This 2200 sq ft residence is located at northwestern region of Ahmedabad at Panchamrut greens society. The built form if discussed through architectural lens, is based on modern contemporary style. The client came up with the brief for having a residence that has traditional touch with the contemporary touch. Considering the brief, we came up with idea of syncing both the styles and through different elements, coexistence of both styles can be done. The home is designed for the family having three generations and simultaneously all their values must be reflected in their residence.
