With frugal beginnings, the bungalow residential typology’s various evolutions reached their post-colonial zenith of opulence, sub-urbanism and privilege in the late 1990’s.

This project interrogates the Delhi bungalow typology on a substantially smaller plot.

The conflict is generated when these established orders and ways of living change, at that moment we find buildings that cannot satisfy the changes.
