Project:

• Twin units as an artist studio and guest apartment.

• Area: 7000 Sqft

Site:

• The site is situated in an artist village in G. Noida.

• The houses within the community are fairly closely situated and do not offer privacy.

• Visual clutter and disharmony. 

 

Design: 

• The design explores the idea of light and movement over the bare yet textured canvas of concrete.

• Minimalist material palette- to reduce visual clutter. Silence and contemplative space.

• The 'hand casted' concrete imparts a unique and distinctive 'fingerprint' to the units. 

• The design emphasis on an exploration of scales and interconnected volumes/spaces, by creating various vantage points as one transitions through space along with very selective openings.

• Twin house mirrors each other across the road. a gesture which intensifies the presence while triggering a dialogue within the whole setting.
