Aextremely challenging design
brief created an opportunity to work around the basic functionalitie n s and
requirements of a client in a location where time, energy, money and exposure
were unlimited. Agra is an upcoming Tier 2 town, with restrained access to
resources; one could dare to dram an idea and it stood a good chance of
converting itself to reality. Through this project, Archohm focuses on
innovation and fresh design to meet new urban challenges, while making optimum
utilization of space and resources.A tight site in an eminent
neighborhood of private residences results in a distinct skyline and
vocabulary. The façade is designed to establish a blank, bold and clean
statement; using it as a tool to express style, while respecting the privacy of
the owners and confronting the design typology of front gardens and glass.The house is conceived as a
complex composition of interconnected spaces that flow into each other. A play
of views is developed through fenestration that are placed strategically in
the form of north lights, top lights and structural glazing. An introverted
layout is planned with family living and dining spaces opening into a central
courtyard that lends controlled light and views into this private residence.
Formal entertainment spaces on one side and private sleeping zone on the other
define and shade the courtyard.An outer blank shell of wood and
inner perforated skin of white and glass complement to each other.The route is designed as a story
that unfolds dramatically. Ramping up
and along the blank façade to a sixteen foot high door, then through a top-lit
long and narrow passage, one arrives into the double height entrance foyer with
a gloating glass bridge. Moving ahead, one comes to the family living and
dining areas. The house builds itself into an introverted theme, which
converges into the central courtyard. A
story unfolds with each new space in the house. Stylish bathrooms fitted into
elongated parallel spaces with black and white design board. Elegant bedrooms
spaces with huge spatial dimensions, punctuated with designer Italian
furniture. An attached study/ entertainment room is built-in with a cozy,
comfortable environment that is augmented by dark wood flooring.Functionally, the basement
accommodates the cars and the services, the ground level accommodates public
functions, the first floor contains the private domain, and the top level
accommodating the intensive servant back up; this makes the facility vertically
compact. The independent servant and service facility and routing has been
developed, so as to keep the house insulated from any unnecessary traffic and
views.
