Text description provided by the architect. The client’s main prerequisite was to design the house according to the 24 wind directions. Additionally, there was a requirement to design 2 identical houses for 2 families on 2 combined plots. The master plan of the site is designed as a layout of two houses and a driveway surrounded by green islands. Both houses have central garden views and private garden views. The area near the house is designed as green islands with contours of different heights, colors and textures. Exposed RCC, exposed brick and brown kota are the main material pallet of the house, but we wanted green to stand out as well.
The house is designed around 2 Brahmasthans on two separate plots, which we call the courtyards of the house. The courtyard is surrounded by walls on three sides and has an exquisite screen on the north. When conceiving a house we always want to imagine a courtyard as we enter. The courtyard brings energy and warmth to the house. The proportions and textures of the courtyard landscape sum up the cozy yet open concept of the home.
The first floor features formal and informal living areas, dining area, kitchen, powder room and a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. The living area, dining room and kitchen are all planned on one axis with an open space concept. Both the living and dining rooms look out onto the courtyard and central landscape. The brick wall behind the sofa and dining room brings warmth to the entire atmosphere. The formal living room is the most dramatic and soothing space in the entire house. This room faces the courtyard. The artwork on the exposed RCC walls was designed according to the overall plan of the site, complementing the bespoke carpet and summarizing the vibration of the space.
The master bedroom and the house are planned with a timeless design language, taking into account the age of each user. The interior planning of guest rooms and walk-in closets can be adapted to individual needs. All rooms have plenty of natural light and overlook the courtyard’s central garden or private terrace. When it came to the interior of the house we wanted to introduce warmth and embrace natural light in every way possible, this was planned when designing the house. Every space in the house was created with fully custom furniture and a few bespoke artifacts and lighting fixtures. The artwork is tailored to specific colors and geometric shapes by talented artists.
The house’s landscaping design includes various textures such as cobblestones, lawns, contours, lotus ponds, and more than 120 species of plants. The sunken seating behind the second home features a beautifully grown Khijdaa tree that serves as the centerpiece of the seating area. The most soothing part of this house is seeing the green when you enter or leave it. The lotus pond is located in front of the main entrance, with many purple lilies and Badan canopy. The aim was to design a timeless premise that preserves all three aspects of architecture, interior and landscape.
