## About Featured

Before we draw a single line on a screen, we build. Whether it is balsa wood models for site massing or 3D prints to test complex geometries, our process relies on physical experimentation to solve problems of privacy and density before construction begins. This hands-on approach allows us to refine structural details, like floating staircases or screen patterns, ensuring every element has a purpose.

Our work is defined by a deep engagement with site and context. We do not believe in dropping structures into a landscape without understanding the local rhythm, urban patterns, and environmental cues. This featured collection represents a spectrum of our thinking, from adaptive reuse to new construction.

### Designing for Context
In projects like the 'Figured Ground' University Sports Arena, we focused on integrating a large-scale facility into a campus landscape, submerging volumes below ground to respect the city skyline while providing green spaces. Similarly, with 'Hoverspace', our design for a corporate office expansion was driven by the constraint of an existing 50-year-old structure. By creating a steel-truss volume that floats above, we engaged in a dialogue between the old and the new, adding capacity without disturbing the original footprint.

### Materiality and Space
We believe architecture is felt through the materials you touch and the light that fills a room. In our residential work, such as the 'Solid | Void | Solid' house, we use transparency and opacity to manage privacy in dense urban settings. We frequently repurpose what we find on-site, as seen in the 'Boxed In House' where we recycled timber from the demolished structure to fabricate a new staircase and bridge. This is not about a specific style but about building with awareness of local availability and environmental impact.

### Our Range
Our practice spans diverse typologies. We explore high-density housing with projects like 'The Treehouse' in Bengaluru, where we dismantled the traditional clubhouse model to distribute social and activity spaces vertically, creating 'sky orchards' and shared cores. From heritage restoration to modern institutional architecture, our goal remains the same: to create spaces that possess human scale, proportion, and a sense of uniqueness.

## About Thirdspace

We are Praveen and Namrata, the team behind Thirdspace. Based in Pune and Belagavi, we look for the organic patterns of a neighborhood before we suggest an intervention. Our work is a continuous dialogue between nature and structure, aimed at leaving the world a little better than we found it.
