Inspiration: Wada is a style of houses with one or more courtyards and verandah at the edge. Wada is one of the noble source of inspiration to learn so many vernacular things with accordance of comfort and simple methods of designing and construction.

Concept: Wada is a concept of houses with passive cooling and lighting techniques which is most commonly found in many regions of Maharashtra. An attempt of achieving human comforts with centuries old wada system in my design with modern days needs and the segregating of public, semi-public, private spaces.
