BRICK WEAVE HOUSE
PROJECT STATUS : COMPLETED I YEAR 2022 I KUMBAKONAM
The Brick Weave House is a home nestled in a Mixed-use Building at Kumbakonam. It is the most unique among the neighboring row houses having been designed with an attractive and functional brick-woven screen. The challenge was to create a mixed-use typology in this tiny plot, with commercial space at the ground floor and a residential duplex over the same footprint for the first floor.

The challenge of light and ventilation is only from the street side or the sky. Metaphoric to its context, the “Brick Screens” are “weaved” through MS Rods all along the fenestration of the facade. The combination of the solid brick wall and brick Weave screen blends with the old town surrounding context.
