House by the sea in Maharashtra
Ashram Road, Ahmedabad, India
…Marooned
ship, long lost fortresses dotting the western coastline and unseen aquatic
life are some of the inspirations for this outhouse meant for family and
friends to unwind from the drudgery of city life.
The
anchor of the design of this house is a long curving ‘wall’ that acts as a
threshold, both physically and mentally. The winding wall in local basalt locks
the city into itself, liberating the living into nature. One passes through
this wall shedding all baggage, leaving the city behind and comes out on the
other side: to the sea.
Placed
between the waters of the sea and of the pool, the living is an open pavilion
lifted on a solid plinth containing private areas. The services are all tucked
into the wall and the private areas are in the semi-basement and under the pool
and deck.
Of
the many tactile experiences in this house are the massive rough Basalt stone
walls, the wood finish concrete walls, the deep dark recesses in the curved
wall, and the water, both bound and infinite …
A series
of strong images formed the inspiration for the design of this house, its
proximity to the sea made the design reminiscent of an aquatic animal or a
marooned ship, at the same time it came to resemble the old forts dotted around
the coast, reverberating with past practices and histories.
Above
the heavy stone ‘plinth’ sits a long glass box, a social and functional space
from which to fully enjoy the landscape. The stone ‘plinth’ houses the family,
functional and private areas, in a half basement, while still maintaining views
of the coast outside.
Every
room in the property receives a view of the sea. The seascape which is the
dominating feature of the house we exaggerated by bringing the swimming pool
through and into the main house, flanking the upper living room: surrounding
the inhabitant with water.
