Project Overview

This south-facing residence seamlessly blends modern and vernacular architectural elements, focusing on climate responsiveness and sustainability. The use of exposed brick, concrete framework, and perforated jali screens enhances both aesthetics and functionality by improving insulation, ventilation, and privacy. A key feature is the stack effect staircase, which promotes passive cooling by allowing hot air to rise and escape, ensuring better airflow throughout the house. Large windows and open terraces maximize natural light and cross-ventilation, reducing the need for artificial lighting and cooling. The flat roof design offers potential for rooftop gardens or solar panels, further enhancing energy efficiency. Overall, the residence balances raw materials and contemporary design, creating a comfortable, sustainable, and visually appealing living space.
