INTENT:                                     

We get it. Life is busy. There are obligations lots of them and stress. So much stress. And some days we crave a reset button where we can just get away and come back with a fresh perspective. Well, you can. And it's easier than you think to find ways to relieve stress. It doesn't need to cost a fortune and require a complete rearrangement of your schedule, but you do need to do it.

My intent is to create a space where people can utilize their precious time to spend quality time in INTERACTIVE SPACES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS through architecture as well as QUIET SPACES to rejuvenate their inner self confidence and to enjoy private individual time within a Peaceful environment. Spaces which help to showcase, enhance and encourage people's UNTAPPED TALENTS. Leisure spaces which act as the best get away from their daily routine, hectic life, heavy traffic and jams on the roads. LEARNING SPACES which helps take your mind off your never endings problems. Barring technology and releasing the related induced anxieties through MUSIC. Revenue generating places like A SOUVENIR for all the ones who finds shopping stress busting.  One way flow, EXPERIENTIAL SPACE that takes you thinking back in time on good memories.

My main intension is to integrate all these spaces with nature because when people are in harmony with nature, they forget about their problems and learn to listen to their heart.

OBJECTIVES:

•To create a peace center as the main focus which acts as a get away space for people living in today's fast-forward world.

• A node which caters to the different ways of rejuvenation and attaining peace to a varied types of minds, likes, and age groups through various forms put together in harmony within one delineated space.

•To create a space that has high value - by making it MIXED USE whose roots are strongly attached to peace making, cultural revival and extracting best of human resource.

•To develop multi functional built masses to sustain different activities and these activities in turn, make the built masses evolve and develop.

DESIGN BRIEF:

•Quiet spaces - Peace - Meditation - building obtained by single mode of silence, construction through natural modes of light and ventilation.

•Interactive and experiential revenue generating spaces – interactive spaces, café and souvenir shop.

•Learning center - indoor and outdoor workshops for music and art.

All of the differences in the above spaces, with their varied functions, demands, requirements, etc is aimed to be blurred with MUSIC as all of their common attribute.
