AVSRC DORMITORY

AVSRC COMPLEX, NEW CREATION, AUROVILLE

 

Area: 200 sqm

Year: 2018

Location: New Creation, Auroville

Type: Public - Dormitory

​

We constructed a roofing structure for the existing AVSRC building and are constructing a dormitory and a house for a vlounteer. This project is a part of the 50th Anniversary of Auroville celebration. The structure is designed in a way that it compliments the Indoor stadium structure right in front of it and can be functionally used by audience to enjoy the basketball games with a great open view of the court, As a dormatory it is airy and due to the height of the structure the interiors are well lit and ventilated.

​

The Roof is a steel structure with curved trusses laid down all along the longitude of the building. The roof is steel corrugated sheets. The roofing goes up to 4.5 m from the terrace of the existing building. 

​

The space frame created is the one giving form to the structure. The curved roof helps in terms of strong wind and rain and looks like a mordenistic addition to the existing building. A gutter for rainwater harvesting is also provided to direct the rainwater to the waterbody nearby.
