The Weathered House in Bangalore, India by Kamat & Rozario ArchitectureSeptember 25th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Kamat & Rozario Architecture The client had lived in Japan for a number of years before moving back to India and was very inspired by the works of Tadao Ando and his use of exposed concrete in his projects. He wanted to bring in some of that into his home but on a budget. The house is envisaged as a large concrete tray that hovers over a white monolith.  Image Courtesy © Arjun Krishna Photography

As a consequence, the tray extends itself outwards, shielding the walls on the west and south. The plan of the house opens itself up to the more climatically pleasant east in the form of an open court. This absence of built mass is a creator of moods and goings-on that make it the heart of the house – it is also the lung of the house! The sun continues to guide the placement of rooms on the upper floor. Bathrooms and such are lined on the west wall such that they act as a thermal mass. The rest of the plan continues to open itself up to the east court. The southern facade in the front is an expression of layering in materials of differing perforations and textures – also guided by the sun’s penetrative rays. The leafy monster in front of the house became a partner in the act of layering. The sun is finally allowed to bring its drama into the house by way of the top-lit main stair.
