Exterior View of the Residence
The site with an area of 467 sq. m. is located in the southern part of Delhi. The residence design is defined by the masterful composition of its materials; exposed brick, concrete and steel, complemented by teak louvers that bring pattern and privacy to the architecture.
The project scope involved both exterior and interior design, offering an opportunity to create a design that features openness, a modernist-inspired aesthetic and the use of raw materials inside and out.
Exterior View of the Residence
The house is formed of three distinct volumes. A narrow front block is clad in stone, with teak louvers and steel frames sheltering the terraces; a middle block is constructed of brick and concrete; and finally, a concrete structure retained from a previous house on the site.
The design involved use of dense exposed brick to ensure a pleasant temperature inside the home and the irregular fenestrations of the front public space are countered with a strict geometric grid.

The design for the interior provides an opportunity to explore modernist ideas further; primary colours, such as red, green and yellow, were used in the common areas of the house, while the furniture references iconic architects of the same era that inspire the work of the firm, including Pierre Jeanneret, Corbusier, Gio Ponti, Eileen Grey and Eero Saarinen.
