Atmaprasara is a mental wellness facility located in Rajapalayam, Tamil Nadu, that was once an old ginning factory with three distinct buildings a factory structure, an office building and a residence dating back to the 1960s and 1980s, respectively tively. campus was designed to provide free mental health services through counseling, workshops, and educational initiatives.

The project, funded by Ramco Community Services as a CSR initiative, aimed to create spaces dedicated to mental wellness. The vision was to transform the buildings into a multipurpose hall, counseling rooms, and office and faculty spaces. Symbolically, the repurposing of these old structures reflects the process of mental healing, mirroring the  transition from decay to calm and peaceful spaces that radiate trustworthiness and support.

Key challenges in the design included overcoming the noise
pollution from the nearby National Highway 744, which led to the installation of a sound barrier and extensive use of soundproof materials to reduce traffic noise, apart from integrating different buildings having different usage and style into seamless interconnected spaces.

The design emphasizes the individual character of each building while creating a respectful and harmonious dialogue between them. It prioritizes the use of natural light and careful integration of the different structures, which have distinct architectural styles, timelines, and purposes. The aim was to ensure that the space conveys a sense of trust, openness, and   interconnectedness, ultimately fostering a welcoming and peaceful environment for those seeking mental health support.
