Competition Brief:
The aim of the competition was to design an ideal home which challenges the participants to rethink the basic functions of a house.
Narrative:
The house was made for a working business based Mumbai family who wanted the feel of a village.
THE PRINCIPLES OF PLANNING ARE BASED ON ‘YAMA’ WHICH ACCORDING TO HINDU SCRIPTURES IS THE ACT OF PRACTICING RESTRAINT OR CONSCIOUS CONTROL.
The idea was to create a spatial formulation which would help each and every member of the family to have their own sense of individualistic spaces which would be connected with each other in a very playful manner.
The house was to be a part of a retreat for the family in the pandemic times to be stationed somewhere near the main city, but still be away from the “fast” life of the city.
To give a desired earthen look to the building, mud based wattle and daub architecture was adopted. The multipurpose roof surfaces are used for circulation,
relaxation and ways to separate activity blocks.
