PORTFOLIO

Ar. Riya Rupesh Mehta

“Hello

I’m an architect driven by a deep passion for design and the way spaces can shape how people feel and connect. For me, architecture is more than creating functional buildings - it’s about crafting experiences that balance aesthetics, purpose, and meaning.

I love exploring how design can go beyond the ordinary, bring a sense of harmony, and leave a lasting impact on the environment and the people who inhabit it.

The Gaia Resort (Academic WorkThesis)

Acres 2022

Konkan-Murud Janjira (

This eco-resort project, developed on a 24-acre mountain site in North Konkan, is designed to cater to tourism from surrounding cities while boosting the local economy. The resort offers stunning views of the Murud Janjira Fort and incorporates a banquet hall with amenities tailored to the growing trend of destination weddings. The design harmonizes with the site’s topography, utilizing natural elements such as a manmade waterfall that complements an existing natural one between the site’s two peaks. The resort operates sustainably, with its own food production and electricity generation. Bamboo, a sustainable construction material, reduces the carbon footprint, aligning with the resort’s eco-friendly concept.

Concept Concept

Soul Of Earth

In the pursuit of peace, individuals instinctively turn to nature, and the resort becomes a haven where this innate connection is nurtured. The symbiotic relationship between the soothing surroundings and the soul’s desire for tranquility is accentuated, offering a retreat that goes beyond the physical environment. The resort becomes a sanctuary where the innermost yearnings for peace find resonance amidst the embrace of nature’s beauty.

Residential NIBM - Pune

Since September 2023, I have been actively involved in Lodha Bella Vita, a 13-acre luxury residential project inspired by Mediterranean architecture, offering expansive green spaces and a premium living experience which has 11 residential towers.

My primary responsibility has been managing Towers 5 to 10, overseeing various stages from design development to execution. I also contributed to the MLCP phase and later took charge of the newly introduced penthouses, handling their conceptual design, site coordination, and finishing.

Through my role, I have worked across multiple towers, ensuring smooth project execution while maintaining design integrity and quality standards.

Assisted Housing (Academic Work)

Acre

The objective of this project was to design a housing which consisted of 1BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK, 4BHK, Rowhouses & Semi-Detached units in this project site of 8.2 acres. Keeping in mind breathability in spaces double volumeterraces, creeper screen were used.

The concept of assisted housing is to create shared spaces which would affect the social life of people. In today’s time it is very important to interact with people of all age groups in order to affect the human psychology for good. Communal spaces on ground and also in the apartments would help contribute this concept. Designing circulation routes that offer spots for meeting and chit chating, offering identity to common spaces and creating the landmarks in the building, not only providing green spaces on ground level but also providing them on vertical level

The interlocking allows a double-height terrace and entryway despite being a single-level apartment. The double-volume terraces create an outdoor garden quality.

Site Section

Creeper screens are applied to otherwise blank walls to create visual delight, absorb sunlight and carbon and create oxygen in the dense urban environment. Most available horizontal and vertical surfaces are landscaped;
