The story of one political worker turned skilled woodworker led to the idea of setting up a workshop and material research unit which would provide a backbone for explorative and execution works taken up by Abin Design Studio.
The projections along the facade are designed as sleek boxes made using two layers of MS plates for heat insulation and are opened at top, with operable louvers, in a north-facing direction for cross ventilation.
The entry to the building is from the south-east side leading into double-height workshop spaces arranged in an open plan envisioned to allow flexibility in functionality and interaction across the floor plate.
Overall, the idea is to break the typology of a factory-like space and establish a language that allows the inclusion of stakeholders within the craftsmen’s space within an architectural framework that develops a strong tectonic relationship with the context.
