Serene, stretched out in a single floor where spaces are evolved open to the nature and well suited to the contextual climate, it is designed to be very minimal for a family of three. It holds the character of serenity, providing a calm zone. The concept of the project evolved as space emerging from landscape by beneficially incorporating the natural elements to the design.
The random rubble masonry wall enclosure is locally quarried granite that provides the interior spaces thermal comfort, when weathered over time camouflage itself with the surrounding.
The entry highlights the rubble wall creating a space of interest in the beginning itself. The wall is continued throughout the inner courtyard. The random rubble masonry wall along the patio look like a compound wall, act as privacy.
The surface is kept natural and its texture was kept rough. The whole quality of space is improved when all the factors are added up. The spaces are visually enhanced when the materials blends in together.
All the activity zones including the living and dining are done with an open circulation concept.
All the spaces are free flowing and open and highly ventilated. The presence of courtyard enhances the beauty of the interior spaces.
