What was kept, what was cut, what was added · Ritikaa Wood Experience Centre, Bangalore · 5/8

Cutting and carving into, and then extending the existing building, we were happy to have @manjunath.bl on our team, whose 3d illustrations of demolition and new structural intervention helped visualise the process.
 
Kept: the minimum existing load-bearing walls of the bungalow,

Cut: enlarged doors and windows, widened internal connections between rooms, a new skylight in the existing roof.
 
Added: Timber, as structure/ cladding material here: ceilings, decking, cladding and handrails. A new spiral stair in steel and timber. Timber posts and rafters around the sunken court, fastened with steel connectors, and a glazed timber lantern above the skylight.
