PaddyVerse
A rice-museum and learning shed sitting on the paddy edge — gable timber screens against a brick warehouse.
PaddyVerse is a small public building on the edge of a working rice field. The brief asked for two functions — a one-room rice museum and a covered classroom for the village school — and the design accommodates both under three pitched-roof bays of different heights, so that the silhouette reads as a small hamlet rather than a single object.
The street face is a quiet brick wall printed with a single word — "PaddyVerse" — while the paddy face is opened up with full-height timber screens that let evening light wash across the rice. A long water channel along the front recalls the paddy irrigation ditches and doubles as a children's wading pool in summer.
