The client appealed to craft a 3 BHK bungalow located in Sangli with plot dimensions of 30′ X 95′. The rectangular narrow shape of the plot was a bit herculean part in terms of designing the elevations, while the requirements of the client were very modest. The owner was a migrant couple from Mumbai who intended to escape the chaos and cared about the quality of life in harmony with the surrounding. Thus the abstract was to get access to light and ventilation coupled along, interaction with the nature as it was clocked between buildings. The House Of Triangles exudes a unique character through it’s earthy tones.

The “just eliminate and destroy everything in order to accommodate” mindset is unbearable for the architect.
It is the reason why he decided to shape the building the way it is in contemplation to retain the possible number of existing trees in addition to providing even more green spaces. The intent was to create a design mark keeping in mind these parameters.
The brief concluded in a two storied residence that effortlessly flows from common to private spaces, clings a sense of openness and is encased by foliage.
The greenery on the peripheral frontage welcomes the user into the plot, unveiling the house to its utmost elegance.
The ground floor comprises of a living room, kitchen, a double height dining, courtyard and a master bedroom, whereas the first floor houses two master bedrooms and a terrace which are accessible through a staircase and a lift.
The M.S.R railing of the staircase is designed in duco paint which stands out as peculiar and ceremonious. The interiors are minimal, neat and fuss-free.
The main aim was to create simple, pleasing spaces which were usable, inviting and reflects the fluent brilliance of the entire structure.
The triangular terraces and frames add a dramatic effect to the horizontality of the house, thus deriving its name- ‘House of Triangles’.
These terraces which exist on the upper levels are laced with terracotta tiles, vegetation of various scales including Heleconia, Bougainvillea, and Champa, all of which give texture and provide organic, ever changing setting for the distinct form that is the house itself.
The house exudes a unique character through its earthy tones.
