Housing colony for Artists

The gradation of spaces in a housing colony fosters a fluid transition of public to private. The intervention welcomes the community to celebrate gatherings on a porch or in the small courts. The project is about how the spaces are interlinked to each other, is it the place or perhaps the people.

SCALING THE SPACES THROUGH LEVELS

Every room is connected to the other visually making the family come together as a whole, while still retaining the idea of the “display wall” getting seen from every corner of the house.

Interlinked

Hunched over the daily newspaper or getting vegetables from the same vendor, one definetly meets the neighbour, chats, interacts, all on the footsteps of a place called home. Hoping for visitors, craving for conversations, through balconies or porches or windows, beyond the walls and the ceilings people come together to create an exuberant community with all the spaces interlinked to one another, as are the people. The spaces interlooking into each other reducing the distance inbetween them and the one’s who occupy it.
