Umiam Lake

A lakefront redevelopment combining public recreation with a wider vision for learning, music, hospitality and wellbeing. The design moves between the scale of the masterplan and a family of small buildings along the water.

The wider lake masterplan

Development clusters follow the terrain and retain the lake as the principal organising element.

Music, living & wellbeing

Programme studies connect music education with residential and wellness uses, alongside hospitality and adventure activities.

The public waterfront

The detailed lakefront plan arranges arrival, recreation, food and cultural programmes as a walkable sequence.

A family of lakefront buildings

Distinct roof silhouettes give each destination its own identity while keeping an open relationship with the water.

The market

Open halls and a sheltered perimeter create places to browse, pause and gather.

Plans, sections & roof forms

The drawing studies test the relationship between structure, enclosure and the open public edge.

Arrival & construction detail

The arrival structures carry the architectural language into the boundary and entrance sequence.
