Adaptive Redesign
An iconic Goan home built in 1741 reimagined as a creative research lab and residency. We developed an open framework design for the renovation of the ancestral property; incorporating commercial programmatic schemes while maintaining a focus on architectural preservation and storytelling. From this expression of home came our design, and journey into land rights, material use, labor equity and the agency of space.
After scanning Casa Eva the 3D point cloud data was used to build an architectural model. Riley and Sherina took full advantage of the model by continuing our renovation design remotely, across continents amidst the pandemic. We teamed up with Ernest to restore the traditional terracotta tile roof. Through India's national lockdown and monsoon season, we designed, coordinated, built and installed a pre-cast bespoke concrete counter and sink unit.
Olio also worked with Woodpecker Studio to fabricate a custom teak wood cabinetry system.
