| DESIGN NAME: Cube House PRIMARY FUNCTION: Family Residence INSPIRATION: Climatic design principals have been used to outcome contextual constraints and provide opportunity for design expression. The cubic volume is the core concept of the house reflecting the nature of the family. It is planned with stepped terraces in the north and the east to maximize daylight while the raised blocks of the west and south overshadow these terraces. With its form the house successfully opens itself towards its landscaped areas offering green vistas from the internal spaces. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A multigeneration family house manifested as a blend of modern aspirations and traditional values of its habitants. Situated within a dense urban fabric, the site demanded careful consideration of massing to maintain privacy and openness. The physical form is conglomerated within a single cubic volume leaving one third of the land for landscaping. All components of the house adhere to this inherent geometry at various scales. The overall composition of the cube exuding clarity and simplicity. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Not Applicable PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: March 2016- January 2018. Ahmedabad, Gujarat. India. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The bold contrasting external finishes such as brushed colored lime plaster and texture paints define different volumes of the house thus bringing a new sense of vibrancy in the neighborhood. The use of red travertine on the compound wall and landscape features not only enhances the user experience but also rejuvenates the street. The internal material palette is an amalgamation of various materials used in specific spaces. Within this mixed palette the extensive use of teak timber in staircase, the bridge, internal doors and the double height screen conveys the warmth within the house. The lime plastered ceiling with exposed concrete finish defines the uniform character of all internal spaces. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The residence edifices multiple living areas, five bedrooms and an entertainment zone with a home theatre, gym and a spa. The heart of the house is the double volume family space attached to an intimate open courtyard. The transparent nature of the courtyard allows unobstructed visual connections across its large floor plate. The staircase and the lift shaft segregate the private bedroom spaces, social living and recreational lifestyle spaces across all floors. Hence the staircase plays a pivotal role in the overall movement in the house. Enhancing the staircase is the interactive and dynamic screen bringing joy to the stair users. This rotating timber planked screen veils the staircase and forms a tall backdrop for the double volume family space. Each bedroom relishes an extended open or semi open space in the form of a terrace or a balcony enhancing the experience of the space and the cross ventilation within the rooms.
