So we visualized the house as an expression of Indian modern and contemporary architecture with a minimal material palette.  View of elevation from street, Image Courtesy © Bharat Aggarwal  Elevation Detail, Image Courtesy © Bharat Aggarwal The residence is located in an urban context, having a strategically planned outward looking interior space with required privacy created by the usage of louvers and screens. The house responds well with internal connectivity and provides interactive spaces for the family, and aimed towards allowing maximum daylight into the interior spaces. All the walls are majorly planned in monochrome and splashes of colors have been added with bright colors in artwork and furniture.  Elevation Detail, Image Courtesy © Bharat Aggarwal  Elevation Detail, Image Courtesy © Bharat Aggarwal The elevation is purely driven from the functions of the interiors. A few blocks have been carved out from the elevation to accommodate multiple terraces which in turn enhance the experience in the interiors. These terraces had to be covered up in a way to create cozy semi-private zones rather than having a direct sight from the street. Wooden and metal elements are custom designed to both create the privacy needed and also create the play of light and shadows in the interiors. The major element in the left part of the elevation is a staircase which had to be treated well to make it a distinctive feature as well. The front wall uses large glass panes shaded using wooden louvers and an abstract cantilevered roof element above it.

This triple height space is characterized with a rough Indian Gwalior stone, placed in different sizes adding a very subtle texture in the space.
