WEEKEND HOUSE In Mahabaleshwar Our design program suggested to design a weekend home for an architect of your choice. Study his habits and his lifestyle and design a weekend home for him and his family following his design principles . Architect I chose was AR. SOURABH PHADKE. CONCEPT For designing a weekend house for Sourabh Phadke sir, I had to do deep study about earth construction and using his 5 main principles1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
SUSTAINABILITY, ECO FRIENDLY CONSTRUCTION, LOW COST, REUSE,RECYCLE AND REDUCE USE OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE MATERIAL
ZONING WORKSHOP
INTERACTION WITH AN ARCHITECTAfter interviewing the architect and his family, we discovered his need and requirement. Architect Sourabh Phadke is a person who doesn't believe in brick and concrete, his work revolves around nature $ earth. Instead of making bungalows and malls in city, he prefer working in rural areas and teaching people how to built there own houses with locally available material. His aim is to aware people about earth construction. After understanding his lifestyle and preferences, I concluded to make a space like weekend workshop for him in his weekend house .
PRIVATE COTTAGE ENTRANCE Zoning of workshop is in the end so that a student proceeding towards the workshop shop should have a look at every other feature of construction and be eager to learn that in workshop.
AND MY DESIGN COMPRISES OF TWO SUCH TECHNIQUES-
Use Of Waste In Construction EARTHBAG CONSTRUCTION and EARTHSHIP BIOTECTURE
