TARAPA WORKSHOP



Wada, Palghar



A perfect analogy for the inside-out relation of spaces, the experience

An extension providing shade to the south (entrance) side, and the use of materials well suited to

the functions, both indoor and outdoor, keeps the cultural quest of the workshop intact!


Area: Indoor - 597 sq.ft.

Outdoor - 500 sq.ft.
