  • This Backyard House Fits Perfectly On A Wedge-Shaped Plot | 3dor Concepts

    A backyard house in Matool named ‘House in the Backyard’ comes from its disposition with the client’s own homestead next to the site. The client approached us with the requirement of a 4-bedroom house and conducive amenities on a wedge-shaped site that tapered towards one side.

    Editor’s Note: “The House In The Backyard by 3dor Concepts adapts creative planning on a wedge-shaped site in Matool. The design, calm and expansive in feel with minimal interiors, a neutral palette, and thoughtful openings, zones the house. Blending indoors and outdoors, the design enhances greenery in the house while offering sensory experiences to the users.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

    Backyard House

    Site Design And Planning

    The main challenge here was to design the spaces in such a way that they didn’t feel restricted by space while at the same time ensuring privacy for both families in the residence and in the homestead.

    Backyard House

    It was intimidating yet unwaveringly interesting to design on a site that has such strict constraints by means of its shape.

    The site has a wedge-like shape, tapering towards one side. Despite being on a narrow plot, The House in the Backyard defies spatial constraints through the meticulous planning that has been worked out on the design.

    It was a quintessential part of the planning process to replicate the shape of the site to that of the building form itself. While being confined to the unique shape of the site, it’s made sure that every inch of the site is a deliberate choice.

    Design Approach

    The foremost and substantial decision in the design approach was to extend the whole feel of the interior towards the exterior. We have seamlessly integrated the interior spaces with the exterior by strategically placing openings feel expansive while connected to the outdoors.

    The design approach revolves around maximizing every inch of the plot, at the same time ensuring a flawless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces.

    The architects carefully arranged functional zones along the length of the residence. It also creates a harmonious flow from one space to the next.

    The foliage in the small patch between the living and the bedrooms arrests all your senses as you go through the passage.

    Interior Spaces

    Almost all the individual spaces in the residence are open to the exterior. Moreover, this allowed us to guarantee seemingly spacious interiors by extending the space beyond its physical boundaries.

    The interiors are kept minimal but have a unique language of their own. We’ve intentionally avoided unnecessary embellishments and kept a neutral color palette.

    Shades of white and grey set the tone that is contrasted well with popping colors, emphasizing the focal points.

    This has accentuated the whole design language of the interiors. The deliberate curation of elements in the spaces fosters a sense of tranquility and calmness throughout the house.
