Suresh Residence
State Highway 49, India
This residence is a sophisticated example of modern minimalism, thoughtfully designed around the traditional Indian concept of a central courtyard. The architecture is characterized by a clean, cubist geometry and a predominantly white color palette, which gives the structure a serene and sculptural presence.
Courtyard-Centric Design: The defining feature of the home is its use of open-to-sky courtyards. These landscaped pockets are not mere additions but the very heart of the design, acting as the home's lungs. They draw natural light and ventilation deep into the interior spaces, creating a bright and airy atmosphere while reducing the need for artificial lighting and cooling.
Play of Light and Shadow: A key element of the design is the strategic use of bamboo. Bamboo screens and pergolas are used extensively over the courtyards and walkways. This is a brilliant functional and aesthetic choice, as it filters the harsh sunlight, casting beautiful, ever-changing patterns of light and shadow across the white walls and floors throughout the day.
Indoor-Outdoor Connection: The boundary between the interior and exterior is intentionally blurred. Large glass doors and windows open up to the green courtyards, ensuring that views of nature are a constant feature from almost every room. This creates a tranquil, resort-like feel within an urban setting.
Material Palette: The design employs a simple yet elegant material palette. The crisp white walls serve as a perfect canvas, contrasted by the warmth of natural wood used for doors and furniture, and the organic texture of the bamboo screens. Polished marble floors in the interior add a touch of luxury and reflect the abundant natural light.
Volumetric Composition: The exterior is a dynamic composition of solid white volumes and recessed voids. This interplay creates depth and visual interest, moving beyond a simple boxy structure to something more articulated and engaging. The interior spaces echo this with double-height volumes, particularly in the dining area, which enhances the sense of openness and vertical space.
