CUBE HOUSE
+ Professional Work | Year 2016
The site is a part of gated community of affluent homes on the western edge of the Ahmedabad city. Set within a plot area of 7800 sq ft, the program called for a four bedroom house for a family of four, and to accommodate visiting grandparents and guest.
The project explores an idea that takes the ‘skin’ element of the conventional urban dwelling and transforms them into a new architecture arrangement.
The footprint is pushed to the extreme allowable by regulations which helped in creating generous back garden. The building axis running along the length split the site into two forming the primary circulation space, terminating into garden area facing the north.
Considering the hot arid zone and issues of thermal comfort, the living spaces are intentionally oriented regards to the light and breeze. Owing to this pattern of usage, garden space is generously scaled in contrast to intimate scale of the interior spaces. The structure is a combination of lime plastered brick wall and the stone cladding.
