Located amidst luscious tea gardens, the campus is designed to house a Training Hall, Office Studio & Residential units. The building with a pitched roof design is designed to respond outside to extend the training activities into the landscape and the space in between the buildings to absorb different activities during different times of the day varying in scale and privacy.
Editor’s Note: “Surrounded by tea gardens and quiet slopes, this ‘eArthshala’ campus embraces openness, scale, and sensitivity. The built forms gather light, air, and thought while the voids in between breathe in possibility. Here, architecture is mindful of and listens to nature, ready to grow, mould, and adapt to nature itself.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

This approach also confirms a campus built in a rural setup with many non-programmed activities anticipated by the PP team in the future.
The design intends to create an intimate yet expansive interior space making most of what a pitched roof can do as opposed to a flat roof in large-span spaces.
The recessed windows with built-in seating and storage below contribute to its intimate and inviting quality.
Formal articulation, nuanced color application, variations in the pitched roof form and tectonics, and refined craftsmanship actively enhance the spatial complexity beyond the plan.
