With this house we went little crazy, exploring the teachings of Basic Design. The interplay of forms, space, volumes and planes is the dominating design feature. The feeling of sitting in a cube is unlike eating under 20’ high ceiling, looking up towards sky. We married function with these feelings of different spaces and added the dance of shadows to keep it alive throughout.

This project involves the design of a home on 70’ X 60’ site in a residential area. Upon entry a wooden cuboid protrudes out marking guest entry to the house, inside is a perfect 14’X14’X14’ cube formal drawing room. The living space is flanked by double height dining area which overlooks the neat garden sweeping inside. The tour of the house intertwines interior & exterior.

The double height glazed wall brings in greenery, shadows from pergola and the sky. This pens up the whole house. The garden is injected into the core; all private spaces are kept on backside surrounding the living spaces.
