The studio aimed to design a Climate Research Institute that would consider factors such as climatic conditions, the context of the site, and, most importantly, be responsive to the comfort of researchers' daily lives.  The beginning weeks of the project were spent on case studying various climate-responsive buildings and their relations with the sites. The project site is located in Goa and the building design aims to inherit aspects such as orientation, landscape layout, wind directions, and sun paths. The design process included conceptualizing with models till producing working drawings with details of the door and windows of the resident unit.
