Usually “Kachari’s play a Pavillion-ish role in a humble rural setting, where it is used as a Muktab, A Meeting place, A place where important decisions are taken & Events are held.
The project has a gathering space along with an attached toilet and store. This gathering space serves as a multifunctional space for the families in this Baari. The design objective was to establish a humble yet significant piece of architecture which will serve as a conceptual doorway to the Baari, with spaces of purpose and walls with companionship in mind. People can gather on its plinth and sit along the designed seating-storage fused walls. The project has operable louver system for the purpose of ventilation.
