    Rooted, locally sourced, and traditionally crafted is what comes to mind at first glance of this abode. The classic placement of white wash with bricks in different shades and arrangement adds a defining perspective to it.” – Nishal Sevak (Co- Editor)

    The context has two big trees in front of the house which acted as a key design factor and no trees were cut during the construction. The tree crown on the south eastern part provided the shade for the first half of the house reducing the heat conducting areas .

    The walls are aligned in the north east to south west axis creating the wind flow without any hindrance. The  entry is facing the south west direction having a small court in front of the house with the swing area anda cutout on top followed by the main entrance.

    the living area faces the window in the corner creating the vista for existing trees and plantations. The house is built by having mud interlock blocks on the southern and western zone. It has cseb block masonry on the southern most corner.

    Triangular pockets are created all around the house providing the space for the landscape, Utility, pet zone and recreation. The temperature difference is around 3 degree inside the house.

    the house is completely lit throughout the day reducing the mechanical light loads. Roof carries the profile of a wing point towards the windward direction  which aerodynamically provides wind for the first floor when done.
