Vaulted roofs above the garden

Ahmedabad, India

Sangath Architect’s Studio

The studio of the Indian architect fuses images and associations of Indian ways of life. In his words, memories of places visited collide here, evoking and connecting forgotten episodes.

Barrel vaults clad in white broken ceramic rise from a sunken garden of terraces, steps and water channels, with the drafting rooms set partly below ground beneath them. For the architect, the place became an ongoing school where one learns, unlearns and relearns, and a sanctuary for culture, art and sustainability that brings together research and institutional work.
