The Linear House, strategically positioned on a narrow rectangular plot, presents a distinctive architectural challenge and opportunity. The constraints of a linear plot inherently limited the possibilities for spatial planning. The elongated layout was thoughtfully designed to optimize the linear configuration, ensuring that each room served a purpose without compromising on the functionality.
Editor’s Note: Although the “Linear House” has a pretty straightforward design, the impact it creates is immense. The beauty of the facade lies in the diagonal shadow patterns created by the nearby pergola, while the sun’s movement sets it in continuous motion until dusk. The glass railing creates a barrier-free visual that makes the volume light and airy. The minimal palette of greys, browns, and whites aligns with the simplicity of the design language. – Gopika Pramod
