Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2015
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
BUDGET
$1M - 5M
Project Scope - Architecture/Interiors
Category - Residential (Villa)
Context - Private Residential Layout
Site Area - 1200 sq mt
Built Up Area - 650 sq mt
Status - Completed March 2015
The Weekend Home is a 4-bedroom residence in a gated
community with a built up area of 650 sqm, and has clearly
delineated visitor and private areas. The plan is a simple
configuration of rooms around a courtyard. This central open
space contains a kund and a large shade tree which breathes
life into the surrounding sheltered zones. The emphasis here
is on creating an ‘outdoor room’ which connects the house to
the landscape and also forms the centre, unifying the entire
composition.
Materials chosen are local stone, brick, exposed concrete,
timber and glass to create textures and colours which are
natural and bring warmth to the house.
The house has been designed keeping local climatic conditions
in mind. All full height glazed windows have been detailed
with deep chajjas. The west side of the layout has toilets and
utility rooms to eliminate the harsh west sun. The Living Room
West Facade is detailed with a 6’ deep chajja and a water
body to keep it cool. 300mm thick filler slabs with hollow clay
blocks have been used to further cool the home.
The brief from the client was that house should be conducive
for social gatherings of varying scales. As such, while the
rooms spill out to the central court, this in turn connects to a
larger lawn area. An external staircase connects to terraces
at different levels so that there is a potential for activity in
several pockets, while still connecting to the central court.
