This holiday home is a duplex residence of approximately 3800 square feet situated on a four katha plot of land. The primary objective of the client who commissioned us for this spacious house was to avail some relaxing time far from fast- paced urban life.
Here, Four bedrooms with attached bathrooms and verandas, separate living & dining space with kitchen, a front facing large terrace at upper floor, car parking, driver’s and caretaker’s room at ground level, Prayer room and gymnasium at roof were incorporated functionally and efficiently to make it homely for the dwellers. To make it more energy efficient than other average buildings we focused on natural ventilation, sun light utilization and the use of local and available materials. Here, The building was constructed with red brick and portions of its facades were left unclad to maintain a native intact aspect but at the same time a black plane was placed at the front façade to create contrast and hierarchy as well as to break the monotony of red brick. The Boundary walls of this project was designed in a way so that it can help the creeper plants grow with it and give itself a semi transparent look along with proper security. Finally, since this house was built in a rural setting, we tried to preserve the area's rural feel by addressing harmony with nature and preserving the area's trees to enjoy a peaceful retreat.
