A Pavilion near the Bandstand: Book Studio

The Bandstand situated in Kamati Baug, Vadodara, is a heritage pavilion in itself. It attracts crowds of all age groups and kinds. Inspired by this diversity, 'The Granth', is a book studio that caters to all kinds of people. Applying the principles of design, the studio follows linearity and a hierarchy of spaces. The design intends to make an introverted as well as an extroverted person feel comfortable. The studio gives a sense of privacy in public by providing personal reading spaces as well as open discussion spaces. The openness yet tranquility of the space is achieved by a sunken garden at the end. Every person entering the space, walks out with a unique kind of experience.
