Studio Lotus

As we wrap up an eventful February, we reflect on some key highlights from Studio Lotus that have kept us busy and inspired! ✨ From presenting The Dichotomy of Delhi at the India Art Fair for Max Estates, where we explored the city's contrasts through an immersive installation, to having our work spotlighted by some of the industry's most respected accolades and publications–we're happy to contribute meaningfully to the larger discourse on design and architecture.

Placemaking plays a cultural and social role in shaping the quality of our cities.

“The entry point for us is the story the project seeks to tell. And a big part of the story is the process. And we deliberately ensure that this process is fluid and emergent, with the end result being the diversity we hold so dear.” Principal Harsh Vardhan discusses design philosophy, projects, processes and the evolving role of architecture in creating meaningful spaces with Rethinking The Future as part of their Design Dialogues series. In the conversation Harsh emphasises on how the cross-pollination of ideas, expertise, and perspectives—both within the studio and with consultants, craftspeople, and clients—drives creative synergy, leading to outcomes that are far greater than the sum of their parts.

Reposted from Biju Chirathalattu Kuriakose CAF Talks: Constructing Practice March 15, 2025 At Spaces, Besant Nagar CAF is excited to host two remarkable practitioners as they share insights into their work, their approach to design, and the evolution of their practices. This session will be followed by Constructing Practice—an open discussion on the challenges and opportunities of developing an architectural practice, the values that guide it, and how to build a framework that allows the practice to take on more complex and meaningful challenges while staying true to its core principles. Join us for an evening of reflections, experiences, and meaningful dialogue on what it takes to build and sustain a design practice over time. #architecture #architecturetalks #chennai #space #design #art #architecturestudents #architects SJK Architects Biju Chirathalattu Kuriakose Shimul Javeri Kadri Ambrish Arora Srivathsan Aravamuthan

Construction is on in full swing for Phase I (3,00,000 sqft) of Indian Institute of Art and Design campus, with robust planning enabling efficient, fast-paced work on site. Structurally, the hybrid of precast and metal, with dry construction done off-site speeds construction. Cladding on walls is limited, striking a balance between functionality and design. False ceilings are minimized to expose services, aiming for frugal, unpretentious, well-resolved building tectonics.

The new campus we designed for Indian Institute of Art and Design in Gurgaon encourages learning beyond the classroom to promote flexibility for digital and peer learning. Circulation areas are designed to be larger than necessary, inviting users to occupy and interact within them. We envisioned the corridor as streets, creating an interactive space that can be transformed into exhibition areas, allowing student work to be showcased for their annual and half-year displays. The public staircase, with its wide steps and multiple mid-landings, provides opportunities for connection and conversation. Every corner of the campus serves as an anchor, inviting activity and collaboration.

Our design for the new Indian Institute of Art and Design campus in Gurgaon seeks to bridge the gap in the city’s public infrastructure. Designed to be a porous, open-to-public, sociocultural destination for the people of Gurgaon, Delhi and Manesar, multi-purpose halls, cafés and workshops are strategically placed to be accessible during holidays and term vacations, creating community spaces for interaction and collaboration.

Construction is in full swing at the Sitara Himalaya Retreat in Manali, where we are adding a new intervention to enhance the indoor-outdoor experience for the guests. Connected by a scenic walkway to the existing hotel, this new conservatory will allow visitors to relax in nature while enjoying expansive 270-degree views of the Manali and Solang Valleys. Designed as an extended living room, this multifunctional space will feature an indoor garden, which can easily transform into a bar, dining area, lounge, or stargazing spot, offering a versatile environment for relaxation and entertainment throughout the year.
