“GELEYARA GOODU”

Bengaluru, Karnataka

“Situated in a serene landscape, Geleyara Goodu is a home that celebrates the beauty of shared spaces while respecting individual privacy. This home explores the unique concept of four distinct dwellings, each with its character, yet united under a single roof.”

Built-up Area : 16600 sq. ft.

No. of Floors : Stilt + Ground + 1

Introduction:

Situated in a serene landscape, Geleyara Goodu is a home that celebrates the beauty of shared spaces while respecting individual privacy. This home explores the unique concept of four distinct dwellings, each with its character, yet united under a single roof.

Design Concept:

Geleyara Goodu, meaning “resting nest for friends,” emerged from a unique collaboration between four close friends who envisioned a shared living experience. They sought to create a unique community by pooling multiple plots and collectively designing their homes. The concept revolves around fostering a strong sense of community and shared living while respecting the individuality of each family within this unique cohabitation.

Site Context:

The site comprises five contiguous plots, each measuring 2,400 sq. ft. and approximately 60 ft by 40 ft each. The home is on the outskirts of Bengaluru and is nestled within a larger expanse of vacant land inside a gated community. Positioned between two parallel roads with independent access at both ends, the site offers a balance of privacy and connectivity. The gently sloping topography, characterized by minimal vegetation, provides a blank canvas for architectural intervention.

Site Massing

The Site: Ground Plane Modula

Five plots, each 40’ x 60’, are positioned between two parallel roads, with independent access on either side. The gentle slope drops about 6 feet, offering a unique setting for the development.

Internal Courtyards: Layering of Spaces:

Each unit includes a private courtyard, enhancing the sense of space and promoting interaction with the exterior landscape. The glazing around courtyards fosters a seamless visual link between the interior and exterior.

ivate courtyard, form a unified placing private spaces on the romotesseamless connections urrounding landscape.

The building mass, set back from all sides above the podium, creates a continuous horizontal plane that connects all units around a landscaped courtyard, enabling uninterrupted movement between them.

Landscaped Terraces:

The upper levels feature open terraces, offering expansive outdoor areas around the central courtyard. This flexible design allows residents to enjoy both private and communal outdoor living.

Spatial Zoning:

The plot is thoughtfully divided into private and communal zones. The stilt floor caters to parking space, while the ground and first floors house living and private spaces. The zoning ensures fluid movement and clear distinctions between shared and individual areas. While the courtyard becomes the epicenter, the private gardens and terraces offer each family a sense of seclusion. This careful zoning ensures a harmonious balance between communal living and individual needs.

Stilt Floor:

To address the sloping site, the homes are elevated on a podium, creating a sense of lightness and openness. This approach eliminates the need for a boundary wall while enhancing visual appeal and providing privacy from the street. Parking and service areas are accommodated beneath the podium, ensuring convenient access. The elevated datum also fosters a stronger connection to the surrounding landscape.

Ground Floor:

The ground floor units feature a simple and inviting layout. Upon entry, one encounters a foyer that gracefully leads into a double-height living room. The pooja room, dining area, and kitchen are seamlessly integrated on one flank with the living space, while a guest bedroom is discreetly positioned near the entrance. This configuration maximizes natural light and ventilation, while strategically positioning living areas to enjoy views of the private courtyard and the central green.

Single Unit Plan:

Foyer & Living Room:

As one enters the foyer, there is a transition from the central courtyard into the private dwelling. This space then unfolds into a double-height living room, a dramatic and light-filled area that immediately captures attention. The huge volume emphasizes the openness of the home, while the subtle palette of Jaisalmer stone, exposed concrete, and cement-plastered walls create a sense of understated elegance. Large glass panes act as a permeable zone, connecting the interior to the views of the courtyard, blurring the lines between indoors and out. This visual connection to the greenery creates a tranquil atmosphere and extends the living space beyond the physical walls.

Dining Room:

The dining room offers a more intimate setting for gatherings, while being seamlessly connected to the kitchen and pooja room on one side, maintaining a link to the social hub of the home. This space benefits from natural light filtering through long glass windows, one facing the internal courtyard and the other overlooking the backyard plantation. The material palette established in the living room continues here, with the surrounding greenery as the highlight of the space, creating a cohesive aesthetic throughout.

First Floor:

Ascending the stairs, one is greeted by a vestibule informal study nook. This space features a bay window offering delightful views of the central courtyard. It seamlessly transitions into two generously sized bedrooms, each complemented by spacious private terraces that open to the sky.

Single Unit Plan:

Informal Study Nook:

The study nook in the vestibule has a cozy bay window with peaceful views of the courtyard. Throughout the home, a restrained material palette creates a sense of understated elegance, with warm wood accents adding richness and texture. The natural wood is especially noticeable in the study nook, in elements like the shelves, window frames, and flooring, creating a welcoming space.

Spatial Flow & Connectivity (Longitudinal Section):

The narrow guarded entry to the entire development reiterates the notion of “oneness”. The design emphasizes seamless spatial flow and connectivity, with the central courtyard serving as the heart of the community, drawing residents together and encouraging interaction. The gentle slope of the site is thoughtfully utilized, creating a meandering green pathway that leads towards the dwellings, makingthe entry into the house an experience in itself.

Play Of Solids (Cross Section):

The strategic play of the solids & voids creates a sense of openness. The central courtyard, a prominent feature, fosters social interaction while providing a sense of enclosure. The interplay of solid and void, combined with the integration of green spaces, creates a dynamic and visually engaging composition.

Collective Harmony: Four Dwellings, One Home

The houses cohesively come together with a central common green, which act of the design. Public spaces are positioned on the inner ring, and private spac outer ring, connected by expansive glazing that fosters transparency an landscape and neighboring units. This allows for a harmonious coexisten experiences, where boundaries between homes dissolve, yet persona

Conclusion:

Geleyara Goodu is a profound example of the human experience of collective living. The home boldly challenges conventional notions of domesticity by bringing together four distinct families, each with their unique personalities and lifestyles, under a single, unifying roof. Nestled within a serene landscape, it celebrates the beauty of shared spaces. This is not just a house—it’s a celebration of life, unity, and simplicity.

“THE BRICK HOUSE”

New Delhi

“The project engages with the multiple contexts of climate, landscape, and materiality to create a spatial experience that is constantly evolving and `engaging.”

“THE BRICK HOUSE” - Project Details

Plot Area : 73,224 sq. ft.

Plot Dimesions : 226’ X 324’

Built-up Area : 4,365 sq. ft.

Landscaped Area : 8,065 sq. ft.

No. of Rooms : 4

No. of Cars : 6

The Site: The house is planned towards the southern end of a 6,780 sq. m. plot. This allowed the building to take advantage of the natural slope of the land, the location of an existing tree, and a previously built driveway on its eastern boundary. The project consists of four structures that define its spatial character (a circular guard room, a cuboidal pump room, and two residential blocks). Each structure is made predominantly of brick.

Planning of spaces: The house is divided into two residential blocks, with a steel trellis connecting the two. The project engages with the multiple contexts of materiality and tectonic, sun and shadow, to create a spatial experience that is constantly evolving and engaging. The temporality associated with these shadows along with those cast by the trellis and adjacent building blocks creates a pattern on the wall that in response to the position of the sun.

Evaporative Cooling and Stack Effect:

The degree of shade and type of shadow varies on account of both the brickwork and the angle of the sun, collectively they shade the wall and in doing so contribute to the building’s passive cooling strategies. Northwestern winds over the pool help in the evaporative cooling of the building. Courtyards help the passive air movement through the building keeping temperatures comfortable in the summers.

Swimming Pool:

A swimming pool is strategically located at the junction of the two residential blocks and the overhead trellis. It serves as a water reservoir for evaporative cooling which is another one of the project’s passive cooling design strategies.

Courtyards: Within the house, a series of four courtyards allow for a more intimate landscape expression and occupation which along with a clerestory window in the kitchen induces the “stack effect” and allows the hot air to escape from the adjoining interior spaces. This further helps to keep the building cool.

The Pump Room: A cuboidal brick pump room is located in one corner of the pool which along with the circular guardroom serves as an architectural folly within the greater landscape. By virtue of their prominent locations, the structures introduce the project’s defining elements while maintaining an identity that is unique to them.

Elevations - Block A:

The pattern of the bricks evolves as the sun moves both over the course of the day and of the year. The graphic and abstract shadows cast by both the brickwork and the trellis collectively create “a sense of space and a sense of place.”

Elevations - Block B:

The brick patterns create an aesthetic that is dynamic (dependant on the location of the sun and the shadows it casts) as well as static (defined by the brick coursing and the trellis).

Brick Typologies - Type A:

Distinct and varied brick coursing details establish a series of wall typologies that define the visual character of the project. The house’s aesthetic is derived from a hand-crafted tectonic that resulted from the relationship between a basic brick module and the sun. A series of brick projections that are denser at the bottom and more sparse as they rise is organized as three equally spaced courses that accentuate the verticality of the buildings and distinguish between the ground plane and the top of the building. Collectively they define the formal language of the project’s elevations.
