Typology Residential

Team Ramanathan Ramasamy, Nitya RL, Alankrit Rajagopalan

Area 2,400 sq.ft

Status Construction


The design has been created along the terrain to embrace all attributes of nature. The volume evolves from a shell, that further instills other functional volumes at varying levels to appreciate the tranquil surroundings. The harmonious coexistence of solids and voids allows the user to experience the versatility of each space.




The natural terrain is weaved into habitual spaces on the ground level, such that it projects a notion of continuity from nature to the volumes. The linear perforated mass that floats on the top-level directs the focus of the user to the astounding views along the north axis. The shell creates a buffer such that the space within holds privacy while creating an ambiguity between the openness and the sky. The fenestrations across all façades are placed strategically ensuring a beautiful interaction by framing the light and shadow across the volumes.
