While remaining programmatically similar to the original ocean-view house, this project has transformed it completely. The roof of the existing house was removed and replaced by a curved roof that created spaces for clerestory windows at the heart of the house. The front of the house was demolished so that the floor of the main living areas could b...

In a quaint little village, Kurumbagaram, near the port town of Karaikal in southern Tamilnadu is the vacation home of our client- a newly married couple and their parents. Intended to be a get-away from the hustle of urban life, the house is nestled amongst the shade of sandalwood trees, fruit orchards and paddy fields.

This home complements an urban façade that we have had the opportunity to create over three years. This façade is made up of four projects by the studio.

We sat in this place, on mountain top, and enjoyed the scenery. We felt the blowing wind and wondered how the wind could design the house. From there, we created a creative process to try to find out.

This was a roof with no operation, so we decided to make a nostalgic space for holding private events. These events hold with about 150 people population, so we need spaces for them. We want each person who go there feel travel to past years and see nostalgic symbols, so we started to design a historical house based on Ghajar architecture.

This project provided the opportunity to address the battleaxe block subdivision which too often sees the replacement of an ex-backyard with structures that cover the majority of the site and leave little room for gardens, a poorly defined entry sequence neglecting the home a presence in the neighbourhood and a laneway lost to car parking and solid...
