    Description

    Her project, showcased here, exemplifies how architecture can be deeply responsive to its context—going beyond simply fitting into the existing environment to actively engaging with and revitalizing it. *Hosted!* serves as a seasonal residency program that brings together professionals from various disciplines. Each term concludes with a public exhibition for the local community and stakeholders, followed by a series of live demonstration workshops that extend the project's impact.

    From its material palette—sourced directly from the surrounding woodlands and farmland—to the spatial layout, which evolves from the form and memory of the original farmstead, the design demonstrates how thoughtful, regenerative architecture can be both functional and inspiring. The project highlights how sustainable and site-specific design can foster community engagement while celebrating local identity .

    About the Designer

    Jahnavi Jayashankar recently completed her Master of Architecture in Applied Design (MArchD) at Oxford Brookes University. Her final year project, *Hosted! The ReFrame Residency*, was developed within the Regenerative Design studio and explored the adaptive reuse of a neglected farm building in Scotland. The project reflects her strong interest in sustainable architecture, particularly in revitalizing existing structures through innovative and context-sensitive design strategies.

    Jahnavi brings hands-on experience in retrofit and reuse projects, with a particular focus on integrating digital tools to enhance traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials. Her design approach combines modern technology with heritage techniques to create environmentally conscious architecture. She was honored with the MAKE Architects Prize for her work in 2024 and is currently seeking opportunities as a Part 2 Architectural Assistant.
