About the Project
This house on plot no 21 atop a hill in Sainik Vihar is designed as 3 bedroom house keeping in mind the Clients requirement. Road towards the North side of site allowed from a entry for car and pedestrian.
Slope of the hill provided challenge to design the requirement. Partial basement was conceived for three car parking space, utility and Servants room.
Foyer with North facing main entry, large double height living room, Master bedroom and guest bedroom both with attached toilet, kitchen‐dining with powder room made up the Ground floor. We go up to the upper floor by a staircase in solid wood around a central void glass railings. First floor was left for Son’s bedroom and his entertainment space. A private sit out and a common terrace added to the first floor. A Staircase towards the South side connected the partial basement to upper floors allowing for a secondary entry to the house.
The residence was designed with the Puja area as the heart of the home. Here all parts of the house communicate and the family interacts.
The external volumetric elevation of the house consists of a framework which loops all sides. The frame is clad with exposed concrete tiles.
Concept:
To build a minimalist house with simple clean lines, uncluttered geometry, fluid, transparent spaces where the interiors and exteriors blend into each other in an attempt to keep the user constantly in touch with the outdoors.
All rooms look into landscape courtyards allowing for interaction, which in turn extends the space to form large area of congregation. Space planning was perceived keeping in mind the Vastu characterstices.
