Up and Coming!

Recent photos from an ongoing residential project at Sonala village in Wada, Thane District.

The site is located within the Warli heartlands. It's a load bearing structure with a foundation and retaining wall in black trap stone and superstructure using local brick. The structure will be kept exposed from outside with recessed pointing for the brick and stone masonry.

The ridge level of the sloping steel roof is at 18' from the floor. As warm air rises up from the ground level, it flows out from the brick ventilators above the windows, thus ensuring constant air circulation from the windows at lower level.

These beams are cantilevered on the other side for a wooden deck facing a splendid view of fields and the Sonala village beyond.

The roof is being made using structural steel tubes and traditional Mangalore clay tiles.
