a
  "ganjam mantapa" is the sensitively re-architectured 'ganjam house', which was the ancestral family home of the city's prominent jewellers. over the years the building started losing its entity as a family home, the time had come to decide the future of the building. the family did not want to demolish a home that housed fond memories spun across the years. instead they chose to convert it into cathedra for auspicious occasions. conservation and re-architecture are sure ways to sustainable architecture. the task was to amalgamate a 95, and a 35 year old existing building and the proposed structure on the adjoining vacant plot. in the revitalization of the ganjam home, we have shown certain sensitivity towards the environment by working harmoniously with natural features. we aimed at consuming less energy, accentuating natural daylight, using materials that are local, ecological & recyclable.
