A Threshold

‘A Threshold’ formed in 2019, in Bangalore by Avinash Ankalge is a multidisciplinary design firm, having experience in handling residences, institutions, housing and hospitality projects, with having current partners Avinash Ankalge and Harshith Nayak. The studios approach is grounded in the discovery and research for contextually appropriate architecture, based on site, climate, culture of the place and aspirations of the people. We believe, the element of nature and surrounding context plays a very important role forming the idea of “Place”, appropriate use of local materials, crafts and technology binds the overall “form” suited in the character of its immediate “Context” Attempting at fostering spaces that gives each one a sense of familiarity while still trying to be ingenious we aim at incorporating people's aspirations, while keeping intact the contextual identity to create a “place of memory”. Studying and documenting various rich vernacular art and architecture, inspires us, and our practice seeks to bridge the gap between local and global, traditional and modern to attain timelessness in the built environment.
