FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Iconic Community Project on a Shoe-String Budget
Firm Hall, designed by Vigneswar Vasulingam Sivanesan, is an iconic community project created on a shoe-string budget, serving as both a revenue source for the developer and a community center for the local neighborhood. The project, an adaptive re-use of an existing residential bungalow, stands as a case-study on how sensitive design and programming can add value to the Indian urban fabric.
The project's innovative facade system and landscape features were developed to add value, while the building was designed to cater to a multitude of aspirations, hosting a range of events from birthday parties to weddings and convocation ceremonies.
Adaptive re-use was a key aspect of the project, with the existing internal load-bearing walls being analyzed and smaller spaces amalgamated into a single large event space on each floor. The building was designed such that each floor could be used as a separate event space for three different events or could be used in a combined manner to host a larger event.
