Interesting Architectures: Origins, Koramangala.
I just love this place called Origins in Koramangala. Its located on the opposite side of and in between Indian Institute of Astrophysics and fabindia. It has come up in the last few months only (or at least thats when it grabbed my attention!) and seems to be a furniture store. Have to go in sometime and check it out. I'd seen it earlier twice from outside, and had loved it. Hence this time when I was returning from airport, as I had a camera with me, decided to snap a pic (click on pic for bigger version). First striking feature is open-ness of the store: There's no (tall) boundary. Secondly, it is nested so very beautifully within greenery. The architect has taken optimal advantage of the already-present green cover. The store signboard is a metallic one with minimalist rectangular design that adds to the trendiness of the whole outlook. To top it all, the crimson-red color combined with sorta-swiss glass windows provides for a very foreign/un-Indian kinda look. You dont really see this kinda architecture in India. Not on the main-street anyway. If you haven't seen it already, do check it out sometime.
