ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIOSIDDANTH SATYAPAL RAO
ABOUT
Throughout my schooling in architecture, i have learnt that design is never consistent. The process of starting and finishing a design varies for different disciplines. Concepts and philosophies can be either functional or hypothetical and framing concepts depends on various factors like location, culture and tradition, or it can be as simple as reflecting the surrounding.
Deriving Concepts
I am an architect and have been in the construction field since 2015. I find myself to be a punctual and a hardworking individual and can blend with any sort of work environment. I appreciate innovations in design and would welcome even unrealistic ideas, because everything from simple tools to technologically advanced innovations was once an unrealistic idea in the minds of pioneers.
Myself
There is no specific philosophy binding to my design process. “I believe that a designer’s mind must be open and unbaised to every possibility and must be able to grasp and evolve every suitable idea.”
Design Philosophy
In the following pages you will come across some of my work samples which includes my research project, a sample of my school project, my work samples and accomplishments during internship and after graduation.

The concept is centered on the benefits of low rise housing community, since highrise residences lose the essence of community gathering. Various options were developed to understand which one suits best for the site in terms of climate and site surrounding.

The design was challenging as it limited the percentage of groung coverage. Therefore, ample landscaped areas had to be provided within the complex.
The development finally included a better view developed within the residential complex. Units included 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, a block consisting of studio apartments and 5 villas. The gymnasium was located centrally in order to provide convenient access to all residential units.

BRANDED EXECUTIVE APARTMENTS
Major concern underlining the design was the view for each unit. The building’s “V” shape is able to provide maximum view of the sea side. However, the introvert view will include the main road. Every unit is designed at an angle to incorporate maximum view.
Design Concept
The design was expected to follow modern style and yet preserve the identity of the islamic world. Ther perforated skin on the facade, sought to matintain the islamic essence to the contemporary form. The mass protruding to highlight the “V” also plays an inportant role in maintaining the islamic identity.

Design Concept
The mjor concern for planning was to incorporate maximum view towards the sea. The shape of inverted “Z” seems to be a reasonable base for designing, considering site costraints and requirements.

Design Brief
The task given to me was to prepare layouts for the studio apartments, design aminity spaces and design office spaces for the mezzanine floor. The building consists of units with different areas, primarly classified to 40sqm and 60sqm units. The mezzanine included a game room, a business center and an auditorium.
It was necessary to follow standard bylaws for Delux Hotel while designing. Hence provision of souvineer stall, a restaurant, a bar was necessary and a makeshift multi-purpose hall was necessary.
