VALPOI BUS STAND AND • Government of Goa proposes to construct a multi-utility public building in Valpoi,

VALPOI, GOA, INDIA
• It had to include a Bus Stand, a Community Hall and a Children Park with a
Jogging track.
ARCHITECT:
RAHUL DESHPANDEY & • The Building complex required to be maintenance free and in low budget, with all
ASSOCIATES units independent in their operations, function and administration.
YEAR: 2013 • The plan therefore is Compact, less Porous, yet Open in its attitude, well
ventilated and adequately lit.
• The Security House and the Toilet block though separate units
blend into the fabric of design.
“The journey is more important than the destination”- precisely the notion of
the design. Through a labyrinth of laterite wall passages you reach the
Community hall welcoming you with its vastness and silence. The decor is
minimal, the lighting cleverly restrained and space wonderfully sublime.
