In the small town of Bansberia in West Bengal, architect Abin Chaudhuri (@abin_chaudhuri) has replaced the 100-year-old Narayantala Thakurdalan temple with a modern upgrade.⠀
⠀
Chaudhuri, founder of Abin Design Studio (@abindesignstudio), grew up in Bansberia. Now based in Kolkata, 55km away, he had attended the Narayantala Thakurdalan since childhood, joyfully participating in religious celebrations, yet also seeing how people spilled out into the street causing accidents and traffic jams, due to its location on a busy corner.⠀
⠀
His design is a carefully tailored response to the community and their activities. While much smaller than the original temple, it offers much more useful space. The column-free interior and wider glass-and-steel door allows for an easy flow of people in and out, and now during festivities, they spill out into a courtyard with a new concrete bench, instead of onto the street.⠀

The low-maintenance structure was designed and completed within six months. While simple, it is also an expression of tradition and craft, as seen in the chunky lattice-work façade that nods to traditional Indian architecture.
