This Contemporary Indian House Design Enhances Connectivity Through Open Spaces | Modo Designs
The ground floor is assembled around the central courtyard with 2 bedrooms on the south side, a formal guest area, a workspace and gymnasium on the east, living and dining towards the north garden, and a kitchen adjoining the dining area.
The upper floor has 3 bedrooms on the west side, a home theatre on the South, while a lounge space is on the east overlooking the north garden and extending into an east-side terrace. This terrace becomes an outdoor entertainment area.
The house form is starker on the south roadside while the site has an expansive green space on the north and the form opens up as a double-height space to let the expanse of this green space be visible from lower and upper spaces.
These volumes of the double-height space on the north and the central courtyard allow lower and upper spaces to connect.
The external structure features exposed RCC construction, with fragments of exposed RCC brought inside, complemented by white-painted walls and wood paneling.
