The Neighborhood Lounge

The studio quotidian realm focused on the everyday life as well as resources within in the domain of built environment and its intersection with technology, society and ecology.  The final design project, 'The Neighborhood Lounge' attempts to make adaptive-reuse of an under-used and neglected public building in the urban fabric of Bengaluru. The design proposes a place that becomes as an extended living room to this neighborhood. The new program offers wellness, leisure, resting, as well as everyday utilitarian commerce on the site. Thereby, the project blends in with the quotidian life of the neighborhood.
