The area surrounding the Siri Fort in Delhi is steeped in history. Thought to be nearly a thousand years old, the ruins have been only partially excavated, while the rest of the protected area is a forest full of mature trees. The views are serene and splendid for the handful of properties that overlook the verdant fort. Lining the north side is a row of houses that squarely face the ruins. Abhay Khatri The building is nearly half a century old, and multiple owners have renovated the ground floor several times. On the first visit, it was hard to see whether the building had “good bones” - the floor & ceiling were both on multiple levels, there was stuff piled high in every room, and there was evidence of water damage a...

The Eureka Urban Development is located to the south-west of Castelnau-le-Lez, a municipality of the Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole conurbation. The development of the lots, until now composed of abandoned agricultural lands, is an opportunity to redefine the boundary of the Montpellier agglomeration on the agricultural landscape and natural woodlands, including notably the Domaine de Verchant located 300m to the north of the site. The site sits along the Lironde, an intermittent stream of the Lez’ catchment area and its riparian woodland. A re-naturing project of the Lironde aims to recreate ecological corridors to allow free movement of species and reinforce the resilience of the ecosystem impacted by the fr... More

PS House densifies the inner block of an already dense San Francisco neighborhood (North Beach), while bringing an unexpected degree of spaciousness, natural light and connection with the outside to a small 1200sf urban house. It is a speculative project aimed at maximizing the potential of an existing dilapidated structure at the rear of the property, which was demolished but whose small footprint could not be expanded. The overall site’s void space is strategized in terms of natural light and ventilation, and includes three spaces: the courtyard separating the new house from the existing Edwardian building fronting on Powell Street; an exterior entrance passageway that connects this courtyard to the street; and an upper level south-...

Geode ADU is a small (640 square feet) recently completed accessory dwelling unit that supplements and contrasts an existing mid-century modern Eichler house in Burlingame, CA. The client's brief requested a design for a writing studio and guest unit, as a 'place apart' from the main house and also an inspiring work of architecture -- both in its exterior form and materials, and in its interior spatial character. The design response evolved as a very particular three-dimensional form, with a polygonal plan and a section inflected to both slope and view.  Helping to further shape the design were an unusually-shaped lot with significant topography which impacts the buildable footprint; strict zoning constraints regarding setbacks, size a...

Goto House sits at the edge of a meadow on a rugged ninety-five acre parcel in Napa County overlooking Lake Berryessa. The meadow acts as a clearing in the oak, pine and manzanita covered surrounding hills.

Fine materiality and its refined execution define this three-bedroom apartment at DLF Camelias, Gurugram. The highly stylized contemporary interiors of this 7,400 sqft apartment intrinsically embrace functionality while living up to the expectations and requirements of its owners. The client’s taste aligned with an immaculate, minimalist approach with a desire to achieve as much character and warmth with the space as possible, all the while retaining a sense of openness to it. However, luxurious veins of natural stones are creatively used to evoke a maximalist appeal to the expansive spaces that are minimalistic at the core. Geometric brass inlay works further to draw the exotic character out of the stones. Atul Pratap Chauhan... More

When faced with the challenge of blending the bucolic ways of living with the inescapable modern grind, Dinterplay Architects had a creative solution in mind.

Exterior materials include both stained clear cedar vertical boards alternating with blackened spacer boards, aluminum windows with clear cedar casing, and cast-in-place concrete site wo... More
