Looking through the pinholes of terracotta jali is the home, all with green surroundings, nurtured with an airy environment and earthy interiors with a ray of bright sun. The residence is planned by exploring the interaction of the house and the dense greenery around. The owner of the house has a nuclear family consisting of the couple and their children, accustomed to living a simple and quiet life. While approaching this project, the main challenge was to incorporate an existing bank structure on the ground and create a house which feels close to nature.
The house has primary functions of drawing, living, kitchen, dining and bedrooms on the first and second floors. The brief was to make the space feel airier, and spacious with enlarged openings having a plot area of 1440 sqft. The client wanted the place to be multidisciplinary having a shop, an office, and 2 rooms in which 2rooms/shops are for rental purposes and an office for his owner on Ground Floor whereas the First & Second floors are for personal residence.
“The most striking feature is the terracotta jali of the west elevation,”. It’s the first thing you notice as you approach the home and creates an interesting visual for the exterior facade. The interiors being in gray tones diffused throughout the space, complemented by the natural hues of wood, play a key role in maintaining the harmony of the space.
