CLIENT : Mr. Chaurasiya

LOCATION : KANPUR

SCOPE : Architectural / Interior Design Consultant

ROLE : Concept Development / Layout Planning / Elevation Design

The residence is located on the outskirts of Kanpur and is designed to accommodate the family and their house help. The architectural language of the building is along the lines of purism, consisting of a composition of large planar surfaces and clean lines.

The maximum number of windows have been provided on the north façade while the south façade has very few windows. All rooms are attached to large balconies, which are wider on the north face and narrower on the south face of the building. Maximum blocking has been done on the south and west sides, while keeping the design language in mind.

The staff quarters have been used as a buffer for the south facing bedrooms. A separate staircase and circulation have been provided for the staff quarters. The south side also has a semi open space on the ground floor to be used as a utility and wet area for the kitchen. The layout of the residence follows the principles of Vastu.

The exterior walls of the building have also been used for sun shading. The staircase, although on the south side, is shaded by extending the adjoining wall outward. The larger west wall extends to shade the rooms and adjoining balconies during the day. The walls also extend to form seamless parapets for the balconies.

VILLA COURTYARD

CLIENT : Mr. Pahwas

LOCATION : NCR

SCOPE : Architectural / Interior Design Consultant

ROLE : Interior Concept Development / Interior Designing / 3D Renders

Designed for a family of 4, this farmhouse was conceived on a concept of pure straight lines intersecting to create plains, punctured to get openings thus generating a pleasantly intriguing visual assembly.

The external façade is punctuated with screens which are accentuated with lighting from underneath. The design of this farmhouse is driven by solar passive architecture thus reducing the overall energy consumption by manifolds. Natural day lighting has been given supreme importance in this design with orientation specific facade treatment.

The northern facade has been kept fully glazed to allow penetration of northern diffused light while the screens, deep recess shading and cantilevers have been employed on the west and south facades.

The design skillfully integrates all the water functions in the farmhouse into one water body thus reducing the overall consumption of water by creating an artificial water pond which also serves as a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Energy consumption is also reduced by the use of biogas for all heat related supplies.

DRAWING ROOM VIEW

Every space in the house has its own design identity, yet the spaces flow into each other seamlessly. Glass walls have been used to create this seamless appearance, while screens have been used to segregate areas. Patterns inspired from nature have a recurring appearance throughout the house and have been used in flooring, ceiling, jaalis, furniture and fixed finishes.

The indoor spaces provide panoramic views into the surrounding landscape through large and strategically placed windows. Brass, wood, metal and stone have been used throughout for detailing the interiors.

DINING ROOM VIEW

BAR VIEW

The Dining Room, Lounge and Bar have been designed as connected yet seperated spaces from each other.

The main focus in designing these spaces were given on brining the outdoors in by using clear fixed glass punctures and openable sliding doors to the deck and the lawn. Minimal false ceiling and partition screens are designed so that the space looks uncluttered and inviting in itself.

The Bar is designed on a Moroccan themed language with dark blue coloured walls and self patterned wall papers and floor tiles. Bar counter is of a contemporary style to compliment the walls, wallpapers and floor tile patterns. Partition screen between bar and central space is a sandwitched glass screen with silk lining in between.

ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE VIEW

CENTRAL LIVING SPACE

The central living area has been designed to accentuate the touch of luxury. A hint of nature inside the space is provided by giving large planters that plays a role of visual and spatial barrier as well as tries to maintain the balance between opulence of the materials like brass, veneer, velvet, glass, polished solid wood, marble, finished metal and raw texture of plants.

Set in a lush 4 acre green site, the expansive 25000 sq. ft. residence houses three families of a close knit integrated joint family of ten across four generations. The spaces and their relationships have been derived by systematically analyzing the connections and desires of each individual as well as the group as a whole.

Each family has their own independently sustained units, the common spaces of which open up onto a central community space much like a town-square which overlooks a large central courtyard. This public space also houses the formal dining, drawing and entertainment areas and creates a dynamic and lively heart for the entire residence.
