The relationship between a built form and its inhabitants never stops growing over the years, says architect Khushnu Panthaki Hoof, as we discuss her latest work. When we work on any project, we constantly try to figure out what we can do to make sure that this relationship becomes enhanced with time. This ethos that guides Khushnu and her partner, German architect Sönke Hoof, at Studio Sangath, their multidisciplinary design practice in Ahmedabad, can only be accessed with a deep exploration of what constitutes joy and comfort for a person at an individual level and when he or she is part of that animated collective called family.
