Vaayu Vihar—a name that embodies the essence of wind and movement—captures the spirit of your climate research institute in Mapusa, Goa. Designed to embrace the region's dynamic environment of oceanic winds, high humidity, and monsoonal rains, the institute thrives on the idea of harmonizing built spaces with natural elements. The name Vaayu Vihar reflects the core philosophy of your design: creating a sanctuary where the constant play of winds fosters comfort, ventilation, and vitality. With traditional materials like laterite and Mangalore tiles rooting the architecture in its local context, the institute's open spaces and wind-driven circulation systems ensure a refreshing and functional environment for its users.
