Titan jewellery is located in hosur, karnataka’s industrial estate. Within the existing land they wanted a space which is condusive for innovative thinking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This space should be a green building in a true sense of the word. It should be naturally ventilated & day lit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It should be planned with minimum disturbance to nature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In form & function it must not resemble the existing buildings even remotely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was an unusual brief & a challenge to say the least!
|
|
|
|
|
|
A tree house was conceived. It is approched only by a bridge from the terrace of the existing office building.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The contact of building to earth was minimum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The two hexagonal cottages are supported only at 2 points on rc columns which are shaped like tree trunks to merge with rest of the trees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Porotherm perforated clay bricks, clay roofing tiles, exposed concreste for the columns, steel roof structure, aluminium windows, roof vents, natural ventilation energy saving lights etc.are used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It took 3 years to complete this building. This is a long time to complete a small project.
This was primarily due to the sigle support tree trunk columns & the RC slab which is cast at 18’ height.
