YEAR

SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
The inspiration for the house was taken from the large banyan tree in front of the site itself. Light perforating through its leaves was extrapolated into the design through the use of a vertical pergola system that allows daylight to filter through in a playful manner.
Located adjacent to a stream of Periyar River in Alangad, about 2500 Sq.ft. area, the house was designed by City Futures Design Collaborative.
The main concept of “THANAL HOUSE” is the “transition spaces” to connect the exterior and interior. The house blurs spatial boundaries to orchestrate light and environment into daily life.
The rooms facing the road are directly connected to semi open transition spaces in order to give privacy to the inhabitants. The transition verandah is provided with an array of vertical steel pipes to bring in privacy. The dining room is designed to connect to an exterior courtyard with a preexisting guava tree.
The main living room is double height. Its volume flows up into the upper living space. Thus a visual connection is established between the common spaces. This double height is in turn provided with vertical slits opening into a transition balcony space on the upper floor.
Streams of light penetrate into the house at varying degrees through vertical slit windows, vertical steel pipes, the wide courtyard beside the dining room etc.
