FINAL OUTCOME
By rotating the similar modules on a different axes replicated this pattern, visually balancing the overall design.
This project is still under construction.
A minimal, neutral palette was applied to the existing triple-height lobby.
I was involved end-to-end, from conceptualization and vendor coordination to project management and executionfor a budget of ₹5 crore project within a span of 3 months.
CONCEPT & DIRECTION
Complementing the neutral colour palette and the rigid box like space- the challenge was to break the monotony.
The mobieus scultuptre - which showed both rigidity and seriousness yet playful was the inspiration
The firms' founders, Sripriya and Rambha, who previously collaborated with the founder of the brand Sagarika, Rock Paper and Scissor, known for creating captivating art installations with Liquid Ply, were instrumental in this project.
The idea of suspending these installations as a ceiling mural was proposed.
Samples were made to order in this scale to test the weight, and to gigure out how to install at a height.
Construction sites and wood workshops generate massive quantities of waste and scrap wood and plywood. These small pieces of wood and plywood waste were glued together and then turned on the lathe to produce objects with sinuous patterns. This is Liquid Ply.This complimented very well with the other materials that were used for the lobby.
