Elevated House Transcends Limits | Prashant Parmar Architect & Shayona Consultant

This Compact Elevated House Transends Limits. Large plots are not essential for lavish homes, but a thoughtful space planning can break the limitations of small plots by making it breathable, inviting adequate natural light and ventilation.

Editor’s Note: The facade of this residence in Ahmedabad bathes in warm tones of brown and grey with alternate white frames to break the monotony. The interplay of shades and shadows through perforated jali walls in the entrance exude a sense of comfort. Terrace gardens and balconies act as adequate breakout spaces to relax and rejuvenate. ~ Simran Khare

And there is a common wall on East side, and an adjacent plot on the North side with very less margins. To give a unique identity to this house, we have created 2 cantilevered cuboids in this G+3 Structure by providing garden balconies on every levels.

Also, in this limited floor plate, the client wanted to have all the activities connected with the nature or balconies. But, we took it as an opportunity and expanded the bungalow vertically which eventually led us to fulfill the client’s requirements and explore our expertise in the vertical facades. To cut the harsh sunlight from South side, we have created solid walls on this side with minimal openings.

This bungalow is equipped with high-end automation system for the ease of the client. To get a seamless and subtle feel, we have laid Italian marble on all 3 floors.

Ground Floor:

On the ground floor, we have provided the parking for 3 cars, A lift, A servant room, puja space, and a vestibule. The automated sliding gate is adorned with WPC planks with MS Frames which also provides privacy to the indoor activities.

Dining Area:

The dining area is directly connected with the drawing room, balcony and the kitchen which makes the user easy to communicate anywhere in the Space. The Italian marble dining top and the beige leather chairs adds luxury to the space.  The beige colored Fluted Panels on TV wall acts as a backdrop of dining.

Kitchen:

The modular kitchen is designed in a minimal way with light grey matte finished acrolam cabinets. The dark grey quartz in the dado, seizure stone platform top and grey breakfast chairs is contrasted with the overall greyish theme.
