STUDIO WORKSHOP RAMAN CONSTRUCTION, AUROVILLE Our small workshop in the center of Auroville is a multi-functional space with two levels approximately 70sqm in total area with an abundance of light, this office was restarted by Raman in 2015. Its enveloped from all sides in the thick plantation with greens flooding inside the office through almost transparent enclosures of the office space. The ground floor functions as the office and we spend most of the time in this inspiring enclosure interacting, sketching, designing, discussing, meeting, progressing and learning. The upper floor is open from all sides and we are developing it as space for us to discover inner passions and put them into action. The open plan leaves us with all the options to play with. This small office functions more like a family and with Raman’s presence it becomes an interesting experience to work and learn while having fun. The occasional stories from the adventurous past of Auroville makes one feel connected with the place, there's a spiritual environment which keeps the workplace positive and occasional walks to the coffee place leads to deep discussions about life There are small work sheds with building material and equipment scattered around the office where one can go and study and get acquainted with the tools which are used to realize the design. It gives a scope for development of a connection between the virtual and physical.
