Firm Hall is a banquet and community centre in Chennai, India. The project is an adaptive reuse of an existing residential bungalow at a busy intersection. The outer walls were kept intact, while internal walls were altered to form one large event space on each floor. The ground floor holds a family hall, the first floor a hall with tele-conferencing, and the terrace a semi-open pavilion with a landscaped garden. The facade combines a textured brown mass below and a white mass with screen patterns cut from aluminium sheets and lit from behind.
