A strong need of a connection, change and unlearning (learning’s and experience of urban world) calls for a creation of such a threshold in the built form. A meandering driveway around dense cluster of existing trees inaugurates your connection with nature and ultimately reveals the front facade of the house. The unforeseeable scale of a 20 feet wide main steel entrance door set in a punctuated brick facade, redefines scale and acts as a divider between the outside and the inside world. It is this physical threshold that disconnects you from the mundane of the world and at the same time embarks placidness. Passing through this portal one feels purged of their non-tangible baggage hence reinforcing the concept of a threshold.
