METAMORPHOSIS DESIGN

A victorian style farmhouse  Location: A village near New Chandigarh Typology – Steel roof frame supported on a concrete skeleton. Prefabrication is at the core of our construction strategy, and the project management ties it all together. While the visual language of the home harks back to a bygone era, the construction process is anything but traditional. The entire structure is a concrete frame with a steel framed roof ontop - assembled with maximum efficiency.  Using such techniques allows us to deliver timeless architecture with modern efficiencies. Especially in remote or environmentally sensitive sites, prefab methods reduce environmental impact and allow greater flexibility in design without compromising durability or aesthetics. Internally, the farmhouse is designed with simplicity and elegance. It has large 16’0” deep verandahs. Architecture is not just about shelter—it’s about shaping experiences, values, and future narratives. Projects like this farmhouse allow us ...

Location: A Village near New Chandigarh A sweeping 270° (or more) view—interrupted only by a lone tree across the road. That’s what this elevated site offers. It’s also why a special viewing deck was added on the first floor, positioned above the Living-Dining area below. To the northeast lie fields that change with the seasons, bordered by a forest. It’s truly idyllic—this setting was the only and ultimate reason behind the choice of location. A typical slice of Punjab, where you hear the kooh kooh of water pumps and the calming chants from two nearby gurudwaras. The gentle sounds of rural life waking up all around create an atmosphere of complete serenity. And yet—just a few kilometers away, as the crow flies—is a modern food court with your usual suspects: Barista, McDonald's, and more, nestled in a high-rise tower. You could easily give Gen Z directions to your home using that landmark (or, of course, Google Maps). A short drive brings you to a village that covers your daily ne...

This is just one of the many possible forms — that can be created to design a truly unique cottage for yourselves, anywhere in the world. We're envisioning a single bedroom cottage that is in harmony with its surroundings and operates autonomously—powered by solar energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and possibly even cooking. Imagine solar cookers integrated into the south-facing walls, alongside solar water purification systems. Add to that small wind turbines generating electricity to charge storage batteries—perfect for running built-in security systems. Dedicated solar panels could also be used to pump water for daily use. The structure itself would be well-insulated, and the entire cottage would be a CKD (completely knock-down) design—engineered for portability. All you’d need is a foundation in a beautiful location with a great view… and you’re all set. So—what do you think? Interested? Tel: +91 9316511166

YOUR HOME   The Most Important Purchase of a Lifetime Your home is the most important purchase you will ever make. Probably, it is the largest in rupees; certainly, it is the one that will most directly influence your comfort, happiness, and well-being for years to come—if not for life. From the time of its purchase, a good home means more to you than anything else you can buy. You may well look forward to it being the center of your life’s interests, most cherished desires, and pleasant memories. Its qualities will be perpetuated in the very dispositions and characters of your children. Surely, in considering this purchase, your first thought should be to provide the greatest possible practical assurance that your home, when bought or built, will be all that you expected it to be. The Metamorphosis Prefabrication Method gives you that assurance. The methodology takes the gamble out of building. It protects you from disappointments, heartaches, endless annoyance...

  The TRIBUNE CHOWK TRAFFIC can be solved without the use of a flyover, if need be.  But here's the next best SOLUTION - A DIVERGING DIAMOND CROSSING....... as shown in the sketch.  All it needs is a single OVERPASS on the major traffic road, and just 2 Traffic lights crossing to ensure almost the least disruption in traffic flow.  #chandigarh #Tribunechowk #flyover #metamorphosisdesign

  This farmhouse located in grassroots rural India near Sirsa, Haryana, shows how good design can harmonize timeless aesthetics with rural practicality.  The ground floor features several shaded verandahs that provides relief from the harsh sun  A key feature of the design is its solar orientation—the placement of windows ensures maximum winter sun and minimal summer heat gain, reducing reliance on mechanical systems. Landscaping uses native plantings to create a low-maintenance, verdant buffer around the home while integrating the built form into the surrounding fields.  Plumbing was designed with grassroots sensibilities—simple gravity-based systems, soak pits, and water reuse strategies reduce environmental impact and maintenance effort.  Sustainability was also addressed through methods such as rainwater harvesting and passive cooling techniques,  Cutting-edge design need not be high-tech when it responds sensitively to its surroundings.  This farm...

THE SWIMMING POOL AT GAJ RETREAT- GARHSHANKER It was a windfall moment – the spot chosen for the location of the new swimming pool at the Gaj ended up as a treasure trove for a huge quantity of white stones, which actually should be called boulders. The shape of the site decided the shape of the pool for us – the layout of which was done in a jiffy – using std PVC conduits as teh only measuring tool. The pool is a product of squares of 3 m side randomly arranged to fit the available space in the vacant area left between the cottages – and it turned out to be quite a design. 3 partly sunk pavilions were made at the pool's corners – to accommodate fireplaces with seating surrounding it. A set of stairs led down to each of these suunken pavilions – giving one a great feeling of being almost at the water level. Of course, one could walk down into these pavilions with shoes and clothes on............!!! Meanwhile, the concept was to create various corners or alcoves where families could...
