No Wallz - No Walls, Just Belonging

"No Wallz" is a reimagined shelter rooted in the nomadic lifestyle of the Maldhari tribe, where movement and adaptability are key. The design eliminates the conventional idea of walls, relying entirely on a dynamic roof structure to provide protection and identity. Spaces flow seamlessly, creating layered zones for both people and cattle., reflecting their need for both comfort and connection to nature. These overlapping layers of open, semi-open, and sheltered zones create a flexible, breathable environment — a home shaped not by enclosures, but by experience.
