The home owners were looking to add a master suite along with adding an entertainment space in the basement. The proposed design looks at a tilted master suite wing to maximize the golf course view from the suite. The main living, kitchen and dining was redesigned to accommodate the owners needs of a large and growing family. The design utilises exposed steel columns and beams to accentuate the angle and forms.

Pricing set of drawings

The Doctor couple wanted to echo a house that reflected their south Asian heritage as well as remained rooted to the region. Hence the use of brick and concrete for the exterior while using playful colours in the interiors. The couple particularly enjoys long corridors, which is reflected in the bedroom wing of the design. The kitchen can be considered the the most vital part of the design as it’s centrally located and it serves as the main space where the owners would potentially spend most of their time.

This recently purchased home lacked well thought out planning in the mail level resulting in inefficient use of spaces. The family wanted an semi private Kitchen with modern finishes in the all the spaces. The existing staircase was redesigned after we suggested that was the best possible way to use the front foyer as well as to enable enough landing space in the basement. The result is a design that uses exposed steel beams to carry the load from demolishing existing walls while the kitchen remains the centre that unites the living and family room. The exterior remains fairly the same except for the use of large openings to take advantage of the beautiful view around the house.

This home owners wanted a well lit and up to date kitchen design while still maintaining the privacy of the existing enclosed kitchen. The proposed design incorporates a wood slat screen wall design that borrows its design from the cove ceiling of the house. The new design also proposes a plant room as the client are avid plant parents. The kitchen detail further accentuates the cove ceiling through a curved handle detail.

Construction Set of Drawings

The plot has an area of 1462.5 sft on paper. The site is a 30’x 50’ plot and is bound on the south and east side by roads, which are internal roads within the layout. The other two sides are bound by un-built sites. The Northwest part of the site had rock outcrops which initially proved difficult for us to determine the natural slope of the site. The site posed a fantastic challenge in designing a perfect home for the young family and after discussions opted to retain the rocks and derive a design around it so as to minimize the damage to the land as well as utilized it as a landscape element.

Initial Conceptual massing scheme explained by retaining the rock outcrops

Stabilized Adobe block making and stages of construction on site

1. Pictured above are two types of soil. The light colored gravel soil attained from site and the darker red soil purchased from the market. The blocks are made from proportions of these soils stabilized with quarry dust, cement and lime to attain the stable adobe bricks which could withstand the load of the structure.

2. This mixture is mixed with lime slurry, made into small balls and thrown into the moulds of size varying from 9”x9”x4.5” to a size of 12”x9”x4.5” as pictured above.

3. This mixture is compacted using a rod or by settling the mould with pressure by hand before letting it to dry out in the shade of the sun.

4. The Adobe blocks laid out to be dried in the sun.

5. The client sourced reclaimed windows and doors from a vendor to be utilized in the home. Retrofitting the current context.

6. The layout of the foundation marked on site.

7. The site after excavation and during the laying of the stub column foundation.

8. Adobe blocks after being placed in the first few courses of the ground floor.

9. Shuttering of ground floor lintel and sun shade.

10. Casting of the filler slab in ground floor.

11. The in built window seat and reclaimed window pictured above.

Ancestral house: Memory Home • •

UMN, Spring 2020

A house, as it is now, is a container of memory over time. An ancestral house is no different except that it is a plural typology which exists in parallel realities of time and memory. An ancestral house is an autobiographical container. The narrations collected across three generations in my ancestral house in Kerala, in India, revealed not just tangible realities but more certainly the validity of intangible realities of memories, spaces over time to uncover the meaning of “homeness” within a house. The project aims to discuss the study of architectural memory over time explored through narrative speculation. The result is a Memory House that transcends the physical known realities of the world into the memory realm of the ancestral house.

The Ancestral House

ABOVE: The plural ideas of home determined by time in the ancestral house.

The act of recalling memories transformed and reconstituted the self. Across all the narrations what was predominantly evident was the recollection of objects within the narrations and the memories of spaces.

"I remember sitting by the window with you and your brother in the old dining room. I could see the trees and the open well by my side.”

ABOVE: Narrator diagram of my mother identifying her “home-ness” and object association within the ancestral house.

In my time collecting stories and narrations of my ancestral house, a mere recollection of the events that transpired in the house instigated a conversation of the home and the self from the narrators.

Objects attribute to the memory of home and the people that make it a home. Hence a list of nine objects was found and each object becomes a passage or a portal to access memories that were once lost.

ABOVE: Sectional perspective exploration of the narrative discourse of the ancestral house.

Ancestral House typology that informs every succeeding habitable space

Home Informs the early development of architectural vocabulary across succeeding generations.

Self(s) Multiplicity of self(s).

Memories Embodiment of our sense of self.

Time Typology that has the capacity to exist in multiple timelines.

“ The Ancestral House unfolds a plurality of homeness in time, and memory.”

ABOVE: The intangible attributes of an ancestral house.

“The fans were so big in that house! Still beautiful.”

“Loved it to rea out at o had a d

“My aunt used to stand by the balcony all dressed up elegantly in the evenings so that she could greet her boyfriend at the time. She wasn’t allowed to do that but her sister used to guard her whenever she stood there so that her parents wouldn’t catch her!”

Objects are the ancestral hous unchanged as we events play o

“The front porch was a constant for our daily school work. Grandfather used to sit on his easy chair and we used to work on our math and were supposed to ask doubts to him.”

“Grandfather always had the radio switched on to listen to the daily news and it was on throughout the day. The entire house would echo it.” ABOVE: The object taxonomy of the “home-ness” within the ancestral house.

Hence, Objects a physical entity th this recursive wo life-

“It was mandatory that all of us had our meals with grandfather on the dining table. We used to only start eating once he started. Grandmother used to eat in the Kitchen though.”

“The easy chair could easily be the one piece of furniture that I associate my Grandfather with. No one dared to sit on it except for him.”

“I remember sitting by the window and seeing the well. Sometimes I used to spend so much time just looking out the window.”

“Granfather used to write letters to me and I used to save all of it. But somehow I can’t ﬁnd it now. Sigh.”

A question that led itself to the memory realm was: How does memory lend itself to the physical manifestation of the house? Over here we look at the possibility of visualizing the temporal plurality of “home-ness” in the ancestral house and the chance for reconciliation wherein this list of 9 objects is storing memory. A peek into the narrations lends a unique perspective of the ancestral house that reveals the ideas of memory, home, time, and the self. In that respect, there is an existence of the ancestral house which is beyond the known realm

BELOW: Just like the lady with the lamp, the front porch signifies waiting. It has its own island of memory that remains as its figure ground. With the backdrop of the landscapes of its geographical existence wrapped with many written narrations, the front porch with the easy chair is a portal to the outwardly.

BELOW: For Freud “unhomeliness” was more than a simple sense of not belonging; it was the fundamental propensity of the familiar to turn on its owners, suddenly to become defamiliarized , derealized, as if in a dream.”

ABOVE: The portal of the ceiling fan was the one that was available to everyone. It inverted the ground plane in a way that hid stories within the sub tunnels of its own existence.
