STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS
TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
MILANA : The core design principles of my practice is how spaces connect to people in a functional , aesthetic and mainly emotional level . When it comes to homes and residences in general , the architecture must resonate with the user , and hence the design process is user and context centric . This approach to design , both in form and function , bears focus on the needs and requirements of the user in a holistic way . Functional planning must consider spaces for work , fitness and leisure . The architecture must address the context so as to regulate parameters such as light , air , noise , adjacent buildings , etc , so as to maintain an ambience most optimal to its user . Emphasis is given to transition between indoor , semi outdoor and outdoor spaces in residences , this offers a quick escape from the monotony of daily life . The importance of this holistic approach to design is realized more during this pandemic where people tend to spend more time at home .
