The site for this house lies along a busy arterial road and is on the peripheral edge of an extensive plotted development for private homes. The house is planned alluding to the traditional Indian courtyard house in response to the climate of the location. The extensive requirements of the 6 bedroom house are interspersed with sheltered open terraces and landscaped gardens around a 2 floor high naturally ventilated courtyard. Built almost entirely in raw concrete, a natural palette of sandstone and wood with muted colors, vivid Indian art and landscape are brought together.
