The reflections of light from the surrounding water body at various times of the day is trapped into this Spiritual Centre through aptly designed facade fenestration.

ARKINDโ€™s design through meticulous modelling of the curves, slope and facade slits, filter in the movements of the reflected light to enhance the spiritual experience of internal spaces.

The design uses the combination of topography and effects of reflection to camouflage the development. The flora and fauna of the region is least disturbed by the development, keeping the eco-system intact. Well Studied design of facade, finishes selection for the structure, treatment of transitional spaces and interweaving of agricultural planting enhance the impact of the designed reflections.

This project is a โ€˜sigh of reliefโ€™ from the majority of โ€˜nature contrastingโ€™ loudly painted buildings in the hilly region.

ARKINDโ€™s award winning design for this resort in Ooty, uses reflections in water body to create a double fold illusion of spaciousness.

The constrained swimming pool reflects the single storey cottages in an angle, thus visually making the pool edge seamless and expansive. The cottages in juxtaposition to one another gradually disappear and merge with the land form. The effect of the reflection increases the visual impact of the cottages as well, making them seem to extend to the horizon.

The site of this project, being divided into various parcels placed a tough challenge to the designer. However, through rigorous planning exercises the pool and various and buildings were positioned such that they merge into each other and with the challenging topography of the site.

This residence at the edge of the lake is blessed with scenic view of sunset. ARKINDโ€™s design manages the layouts of volumes to visually translate in the view of sunset to all open spaces and circulation area in the residence. The fenestration, water features and transitional spaces are designed such that glimpses of the sunset and lake are visible from every non-private space, through apt use of subtle reflections. Natureโ€™s varying hues are thus brought into the residence creating surprising effects of light and shadow during various times and seasons.

ARKIND uses 'Reflections' as a design tool to complement nature and evoke curiosity with a WOW effect at no extra costs. The design of the Craft Hospitalโ€™s new block also involved the integration of existing scattered buildings on the campus. Here are design depicts the corporate logo of the client as a fountain in the landscaped roundabout. The design of the building faรงade glazing and location of the roundabout for traffic management complement each other to reflect an abstract of the logo at the entrance of the hospital. The reflected logo catches the vision of visitors from the main entrance road, well before the fountain reveals itself.
