The house brief demanded a combination of three separate households, where two are for one family while the third one is for the tenants.

The project explores the idea of dematerializing a large volume into smaller inter-connected volumes. A spatial configuration where homes are interconnected yet have their own respective territories.

The form of the house is derived through careful study of sun movements and opening. Hence allowing maximum sun during winters while shade and views of the green during summers.
-
The resultant form ( combination of smaller volumes) is further reinforced through the usage of materials.
-
The design as a modern interpretation of courtyards in a traditional home 'haveli'
