Planned to be built in the typical format of Government convention hall, the local councillor was insistent that they could do better than a cookie-cutter 'decorative' facade and really add functional and aesthetic value with a contemporary approach.

The building had to be devised with minimal changes to the existing footprint and built by a contractor whose had not undertaken a project of this caliber before.
The facility is designed to serve as a peri-urban district community hall. It is equipped with a small auditorium and multi-function halls to hold social events and gatherings for the local people.
The architectural expression draws cues from the surrounding context, drawing inspiration from the local terracotta temple forms- emphasizing the idea of layering through patterned fenestration and facade cut outs.
