Title: Community Centre (Mokila)

Client: Hyderabad-based developer + Gated community residents' association

Type: Community centre

Scope: Facade design

Brief: The residents' association required a community centre which was nature-inspired, simple, rustic, but also a local landmark

Design Area: Around 7,000 sqft

137' (w) x 50' (h)

Materials: MS (fabrication), glass, wood / WPC / PVC (interiors), wire-cut bricks
