 DENTAL COLLEGE OF JAMIA

Area:11696.0 m²
Year:2009
 rectilinear plan
encloses two large courtyards

In order to further reduce energy consumption, the treatment

clinics have been provided with full 80% north side glazing
that allows ample daylight to flood the clinics.

The materials used for the structure of the building are:

 reinforced concrete frames
 structural steel staircases and corridors
 brick walls.
 Stone is used for cladding wall surfaces
 structural glass for the north light window facades
 aluminum sheeting for cladding the brisk walls.
On the south side, the glazing has been
confined to narrow slits which run horizontally
and protect the south of the building in the
clinic areas from heat gain.
SITE
• The site given for the building was a neglected and
overgrown part of the campus. It had two levels and both the
levels were used to access the building for the public and
students.

•Area:890.0 m²
•Year:2010
 This canteen was proposed as a ‘Semi open air Café

The building block has a kitchen block to the east, which is a

fully enclosed space to cook and serve in.

As One walks along the length of the building westwards,

initially the eating enclosure is defined by two walls and a
roof,
further still the space is articulated by only one wall.
 All the elements of the building are defined distinctly
and independent from each other. The walls don’t
touch the floor and the roof does not touch the
walls.

This was the first steel building built at the university campus.
BRICK HOUSE IN NEW DELHI
The house is formed of three distinct volumes.

A narrow front block is clad in stone, with teak louvers and

steel frames sheltering the terraces;
a middle block is constructed of brick and concrete;
and finally, a concrete structure retained from a previous house
on the site.

One block was retained from the original structure that became
the service core for the new build, holding the generators,
water tanks and two staff quarters.
With the living areas at ground level, the upper floors hold four
bedrooms, connected by a double-height family room:

masterful composition of its materials;

 exposed brick,
 concrete and steel,
 complemented by teak louvers that bring pattern and privacy
to the architecture.
Raw concrete ceilings, exposed brick and plaster walls
continue the spirit of the exterior inside, while refined
materials such as white marble chip flooring with brass inlay
grid patterns and mild steel and brass railings bring a softer
elegance to living spaces.

The Brick House was shortlisted for the Best New Private
House category in the 2019 Wallpaper* Design Awards
