SAVA attempts to reinterpret modern tropical architecture with Thavi Cosmetic Showroom, integrating local culture & climate. Converting a 3-storey retail into a spa, SAVA prioritizes natural light and greenery in the proposal. Its front facade features modular fiber-reinforced concrete planters for higher quality and quicker fabrication. Existing central staircase is demolished to create an atrium, illuminating the space. A curved metal staircase is proposed with a green central courtyard. The renovation includes replacing the corrugated roof with a rooftop café surrounded by native plants.
