafe_Kottayam+%2810%29.JPG Projects The project was to renovate a café in the heart of the city of Kottayam and the challenge lay in designing in the cramped , area deficient space flanked by shops on all sides. The solution pointed towards a material that was wafer-thin , could be used as partitions with optimum space utilisation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1535977653936-SZOJX3H9HFPU216RBL28/_DSC1294.jpg Projects Mr. Biju Mathew’s residence site was at a slope with remnants of a demolished building. Maximizing the given area, the building is set in multiple levels to accommodate the family and to meet the client’s dreams in the most feasible way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1536868401170-SQVKLGCWI763DKCR8KOX/26060411_10154840619166991_23136825798862163_o.jpg Projects The changing needs of this modern society have made the role of architecturally aware interiors very important. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1535800478018-J86UJKTV47JDCA21NIY5/_DSC1864.JPG Projects Home is a partnership between the creator and provider. The creator being the architect and provider, the client. Nothing was more important to make a building like Kurien's residence than this divine and sturdy partnership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1535981388006-DDZ4HP1SWN6EHQ6HX5R4/IMG_9861.JPG Projects The Biennale Pavillion in 2014 was an auditorium for the talks and workshops to be held. The form of the UMBRELLA PAVILION folds like origami to meet at a single point that becomes the stage area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1535962084830-9WZDFDBP3BIBLQUK1LEW/MAT.jpg Projects St. George Orthodox church at Mattanchery was the first church of Christians in Kerala, set in A.D.1615. Years of negligence and encroachment left this historic monument in shambles. The head of the Christian sect of Kerala (His Holiness Moran Mar Baselious Marthoma Paulose-II) took a brave step in rebuilding this monument, keeping the foundation intact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1617466778447-7P75HXBLTFUXG0JP5MAI/1+EXTERIOR+1.jpg Projects The Jackfruit Garden Residence as the name suggests is a house for Mr. Riaz, whose very design arose from trying to retain the huge jackfruit tree growing in one corner of the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1641205899660-8RM9DM1SY52J1PNR7OM4/6.Exterior+Night+view.jpg Projects Perched on the edge of a mountain, ‘The Ledge’ is a residence in Peeremedu that is designed based on a dream sequence. The inquisition that leads one to walk till the edge of a ridge or a child-like whim to jump from the top of a cliff can be attributed to a human desire to walk ahead into the clouds even after the mountain is over. Hence the building has been designed as a shard that seems to be protruding as an extension of the mountain into the air. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1653295540759-NVNI66NHO8GYJF6UR4UO/unnamed.jpg Projects Wallmakers have collected a portion of the fabric from the weavers, that had been damaged in the 2018 Kerala floods that affected Chendamagalam to create a pavilion at the “Our Time on Earth” , an Exhibition on Climate Change at the Barbican Centre, London. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1673632421989-9CHCZ1MAB7J61RZ0DQWY/LIVING+ROOM+1.jpg Projects Chuzhi as the meaning suggests in Malayalam, ”whirlpool” are swirls of precast poured debris earth composite bottle beams, fashioned from 4000 discarded plastic bottles designed around the three large Tamarind trees on site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1709740286311-18I2L7L5L8UR0DNXV63F/DSC02422-Edit.jpg Projects Plastic has managed to snake its way into almost every aspect of our daily lives, including 90% of the world’s toys ,which is a far cry from the old Indian childhoods of outdoor play and wooden toys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1601732094759-XD32O6PFRQFGU047PSB4/17.+Night+View.jpg Projects The Pirouette House features the “Last of the Mohicans” fired bricks as an ode to the stellar practice of Laurie Baker with spaces that are made beautiful by the pure geometry and patterns created by the walls that seem to be coming alive and pirouetting around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1587579857225-TU10KIXXCJU9MW00CODG/1.Front+View+.jpg Projects Set against one of the silent hilltops of Trivandrum, the site was located at the highest point in that particular part of the woods. However, being a west facing site one would have to hold up a hand to shield their eyes from the harsh west sun. That ‘hand’ was reimagined as a slanting wall along the site giving birth to the concept of conceiving the residence as - Shikhara ( Peak) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1720190507088-YQEYJ8Z70V0MB8NAN2YV/STAGE+OVER+THE+POOL.jpg Projects Nisarga Art Hub is an initiative by a family of musicians to make a community residency where people can interact and congregate for art and cultural events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1700576077431-KPIHQXW3O8O4XDM36B1G/IMG_0671.jpg Projects The pavilion is envisioned as a passage cut through these waste tyres that makes one contemplate on the amount of waste we humans produce on a daily basis: 6,84,931 tyres. The pavilion is made from 1425 tyres which is the number of tyres discarded globally during the 3 minutes walk a visitor makes through the passage . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1760938677054-EKB8YTRPFMH1EDT8JTDG/SK25.jpg Projects The Bridge house is a habitable bridge in Karjat, Maharashtra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1770023678001-ZJB4HTY99BG4FUZOBDHV/ARP_2012.jpg Projects ‘Kulhads’ or ‘mud cups’ (terracotta cups) used to be a familiar sight at railway stations, used to sip hot tea or cool buttermilk (lassi) and eventually thrown away across beaches and train tracks in India. So when the opportunity arose to make a pavilion at the Miramar beach in Goa, as a part of the Serendipity Arts Festival 2025, it seemed apt to make a ‘Kulhad’ Pavilion made entirely of 18,000 ‘kulhad’s’ or terracotta cups collected from the local communities of Dharavi, Mumbai. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/1772523036174-AT2UYEAJNC975ESVZOK5/ARP_8623+copy.jpg Projects Tuticorin, a port city, has been the center of maritime trade for the last 2000 years. The sheer number of shipping containers discarded in the city made us combine two materials that are usually not combined: steel and mud. https://www.wallmakers.org/about daily 0.75 2025-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b898c15f93fd4377a835209/b281ae62-6900-4897-92b6-39d3b3cff5a3/WhatsApp+Image+2023-04-23+at+9.01.53+AM.jpeg About - Make it stand out Vinu Daniel at TED 2023: POSSIBILITY https://www.wallmakers.org/newsmakers daily 0.75 2025-05-19 https://www.wallmakers.org/read-me daily 0.75 2025-12-02
