House 7_AKDA
Gurgaon, Sector 15, Gurgaon, India
Located in a
leafy, quiet suburb of Delhi, the house wasconceived for a small family. With a
client briefof a modern aesthetic, the spatial planning had to strictly adhere
to vaastu principles of planning. Theplot had been purchased with the same
thought, whichunfortunately meant a large blank wall on the south side.Not only
would this permit in a lot of heat, but also meantthat natural light
requirements would be necessitated through architectural interventions.A large
courtyard in the centre of the house brings in lightto the heart of the house,
permeating though all spaces including the large formal living room in thebasement.The
south wall was made as a double cavity wallto act as a thermal buffer. On the
upper floors, the cube ofthe house was cut away in the north-east corner to
create aterrace, covered with a wooden pergola. A largeparty terrace on the
second floor is created as a step-out space, while the service terraces are
concealed at the rear.Two contrasting
stone colors are used on the façade along with dark polished woodof the window frames,
to create a mutedpalette. The slender metal column atthe corner further breaks
down the cubic composition of thefaçade, while large panes of clear tempered
glass dissolvethe boundaries between the voluminous internal spaces andthe
large gardens that surround the house.
