This building was designed as the new canteen and food court for students at RV College of Engineering. It was envisioned to be more than just a canteen—a space to gather, celebrate, entertain, and cherish.
As the principal and project architect, I demonstrated my ability to develop a strong concept that addresses practical problems while creating a soulful space. The project showcases my keen eye for detail and my belief that a robust concept, simple materials, and innovative detailing can result in a beautiful and functional space, even with a modest budget, which was a challenge in this project.
