Shivaprasad & Vani - Mixed Use, Bangalore, Karnataka

The Mixed-Use Multi-Dwelling Unit in Subramanya Nagar, Bangalore, stands on a 9M × 13M (30' × 45') corner plot, embracing a strategic blend of commercial and residential spaces. Situated in the evolving North Western part of the city, once a low-income housing suburb, the project adapts to the changing landscape, transforming former industrial plots into a modern investment. With a basement for parking and ground floor for commercial purposes, the upper floors feature two-bedroom units designed for flexible use as homes or offices, ensuring continuous occupancy and income generation. The building, located just off Dr. Rajkumar Road, incorporates a perforated skin wall, crafted with lath plaster, fabricated metal grills, and exterior-grade laminates, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits, shielding the structure from the elements while creating an intriguing elevation element. The addition of a buffer space between the main building and the skin wall, adorned with plants, introduces a visually refreshing element in the midst of the bustling urban environment.
