UA工作室设计了一个社区交流中心，外观为混凝土材质，位于印度Ahmedabad的一个住宅区内，该社交中心周围环境优美，可举办多种活动，包容性极强，有效地促进居民之间的联系。该建筑形象类似展馆，由多个方形体块互相交接形成。

该建筑结构分明，部分柱子采用圆柱子与楼板交接。建筑上层有围护结构，是一个实体空间，与其下层的由柱子支撑起来的灰空间形成明显的虚实对比。灰空间的存强调了实体空间的边界感。

UA Lab has developed the Concrete Shell, a serene social space hosting various community activities within a vertical housing complex in Ahmedabad, India. It features an inclusive design fostering interactivity and accessibility, taking shape as a single concrete pavilion with varied volumes of interconnected spaces.
A simple assembly of vertical linear circular columns and horizontal flat slab is employed, with the volume on the first floor designed as a solid block in contrast to the configuration of circular columns on the ground floor. Freestanding, they loosely define the boundaries of the partially enclosed space.

建筑的首层为架空空间，二层是实体空间，实体面积是一层的2/3，也就是说底层1/3面积是两层架空，这种虚实对比能够强化空间感，带给居民全新的体验。另外，UA工作室对比材料也是精挑细选，建筑外观采用裸露的混凝土材料，不加任何颜色修饰。

这种做法可以更好地使建筑与周围环境相互融合。建筑周边枝叶繁茂，为了突出建筑，设计师在建筑上设计了红色外挂楼梯，场地内设计有蓝色水池，与周边环境互为衬托。

The first floor level spans two-thirds of the horizontal space, leaving the remaining third as a double height volume. This contrast of mass to void creates an interesting dynamic of space, accentuating each individual’s experience. Further, the team at Gujarat-based UA Lab has utilized natural flooring materials with an exposed concrete finish, consciously not adopting any colors for a discreet finish.
Hence, the entire Concrete Shell pavilion seems to merge with the surroundings, engulfed in the greens of the tree canopy, shrubs, and the lawn. A vivid blue mosaic adorning the pool area enlivens the scheme, complementing the striking red staircase.
