The house is designed as a contemporary-spatial entity yet remaining tropically inclined, in terms of context and climate and materials. Being set back massively away from the main access road, it provides for a setting that spells out the scale and enormity of the house. Clean straight lines as the design language and use of local materials generically dictate the character that finally shows out. Punched by a big courtyard inward looking, away from the main road, the house caters to privacy of the insiders, thus projecting an imposing façade and volume on the outside face, and at the same time inducing a porous kind of spatial quality on the inside, which is crucial for the typology and climate of the region containing this house.

• COMFORT FOR THE USERS : The architecture forms & the open spaces are the direct reflection of the local climate & temperature – “hot & humid” The all work spaces are kept away from the south façade and air flow is let to pass over the vegetation allowing for the passive cooling from the sw direction. Passive design measures include orientation, building mass, Controlled ventilation & fenestration, shading of the building & its surroundings, thermal mass & the solar reflectivity of the facades and roofs. The west façade is treated with tilted walls with openings to get the indirect lighting and the air movement. The courtyards b/w the work spaces provides the users the relaxing and the comforting environment. • CUSTOMIZATION OF RESOURCE AND ENERGY : Use of locally sourced & available materials for landscape & site development. Maximum utilization of natural lighting & wind by providing the north lighting and the louvers reducing the mechanical lighting and ventilation. Use of energy efficient materials within the limits of building energy quotient of ASHRE. • FASTER CONSTRUCTION : Pre cast construction – the most fastest and proven fastest method of construction world over. The pre-cast columns, beams, foundations & wall panels completely integrated with services is recommended over the conventional method of construction which is thrice more time consuming.
