CONCEPT
Open plan that allows visual integration of the landscape. There is a play of form, function, light and some of the walls to create airy, open, naturally lit and ventilated space. The house shows us the expression of an idea in a unique space moment, when we use the work throughout a sensorial course, distributed to serve the functional program. The design of the house and the landscape employ a number of key sustainable design strategies to ensure minimum maintenance, low energy using low water use and low embodied energy.The front corner elevation has Jaali work balanced by tensile framed structure in front of entrance lobby. The simple exterior has a contrast use of elements and texture on the face where wooden cladding on first floor balcony above rear bedroom continues and connects the pergola above driveway as aesthetic element. Surface is finished with Dholpur stone to provide a rough texture providing it a royal look. The Chocolate-Brown color Projection all over the front elevation complemented to the front one.

Landscaping provides an attitude that encourages the viewer to come forth and explore the spaces for himself and thus adding an element of user participation. Building has its own individual identity within the limit of boldness and technical aspects as the built form says it-self that the form belong to the natural stream
The gateway of the building is led to front lawn with amazing courtyard and water. A pool in the courtyard and water flowing become a focal point of the court. The sound of the flowing water of the fountain becomes so mesmerizing that it reminds the feeling of inner peace with oneself and with nature.
DESIGN BRIEF
SITE LOCATION – This site is located in Hanuman Nagar, outskirts of Jaipur (Rajasthan). The Plot is 5800 sq.ft in size with parallelogram shape which was a big challenge in its own way, but with high quality designing and retaining all the basic concepts of architecture we created an design which outstands against other residential designs.
SITE CONDITION – It is an corner plot which is open from two sides to the road. In the vast sandy northwestern region, soils are predominantly saline or alkaline. Rajasthan has a wide range of climate varying from extremely arid to humid.
CHALLENGES – The design uses traditional cooling methods found in the desert environment of Rajasthan, such as green landscape and the use of Jali inspired structures
PLANNING CONCEPTS – It is a corner plot open from 2 sides to the road. The design uses traditional cooling methods found in the desert environment of Rajasthan, such as green landscape and the use of Jali-inspired structures. House is designed according to VASTU SHASTRA guidelines. It is always suggested to intake of the enough sunlight, fresh air and space required to attain life’s charm, hygiene, health, wealth and families harmony. It also emphasizes to maintain nature’s own value and sanctity like rainwater harvesting, plantation making it enviroment free from pollution 7 hazards. Design of this house uses two sectional views: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal moves creates two courtyards one at back of house and another connecting first and second floor while the vertical moves digs the central landscape with upper floors.
The combination of these two moves serves the house interlocking with site and surrounding. Thus interweaving the inside outside spaces with a play of light and dark. The “Client” brief was for a multistory family home on a narrow exposed site that would incorporate views, while at the same time, providing security and privacy. The owner wanted an open-plan design with lots of light and a sense of space throughout the house, as well as privacy and quite for the bedroom on upper levels. The building turns into a dramatic space at night enhanced by lights and create shadows which fall on the walls of the building and it seems that they are merging. The fusion of light and shadow in the exterior is so profound that the building seems to glow and shine at night and the sight of it is so nostalgic. Interrelated open space is generic basis of landscape design, permeating the HOUSE, symbiotic relations has been established. Hall in basement leads to bar area which opens into home theatre. The bar has a trapped ceiling and wooden panels as design elements. The bar-an extension adds the jazz to the theatre provides the luxury feel to the basement.
ELEVATIONAL CONCEPTS – The front corner elevation has Jaali work balanced by tensile framed structure in front of entrance lobby. The simple exterior has a contrast use of elements and texture on the face where wooden cladding on first floor balcony above rear bedroom continues and connects the pergola above driveway as aesthetic element. Surface is finished with Dholpur stone to provide a rough texture providing it a royal look. The Chocolate-Brown color Projection all over the front elevation complemented to the front one. The Front elevation has big glass panels where in a cantilever platform extends from first floor act as balcony overlooking the private lawn.
