Project T09-109
South East View of the Earthen House
The site being south-facing, will get ample amount of winter sun through large southern fenestrations. The Ground floor houses the entrance with the pooja room, guest bedroom while the first floor has an office, master bedroom and a meditation room on this part of the residence.
Tall trees on the opposite side of the site create a play of light and shadow on the southern façade of the house in turn providing a beautiful view of the canopies. Taking this and the ample space in front to our advantage, we have designed the meditation room cantilevering from the main structure with main supports of metal and wood adding warmth to the space. A combination of louvered and solid wood operable shutters offers the user privacy, ventilation, light and view.
A large balcony abutting the meditation room gives the master bedroom a breakout platform viewing the front garden with coconut trees and canopies
Exposed CSEB and red brick wall, mud plaster, random rubble masonry, exposed concrete, brick jali walls and Mangalore tiles makes up the array of materials with a touch of the colour Teal.
