Senthil’s Residence: An
oxymoron in architecture…
This project
saw us experimenting with the term “dynamic solid” and also playing
with the idea of opposites - of the
apparent and the real, of the present and the absent, and of the static and the
dynamic. Working with such a concept gave us a lot of scope to experiment
with form generation; to one that would intrigue the eye.
Just like one
needs darkness to value light, dynamism is dependent on the static. A cube was
the base with which we started. With due consideration to modifiers such as
lighting and ventilation, the cube was scooped, pulled, tilted, and intersected
(underwent a series of transformations), the objective being to effect dynamism
to the static. Both the skin and the structure were resolved simultaneously to
define meaningful spaces inside the house. Rather than looking at the ‘inside’
and ‘outside’ individually, the design was developed by mediating between the
both. Hence, the interior spaces are an outcome of the exterior form and vice
versa.
The residence is planned purely
on a utilitarian basis underlined with the principles of vasthu. Movement
inside the house is directed along an axis from which functional areas are
offset. Due to this offset, the linearity in movement inside the house is
hardly felt. Fresh air is induced into the house by pressure differences caused
by two open courts. These courts also serve to visually break the enclosure and
thus become relief spaces. The family with dining was
conceptualized as an informal space in between the two courts. With the careful
play of light the spaces are made to look extravagant yet cozy.
The
interiors are infused with vibrant colors that help in creating patterns that
reinforce the idea of ‘apparent’. The walls move in and out of the structure
for not just defining the space but also engage the mind on its origin and
destination- the ‘actual’.
“Means to the end is more important
than the end itself”. Even though the design was focused at the product,
it was the process that made the effort worth while.
