Adaptive Reuse

Shreya Krishnan, Lavanya Murugaiyan

The Rowhouse is a building from the 1930s that has been adaptively reused and intended as a community+design hub, which will provide a platform for design/urban development professionals to collaborate. It will host curated talks, exhibitions and workshops, and kickstart initatives that will spotlight diverse perspectives on the city and neighbourhood. Traditional lime plaster techniques and oxide flooring have been used to honour the existing context and built heritage of the neighbourhood.
