This was our pilot venture into mainstream sustainable residential design, located in the densely populated suburbs of Bengaluru. The design was optimized to suit the small plot size.
Clay blocks and stone have been used extensively including in the ceiling, while use of cement has been minimized. This helped in providing the necessary requirements on a high-strung budget. The contrasting red and grey of the materials against the white washed wall gives a unique exterior identity to the building.
The solid clay screens with equidistant perforations present a 3-Dimensional canvas for light and shadow play.
