This sculptural house is contextual to its surroundings, the climate & the owner’s needs, creating an interesting play of volumes, open enclosed & semi enclosed spaces at every level. The design creates energy efficient spaces with reduced heat gain & indirect natural light in each part of the house. Built of locally sourced bricks, sandstone & lime plaster with local craftsmen & contract labor from the immediate vicinity, water recycling, rain water harvesting & solar panels for energy generation. The house is built sustainably & is climate responsive.
Our vision for the project was to create a sculpture, not a house – one that becomes a landmark and makes use of the space in a very permeable manner.
