Navak Residential Building

The main idea behind forming the Navak building was to preserve the two trees without the architecture retreating from its active position. Architecture generally adopts a passive approach to the ethical encounter with the natural environment because it assumes that the active form is indifferent to the space around it. In this project, we have tried to reconcile these two approaches so that while architecture retains its unique character, it is also an interaction based on respect for the environment.
