What Designs Me...

And He said...

Architecture is the music in space, as it were a frozen music.

Second year Projects

The Second Year of designing brought a sense of duty towards the society and the environment around us. Many constraints were introduced. We came face to face with the soothing northern lights... the chilly northern winds... the comfort zones... the climatic factors and many more concepts...


And the seed sown in the First year germinated.

The Second year witnessed the transition of us from the paintbrush users to the Photoshop, autoCAD, Sketchup and ArchiCAD geeks.
But the MAX was still to come...And as for the Designs, well, Spaces were evolving, and so were our Designs Concepts.
