"The expansion needed to respond sensitively to three distinct contexts - its location on a major city road, its position as a frontage to the historic campus, and its edge along the sports ground."
"A new structure that floats above the old, supported by just eight cylindrical RCC columns that avoid existing activities belowâa minimalist yet strategic intervention."
The article discusses a unique architectural project involving a 50-year-old corporate office within a historical educational campus in Belagavi. The expansion was designed to respect the original building's integrity and historical significance while facilitating daily operations. A minimalist structure supported by eight columns floats above the existing building, creating 1,000 sqm of open office space. The addition features a verandah inspired by colonial architecture, enhancing user experience and climate control while promoting natural light and a connection to nature. The design integrates gracefully with its surroundings and the historic campus, maintaining a delicate balance between the old and new.
