The client envisioned a space that would break away from the traditional gallery mold — a place where architecture itself becomes a medium for artistic expression. Located on the coastal edge of Goa, the building needed to reflect movement, creative freedom, and the fluid exchange between artists and audience. The brief was emotionally driven: the space had to feel alive, kinetic, and open to interpretation, while also offering practical flexibility for various art forms — from large-scale installations to immersive media exhibitions and performances.

Constraints were significant — the structure had to meet international standards, yet remain climatically conscious in a tropical setting. Timelines were tight, and the budget required intelligent value engineering without compromising on the visual drama or function. The client’s non-negotiables were clear: strong architectural identity, intuitive navigation, natural light, and modular gallery functions.
