Welcome to Flock, a dwelling breeding the idea of coexistence. It is a welcome space for birds, birders and bucks; a habitat bubble for interaction. Tucked among the edge of wetlands and grasslands of Velavadar National Park it aims to provide its users a journey from the dry grass to the wide waterbody. It takes you through a winding path by ramps, offering you to pause and spot the fauna around.  Such a journey gives opportunities to take in the environment around not only through openings but also during movement. It shelters stopovers as well as travelers with a keen eye of birdwatching. A sense of enclosure and an experience of being nestled is imbibed by the sensitive use of bamboo as the skin of the form to have layers of transparencies. The spaces stage a hide and seek relationship between humans and birds. The machan, encircling the babul tree, is the destination for birds and birdwatchers, a place to interact.
