This central area will offer multitude of engaging options including Dining, Cooking, Lounging, Reading, Relaxing and Entertainment for SSK resident guests. This will also be ready by Summer of 2020.Central Dining Area this block is meant to become the central attraction for all guests of Surwahi Social Kanha brining elements of amalgamation, harmony and liveliness with nature. Framed on the concepts of conservation of light, energy, water and utilising local resources this central area posed a mammoth challenge in execution with its 16 feet high walls.
It is a unique 7 side Heptagon shaped central hall room (including 6 straight sides and one curved wall) with GI sheet roofing sloping inwards creating literally a funnel of almost 10 feet diameter opening at the centre. This entire roof is pillar less supporting itself on multiple iron purlin trusses cantilevered on 12-16 feet stabilised mud walls and minimal concrete bends brining a sense of grandeur and obstruction free airiness in the entire room. In addition there are sky lights in the open kitchen merging with locally procured clay pots embedded in the roof slab providing an innate design experience. For geometry buffs there are lot of triangular openings in this Heptagonal central area few acting as windows while other as minor shelfs embedded in the walls. Last but not least the funnel opens upto a circular dugout intended for fishes or lotuses as a small pond inside the hall highlighting the harmonious presence of water, sky, sun or moon and air while still indoors.
