Profile

I graduated in architecture in the year 2005 from the Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, following which I worked with Laing O Rourke construction Plc. at their Gurgaon office and their London office. Working at the London office of the Multinational Construction Company, I realized the value of technology in the construction industry and the role it can played in architecture and the design industry. I joined Mokha financial and industrial consultants in 2007 as a director technical and set up a branch office in Raipur. I was instrumental in the implementation of Building information Modelling (BIM) in the firm. We are using BIM platform extensively in designing and execution of industrial projects spread over Chhattisgarh and Orissa. The BIM platform helps in achieving better co-ordination with various consultants spread across different cities in India. Over the years, I have gained an expertise of designing and executing several large industrial projects spread across Chhattisgarh and Orissa, some of them include a Solvent extraction plant spread over 40 acres in Chhattisgarh, a back up power plant for M/s Balco , NMDC & M/s Vedanta to name a few.

In a desire to explore more in the field of architecture, I along with fellow architect Shreya Pal Sharma started a design firm named Raipur Ink, in the year 2012. The firm focusses on designing luxury residences and interiors. Since the inception, we have worked on individual residences with a built up area ranging from 500 sq. ft to 30,000 sq.ft.

Apart from valuation practice, I am currently holding a position of hon secretary in Raipur center of Indian Institute of Architects and also played a vital role in establishing the Raipur center for Indian Institute of Interior Designers Raipur Centre.

I have always believed that One should never stop leaning and exploring. In the quest to learn ,I have attended several workshops in India and abroad. I also did a world tour alone starting from India to all the way to Brazil. Passing through UAE, Italy, Holland, France, Spain, Portugal , Switzerland experiencing different cultures and interacting with people . I also have done several bike tours to Leh, Lahaul Spiti , Zanskar valley, Kanha ,Shillong , and Kaziranga National park to name a few.

I am also actively involved in teaching and take regular lectures in architecture and interior design colleges. I have also served as visiting faculty at NIT, Raipur from 2014-2017.

Name & Location: Nishant Tripathi Residence, Raipur (Chhattisgarh)

Cost of Project: 88 Lacs

Built-up area: 8600 sq.ft

Description of Project:

We designing a residence should create an identity as well as a setting that the owners can personalise according to their require- ments and taste. We belive in designing homes that are warm and comfortable even as they reflect the taste of their residants.when we meet with tripathi family they give a very small brief and some experiences with us.they required followed vastu norms,introverte kind of nature,modern look with minimum maintenance and they also demanding green terraces and lawn area for gathering.

The design of the house grounds the relationship of human being with the most essential elements of nature skylight, breeze and trees. the idea is a result of thinking out of the box with the house being closeted yet allowing the outside to penerate inside the house symbolically as a larged house it is composed of living room, kitchen, dining,pooja,hometheatre,gym and green terraces.

The concepts of openness is derived from segregationg the spaces from the most public to the most private which makes the central areas visually connecting area to the all areas ground floor carried drawing room with guest room,servant room its an most public area so we planned swimming pool area on back side of drawing area and we provide direct connectivity through first floor through interesting stair- case. so that area maintain its family privacy and its court have waterbody,landscape with levels and sitting area so its become very important area in house. we planned bedrooms on first floor with living area,kitchen and living area double heighted voluminous with garden area sits as an edgy expansion of the living room becoming another important open space of the house.we planned children room. with study area and home theatre on second floor so that they have his on privacy.The master bedroom toilet has a outdoor bathing area with landscaping and also have a upper levels open to sky so that we can enjoy rain in monsoon.

The courtyard is designed with 13’x15′ the house has been designed in such a way that all the living spaces and passages face open spaces and gardens which was also the main design concept since its inception thus creating a central courtyard its a major design element this also makes the design an introvert one.formal living room comes first along with two bedrooms followed by 6′ wide passage parallel to central courtyard living and master bedroom have big landscape terraces becaause this area maximum used which also adds value to the north side landscape terrace.

The house has big openings and skylights to allow ample light to be entered into the house throughout the day screens and deep green terraces protect these huge openings from the harsh sun.green terraces also become wonderfull outdoors spaces during relatively cool evenings and mornings.
