Role: Principal
Collaborators: Independent



An extension to an existing home abutting the Marari beach at Alleppey, the project is imagined as an outdoor pavilion consisting of a series of hyperbolic paraboloid modules positioned parallel to one another.

Each module is made of a collection of galvanized iron pipes forming the structural framework for the vertical supporting members on the side and the roof framework overhead.

Since the client manufactures and exports Coir products (a local material procured from coconut fibers), Coir ropes are wound over the galvanized iron pipes as an insulator and it also establishes the knitted porous paraboloid form seen from the exterior and interior.
